Arcane caster classes are actually not possible.

As they have a minimum Constitution of 3, you will receive only 1 HP to begin with.

During the cutscenes immediately after leaving Candlekeep, you receive a point of unavoidable damage, and therefore you will not even be able to start Chapter One ...

That is true for higher difficulty levels. I think you get 2 hp minimum no matter what diffculty you choose, but at higher levels Tamoko will hit you for 2. On core rules you will not be killed by her, if my memory serves me right.

As for the class that might have a chance at this challenge, I'd go for paladin, or maybe ranger for min str and con + their bonus abilities.

mystral: A sorcerer with 3 con would get 1 hp per level IIRC. I'm pretty sure that there are some unavoidable sources of damage in the game that would kill you, not even counting traps or enemies that are hard to avoid all damage from.
There are also some quest items that weigh quite a bit I think, so a solo character with 3 strength would be screwed for those.
A sorcerer can summon a familiar and gains himself 6 HP. usually not a big deal, but huge in this case.

It should be noted that sorcerer (nor Summon Familiar) does not exist in original BG1.
