I'm wondering how feasible this character would actually be early on... I guess he or she could side-quest a lot and level prior to taking on the Nashkel mines. But even then I'm thinking this is going to be next to impossible just to get to chapter 3. Making it to chapter 4 would also be very tough.
Can one just grab Mulahey's Holy symbol and the letters in the chest in his lair without fighting him? Sanctuary would work for that.
Anyway, thoughts?
This made me think of the challenge of the opposing vision: soloing as a cleric of Ilmater who eschews personal accumulation of wealth. He or she would never even touch a coin, or any sort of treasure. The character wouldn't gather any loot drops, and would use only a wooden staff and mundane sling/bullets. In order to survive such a character would have to rely on spells anyway.-Capitalism wins. The more you adventure out there, the more coins you posses. Also, the game is full of beggars and other people with the same miniature that obviusly aren`t strong enough to get their own coin in the Realms.
