Going solo - suggestions for where to start?

[Rhodan]

Ok, just in case someone is searching on "solo" and hits this thread:

Change all the newb monsters from warrior class to bard. This gets rid of the kick attack which is deadly to new characters

UPDATE npc_types SET class=8 WHERE class=1 and level < 8;

Then turn off poison attacks for mobs less than level 5 or so

UPDATE npc_types SET spell_list_id=0 WHERE spell_list_id = 44 AND level < 5;

This works great for Kelethin and Halas newbie areas. Have to try the others yet - particularly the high elves and evil races. Haven't been there for so long I can't even remember what they fight.
