Are we talking challenges using mods, or personal challenges in general? If it's the latter, then I haven't done much outside of some experimentation.

I've tried playing the game without purchasing any equipment (outside of custom equipment), and using only found equipment. And that turned out to be entirely do-able (although, your non-succubus mages do suffer a power/defense drop without purchasing staves).

I've also tried some fights without any equipment at all. Verdict: individual non-boss battles up to Ch 2 are still winnable, and Varia is still surprisingly effective with no equipment.

Other than that, I've spent far more time than I probably should obsessing over developing an optimal investment/decision stratagy w/o whoring Qum. But, I'm guessing that's not unique to me.
