HIya Dragonrider! Well its evening now and I am wondering what you decided to do? I certainly wouldn't do what Ryanamur suggested, unless I saved first and just wanted to try it out - not that it is not a good idea, I just wouldn't like to reset and do over.
I would just wander around with the hardest settings on and level up the Warlock and keep a close watch for books in the magic shop.
You can always change him to Barbarian later to increase warrior skills and the Ranger gets some added spells too.
No offense to you Ryanamur,
it just isn't what I would do, but that's just me! One of the best things about WW is there are so many choices, as to what one will decide to do is up to the individual. Cool game, isn't it?
Peace!
