"Buffing way up with Shadowkeeper" does NOT make you a better player, as this thread attests. All it does is enable you to zip your way through low- and mid-level encounters so quickly that you can't learn anything from them....and are therefore left helpless against enemies that are somewhat challenging.

My advice is to lose the cheats and play honorably. Learn what Mind Flayers do and what tactics to use against them. One thing I'll tell you right out is to watch your Intelligence: Each time any type of Illithid scores a melee hit, it drains 5 points of INT from the target, for about 5 rounds or so. And, of course, if any of your stats reaches 0, you die.
