sorry about 2 posts; i was about to go back to the game when i realized i had forgotten my Gnome. She starts as a Bishop, concentrating on Alchemy and whatever the Fairy is'nt, until she gets the best spells in both.(she ends up learning whatever the Fairy has when she gets the others over 75 anyway) Then she changes to Lord, adding yet more spells. The only change that the party notices is when the Rogue's level-based att/round stats change.
Now i'm starting to wonder how small a party i can get through W7!(the importing process doesn't allow dismissal)
