it only becomes "cheating" if you brag about your game and neglect to say that you edited the party.I use MM8CHE all the time and make up some really fun parties on occasion. I think I'll make an all dragon party also since you mentioned it. I haven;t played one of those in a long time.
One of my favorites is an all girl pure peasant foursome . . start with no money, no food, no skills, no armor or weapons, and all stats (including level) are zero. I beat that game without further editing (had to edit the party to start to get rid of their inventories, stats, and skills) in 3 yrs, 6 months.
game time and used my dead party=game over rule (didn't need to apply it though).
The only exception to the "no skills" rule was racial skills for the Vampire and Dark Elf as there is no way they can get those (as well as the level 1 spell that hoes with it) except at creation.
