Any, although "weaker" classes may want to come in at the higher end of the level range. Roleplaying skills come in handy - especially Bluff.

Description
You are Aralia's last hope! With a harsh winter bearing down on the small alpine village, its lifeline to the outside world -- the Pass of Shanafria, the Mountain of Mirrors -- is cut off by forces unknown. The village elders have selected you to climb to the high mountain pass, put a stop to whatever malevolent forces are at work, and reopen the vital link to the Land Beyond the Mountains before it is too late.
This module is based on Rose Estes' 1982 Endless Quest Adventure book "EQ2 - Mountain of Mirrors." The Endless Quest books were choose-your-own-adventure type books published by TSR to draw young readers into D&D. Some parts are true to the book, but much has been added. The Readme file is for players looking for a little guidance, or some info on the source material -- it is entirely optional and you should have no trouble playing the mod without it.
UPDATES - There will be no more updates to this mod and, since it has been a long time since I've received any bug reports, I am no longer going to support it. I hereby give my permission should any builder wish to use this mod or any part of it as part of another work. Furthermore, if the mod becomes "broken" through future patches and someone wishes to update it so that it works again, they may also feel free to do so. I only ask that I be given credit as the original author.
If you enjoy this mod, please give my other mod a try: BLACK THORN, a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.

Excellent design, amusing dialogue, simple and lots of fun to play.
Fighters might need to go in at a lower level than recommended. Be sure to bring your own healing with you and keep your weapons and armour pretty simple without additional properties added to them.
I would tweak a few things, like plot items updating the journal when they go into inventory. But all in all, it was an awesome conversion, and took me back to my childhood. I loved that book, and I love your mod! -U _________________________ Well, y'know... Sometimes you eat the bar, and..

A very good mod for single player. Its a shame that the ice door wont melt if you want to melt it, or if you cast fireball at it.

Just played it again after a long absence. Absence does make the heart grow fonder; or nostalgia. Given the contunuim of votes on the valut for mods this is certainly: 1) I wouldnt changes a thing 2) a must have in a collection of community mods Download and play - you wont regret it.

Thanks for the vote and feedback, Carlo - glad it brought ack some memories for you. Also glad you thought the level recommendation was right. Balancing combat for specific levels can be tough - still not sure I have it figured out... _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.

Just finished the module, want to say thanks for the experience. Well done adventure based on the original book - I'd forgotten parts of it and were happily reminded by the module. Obviously a good deal of work went into polishing the details, which is always greatly appreciated. I began the adventure with a Rgr5 and found the combat challenging, I think the suggested level range is on the mark (start higher for an easier challenge).

A thoroughly enjoyable little module. Good background and story development without being too large. Also, I love Nigel...

Thanks, amethyst347, glad you enjoyed it. I have heard that said about levels with this mod, but I figured I try to gear my suggestions toward the weaker classes and more inexperienced players. I hope you like Black Thorn -- another short mod... unless you play all 8 solutions ;) _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.
