I totally agree, think you should play the way you want, I think Kalk got a little bitchy when I commented on what I see are weaknesses in his build. Doesn't have to be the ultimate character, but there are some problems I see with his reasoning - but if he enjoys this type of character then that's all that matters. I am dissapointed though that he's making personal attacks, but oh well.

I think for the benefit of other people reading this thread though who want to have their characters/parties made to be more efficient and powerful there should be other view points brought up like mine.

I personally like to play for a long time with one party and train them as much as possible to be as good as they can be, to work and develop alot of skills per character. I'm in no rush to finish and have no need for characters who have only a few skills and max out faster.

I also think it's unfair to characterize any method available in the game to help your skills as "cheating", eg, casting knock-knock, or training with a monster that you heal to build stealth for example. I mean Kalk is basically telling you to "cheat" with Alchemists by mixing potions over and over again for unlimited $$, so "cheating" is in the eye of the beholder. Again though this is all personal preference - when I see ways to help my characters improve, I use them; to me only using an editor is cheating.
