I must say, the Orc avatar certainly is the closest to true n00d. (Dare I suggest, True N00d-tral?) Interesting idea, though I honestly don't know why Imoen would pal around with her big, naked nudist brother. Then again, I'd stooner stuff Imoen in a crate and ship her off to Timbuktu than party up with her.

Your tale of Zach over at Ironworks was a riot. It's amazing how quickly you seem to progress through the game. I tend to plod along; maybe one nice-sized quest per sitting.

So, my updates:

Solo Sorc is in ToB dragging two NPCs along with him for story purposes.

I've *still* not finished my Monk's party. Think they're in Ch. 6.

Meanwhile, have started a Half-Orc Paladin (edited w/Shadowkeeper) to explore the Jaheira romance.

Solo Assassin (started last April, maybe?) still in Ch2. Keep getting bored trying to get Cernd's baby quest to spawn.

Icewind Dale: Solo Ranger/Cleric *whomping* ass, just as you predicted. Of course, it does help that Str/Dex/Con/Wis are 18.

Party of a Bard and Druid is slowly advancing. Bard outkilling Druid by leaps and bounds so far. Bow-users, like my bard, seem exceedingly dominant early-on in Infinity Engine games. Anyway, Bard & Druid seemed an interesting choice since they probably get the least attention of any classes.
