Start BG2 At First Level Options

[kix]

For the last couple of months , I've been having a pretty good time replaying BG2 with characters starting off at 1st Level.

First, I used the game to create a single character from each class and saved the characters for future use.

Second, I brought each of them into ShadowKeeper and used AD&D P'N'P 2nd edition rules to adjust each to a first level character [HP, Thac0, xpts [100 start], thieving abilities, proficiencies, etc] and saved these characters.

Trying to get out of Irenicus' Dungeon at 1st level without any character death made game replay very enjoyable. And when a Lightning Mephit can toast you, it's also pretty challenging.

I usually make my own party of six, preferring game play to NPC intereactions - but still being able to temporarily drop a character to pick up a NPC for specific quests; and I usually use multiclass half-elves. Spellcasters start off only with randomized 1st level spell[s] [it is truly a blessing when the main character gets Find Familiar randomly - the extra HP's are really handy].

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this.

just use the number: one(1) as the xp, not zero as it might have a few snacks on that one

or 6 (1 for entire party spread out evenly)
