Three questions for IA players/Sikret Options

[JohnGalt]

1. Is it viable to play a monk protagonist in IA? Have there been any changes made to the Monk class? This would be my first IA run-through.

2. Would it break any part of the mod if I wanted to change the class of the Bioware NPC's? I want to try out some new kits this time through the game, and also the personality of some NPC's that I didn't use my first time through. Specifically, I'd like to change Jaheira to a Totemic Druid (single class), Viconia to an Assassin, and Imoen to a Sorceress. The way I intend to do this is using SK, by setting the character to level 0, HP down to 1, removing all spells, innate abilities, thieving skills, proficiencies... etc.. And then giving them enough experience to level up. In tests this has worked surprisingly well. So, again, the question is: will doing this break any part of IA?

3. I'd like to try out class/kits that have a unique playing style. The first time through the game, I used NPCs with only common classes: fighter, ranger, paladin, mage, cleric, thief. Are there any classes that play significantly differently from these? I intend to have a monk, totemic druid, assassin, and sorceress in this runthrough. Any other cool classes/kits that you guys can recommend, that are fun to play (and effective) in IA?

Thanks in advance for any comments. Looking foward to 4.3!

I plain a new party in IA, and i have with that a few questions.

1. In my plans in the Party will Aerie, but as single class priest via Sk.(I am sick from Annoyman, and Xan (PC-s romantic interest) is sick from Viccy)
2. Some of the kit mods is compatible with IA? Namely SP Collection Blade Master Kit.
3. From the following three longswords witch two is the best for an elven blade master (the third will go for Xan) JD,Truth,Hesperus
4. The following party is "compatible" or Vital for IA? Elven fem.Blade Master,Xan,Aerie as priest,Minsc,Jaheira,Immy, Valygar. (Valygar is the substitude, the time for Immy isn't in the party or Xan isn't)

2. Some of the kit mods is compatible with IA? Namely SP Collection Blade Master Kit.

Kit mods which add spell-like powers to the kit are incompatible with IA. For example, a fighter kit which can cast Breach, Stoneskin or Protection From Magical Weapons (or these spells with some other names) isn't compatible with IA.

It's also recommended not to install overpowered kits.

4. The following party is "compatible" or Vital for IA? Elven fem.Blade Master,Xan,Aerie as priest,Minsc,Jaheira,Immy, Valygar. (Valygar is the substitude, the time for Immy isn't in the party or Xan isn't)

Although I don't know anything about the Blade Master kit, I guess it's compatible with IA (I hope it's not insanely overpowered though).
