worth doing as it trains your character up for harder things, which
is a great addition to the game, though frank has also includedd a
character editer to create and preset your own character stats and
several pre installed characters if you just want to play the
adventures and aren't interested in building your character up
from scratch, though to me, I love seeing my character get stronger
over time and thinking that the ggold wil actually help me improve,
so I have only used the character editer for purpose of creating
strong enough chars to beta test tougher adventures.
