I'm fairly familiar the ruleset and have played a fair bit. I'm playing with the mod called Battle Enhancer. It only works with BG1 to my knowledge.
I've never actually completed the game but I don't want it to be "easy". In terms of "stack wands, potions, scrolls, kill things.
So far my plan is taking Imoen, Minsc and whoever else. Main character is a wild mage/cleric (edited save).
All I came up with so far is: don't save and reload during fights (I'm keeping reloading to a minimum. If five out of six die and I have to travel to resurrect them, that's fine but a party wipe means a reload). I'm going with that only arcane magic based characters can use wands. Scrolls can only be used by mages.
I'm trying to come up with a realistic limit on scrolls/potions/wands, etc. But I have never played far enough to have a basic idea on what I need.
Other than only resting at inns or where it seems safe (ie explored most of the area) and setting a limit on how much gold I can have at once and keeping it on core difficulty, I'm not sure how else I can make it more challenging.
One thing I'm curious of, how does enemy respawning work? Do enemies respawn if I leave the area and renter it? For example going from the first area with Imoen after Gorion dies, to the Inn and then travelling back to that area, will enemies respawn if I haven't rested or do I need to rest to have enemies respawn?
Oh and a note for mods: I didn't put this in the challenge section since I felt it was better here to get a better general idea of how to make the game harder without doing a specific challenge.
