As to inspiration, I decided to do a solo Wizard and see if I could level him up to the point where he can go anywhere and do anything with impunity. I've done all but a couple of the council and promotion quests and am clearing outdoor areas to get everything important to master and add a few more points to Dark Magic before I start some serious Armageddoning. I'm not following any restrictive rules; I even did something I absolutely never do, which was to Armageddon Darkmoor to get to notorious so I could get Dark master. I figured - what kind of quality of life could you have with ghosts and skeletons wandering around your town all the time anyway?
