You ask for the class pretending you don't know nothing about, but you know them very good eh lol. Go for the beast master or bounty hunter if you like to play like an invalid for next 50 hours, and gg in areas where you are sorrounded at the start so your traps wont do shit. Every class have some cons.
Once again: "I have compiled a shortlist of classes that I have never really played much of before, OR classes that are traditionally considered a challenge to solo with."
Where Bounty Hunters are concerned, I know only as much about them as has been presented to me on this thread (plus a few more generic thieving things from years of playing the game and having thieves in the party). Thus, Bounty Hunter would fall into the "never really played much of before" camp. I only know basic premises but have never solo'd the class.
Shapeshifters I know a lot about, and never claimed otherwise. Shapeshifter would therefore fall into the "traditionally considered a challenge to solo with" camp. I haven't solo'd this class either, but I have played with it a fair bit.
I'd like to remind everyone to stay respectful and nice to each other.
There's nothing wrong in asking for opinions even if a player knows how kits and classes work, because people share not only basics of playing but also peculiarities which in the end can decide the player's choice.

Based on my recent solo no-reload run (which eventually failed in the Ducal Palace), I'd say that beast masters are definitely ''A'' class for the purposes of BG 1 . And I can imagine them being very soild throughout the entire SoA as well.
I use traditional PnP roll method of stat-assignment. I re-roll three times (taking the best roll), then simply allocate the stats where I need them for the class I am playing. I never use the + or - buttons (except to take into account the racial bonus/penalty).

I hope that makes the situation clearer for you.

Any useful tips you might share with us?
Will you try it again, or perhaps do a solo not no-reload run?
I really hope this doesn't remain a deadlock.
Why know what you're gonna play, let RNG guide your doom.
Thank you to everyone for participating!
