[Zateel]

I too used the cheats. I was playing a ranger/theif/wizard and wasn't happy with it. I decided a little into chapter two to switch to a Paladin/Fighter/Cleric. The cheats enabled me to give back my level and gold without going through the long process of repeating the chapter. In mt zeal to see all the dialog options (and get better skills) I cheated my intelligence upwards. However I did not realize about the game enforcing legal characters until I arrived at Chapter 3. So... I did Chapter two twice, and just finished with a legal (except giving myself levels I earned the first time through and some gold ) character. Thanks for the info, I'm sure it will be put to good use during future outings with different characters.

On a side note, selective and careful use of cheats has never deterred from my role-playing experience. After all, this character is exceptional enough to save the world! Usually, people who cannot control themselves are the ones who spoil themselves with the ability to "augment" their characters.
