I just did a solo run without the new content with a human chaotic good cleric of pelor and stopped leveling up at 10. I'm thinking of doing another solo with a wizard but level cap 20 and I don't care if I end up over leveled in the beginning. I haven't seen too many toee builds out there and very few threads on any forum about toee builds especially solo builds with the new spells, etc
All base 18 Human Wizard with Combat Reflexes and Imp Init to start helps. Use enlarge person for reach.
For solo, expect to either go gish (fighter/mage style) with enlarge person & grease or go boom with magic missile & fireball or let the enemies kill themselves with lots of charm effects.
That is what I meant but had a separate question about other mods and decided to ask here. I really appreciate all your help
