I know that I have mentioned this, but it's worth mentioning again. "My alchemist" is good and effective in a party when
1) You play the game fast, i.e. you end the game around level 17-21.
2) You don't make your characters super powerful early in the game with certain methods (I called them "cheat", and now I see people upset, sorry about that)
3) Noone else in the party is using the powders/potions etc.
Remember that I don't diss the bishop in this kind of party. I feel that a bishop has it's role as a magic specialist, and the alchemist should do what I described in the beginning. I like to have both of them in the party. With my experience how my bishops usually develop, I really feel positive about what this alchemist can do later in the game.
About "cheat" again: I, like many others, draw the line at mixing potions. After that, you can make super characters at very early levels with certain methods (I called these methods "cheats"). It was the first word I could think of, and it seemed like a natural choice of word at the moment.
Was it the "waste my time" part? [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] I apologize, but you have to understand that I got a little annoyed when you said things like "...set a portal, or is that "cheat" for you too?", and the fact that you talked about the alchemist vs bishop outside the limits of where I described the alchemist. I am sure that a bishop wouldn't be as good as an alchemist if you want to develop it the way I want and follow the 3 points above. There are far too many skills to work on, and I know that, most of the times, more than 2 skills makes a non-expert character throughout the game (in fast games of course), and the bishop already has at least 2 skills to concentrate on (often 2½).

What ever happened to "play the game how you want to and have fun with it?

Have I been telling anyone differently? I don't think so. Everyone should play the game the way they want.
