I've used GateKeeper twice now.
The first time was when Jahiera was cursed and the curse WOULD NOT go away after I finished the curse quest. Having her go around with stunted stats because of a game glitch sucked!

The second time was when I encountered the Shadow Dragon when trying to complete the Umar Hills main quest. It kicked my arse. Many, many times. I know, I didn't need to attack it, but it got to the point where I had to find out if it was AT ALL beatable. I put my Str to 25, gave myself 200+ HP, Grand mastery in Long Swords and AC -10.
It still took me several attempts. After I had killed it I loaded up my save game from before I adjusted everything and crept passed the dragon as you're supposed to.

I agree that playing the whole game with a mega-character would detract from it immensley.
