WEll Agility, there are *some* ppl who insist on boosting their char stats to 25, but that takes most of the challenge/fun out of the game IMO.

There are others who toggle in some gold to be able to afford better weaponry/healing potions. I like to think of this as 'conjuring'.

There are others yet who equip their party with better armor/weaponry than is typically available at the beginning of the game. Again, this *could*, if kept *within reason*, be thought of as 'conjuring'.

Now then, as you know, I have been guilty of the second two in BG. I also reload (tho not very often, actually, as if you're careful you don't die!). Do I consider it 'cheating'? Wellll, technically yes. Does it take the challenge out of the game? Not for me because I simply do not get carried away--if all that is available is leather armor (for example) then I 'conjure' studded leather or maybe (*gasp*) splint or if regular arrows, then arrows +2 (and, o/c bring in more arrows later which are 'bad'). I do not up stats to a crazy level--like Lemernis, I keep things to a reasonable/realistic level.

Now you all know my 'secrets'! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now get back to your schoolwork, Agility!
