I have been planning this project for a while now, so I guess I should get it started. I have always preferred to play caster type builds in D2. This project will help me to play builds that I have never completed the game with. This thread will be used for all planning, theorycrafting, and updates as I make progress with the sept.
Rules:
1. All characters will be twinked SC characters that play through the game at a minimum difficulty of P7/P7/P3.
2. All builds will need to be viable from the start without using a "starter build" to get through the early difficulties (ie. no using fissure to fly through normal before using a respec to your actual build).
3. Respecs are allowed, but only to retool stats once twinked gear is available.
4. All quests in all difficulties will be completed before the character becomes a Mat/Pat.
5. The builds will try to relate to the BG character in some way.
Let me introduce you to the members of the Sept, fresh from the Forgotten Realms. I haven't made up my mind on all of the builds yet, and I am open to suggestions if you have fun builds in mind.
Amazon - Imoen - She will be some kind of bowazon, but I'm not sure what kind yet. I was thinking strafe/FA. It seems like it could be a fun build, and it makes sense with Imoen being a mage that uses bows.
Assassin - Alora - I am really up in the air about this one, but I am thinking some kind of kicksin build. I have never made one before so I am open to suggestions.
Necromancer - Edwin - I am thinking that a bonemancer would be a fun build and fitting for Edwin. I haven't played this type of character since the Marrowwalk glitch, and even then I never finished the game with it.
Barbarian - Minsc - He has to be a berserker. There are just no other options in my mind. I am thinking of doing the version that has a bunch of one point wonders instead of fully maxing berserk damage, but I'm not sure yet.
Paladin - Ajantis - I hate to admit this, but I have never finished a fanaticism zealer. I have an eth Reaper's that would be really helpful on an A2 merc next to this guy. Since a zeal paladin was the first character I ever made in D2, I think this needs to be finished.
Sorceress - Aerie - She is the one that started this whole idea. I wanted to make a dedicated LK sorc, so she is in A2 hell as a light/FO sorc.
Druid - Cernd - He has to be a shapeshifter. I was initially thinking of making a fury druid, but I am worried about this being too similar to the zealer. I was also toying with the idea of a fireclaws bear. Either way, Cernd will cross the finish line in some form that is not human.
I was planning on doing pretty sparse updates, but some people seemed to like the more thorough updates I was doing in the Three-Way Redux tournament. If anyone is interested in the same kind of write-up so you can follow along with these characters, let me know.

The runs were going OK, but my merc couldn't handle Mephisto very well. I was doing the moat trick, but I didn't like how much time it was taking. After switching to an ethereal Blackhorn's Face and an ethereal Reaper's Toll, the merc could tank long enough to let me get the kill. From 82-85, she had a few good drops.
