True, I did cheat that character. But it was perfectly fair cheating: I took a Human Fighter and gave him all the bonuses and drawbacks of a Half-Orc Barbarian. You may say, "Ah, but it's still cheating, so it's unfair." But compare that character to one that I took all the way through BG1, and then re-imported into BG1, to get all the Tomes a second time. There was no CLUAing or Gatekeeper involved, and therefore I did not cheat this character. But, in the end, which character is fair?

Rataxes is spot-on about the hidden "+1 to primary stat" bonus.

Yeah, I'd usually sort of let this one slide. Similarly, I'd let a character roll stats for a monk, then modify the stats to simulate a BG run. It's not MY fault the game doesnt let me play one from the start [img]tongue.gif[/img]
