I think the shield skill is worth having for characters like the Bard, gadgeteer and Priest or Bishop. In my current party my Gadgeteer uses a shield and her shield skill is not that high (only 3 points in it actually) but I have noticed a lot of enemies hit her shield and do no damage. This is actually the first time I've experienced this, I usually have everyone dual wielding for the extra damage the second weapon does, but for non melee'ers or those who spend a majority of time at ranged attacking, I think I'll start using the shield lol
As others mentioned, to train the gadgeteer's engineering have her use her gadgets in combat. I'm not sure if the skill goes up when she uses gadgets outside of combat? There is one gadget you will get in the upper monastery, have her use that a couple of times during each combat and you will start to see the engineering skill steadily go up.
At a certain point in the game the pond will produce something and give you a large amount of XP's. You will know when the time comes when you get to that part in the game. If you want to be spoiled on this, post back and I'll tell you about it.
The android RFS is a really great martial arts melee'er or staff & wand or polearm works really well with him as well. especially once he gains a few levels. He is the only RPC I have tagging along with me now. Also he has almost 100% immunity to mental attacks. I say almost because he has been driven insane on me a few times lol
A character can only set a portal to one place at a time, but you can change the place they have their portal set any time you wish. I have 4 characters in my party at the moment with portal spell, so I can set a portal to 4 different places. Hope that makes sense? lol
