[QUOTE="redrick, post: 6574171, member: 6777696"] Another question is, are you planning on starting at first level? True first level solo (no hirelings or companions or DM NPCs) would probably be pretty tricky if you intend to have any combat, but, theoretically, once you get to 3rd level or so, you could just start running 1st level adventures. Bounded accuracy should allow them to scale without too much tweaking, and a reasonably rounded character, say with the criminal background to provide stealth and thieve's tools, should be able to at least have a chance of success in most situations. I can imagine Keep on the Borderlands working really well as a Yojimbo style adventure with a 3rd or 4th level Fighter/Criminal or Fighter/Charlatan. The character would need to be able to handle herself in a few combats against a group of low-level humanoids, but they could then start stalking around from camp to camp and pitting the monsters against each other without having to single-handedly clear out a cave full of bugbears.
