After a 6-week hiatus from playing the game (sorry, "Real Life" came knocking on my door, LOL), I'm going to start a new party in the game. What I'm planning to do is this:
1) Maximum of two upgrades ONLY for each character
2) Only ONE advanced role per character (in other words, a "Paladin" won't become a "Samurai"
3) The only way to move from an advanced role is to an elite role (Assassin, Valkyrie, or Zenmaster)
I'll see how I do. It'll be good to get back into the swing of the game again.
