Do you "Biotech" your stats ingame when you gain levels(like save before if you don't get "good stats" you quit and try again?

Each and everytime anyone gains even 1 level, no matter how badly I'm doing.

When I can time it, If i'm hacking away for a LONG time or cast alot of spells and it would take along time to do so again then no.

Only moderately, if i'm bored or if I notice some stats that havn't gone up in a long while.

VERY RARELY, feels almost as bad as using an editor to beef up your characters.

pretty simple really, Before you gain a Level, you save, you gain level check your stats if your not pleased you quit, load game and start over.

I use to do it all the time, now i just do it alot. I quit normally when each character in the party gets abotu adept in all 4 class's.

I'm not entirely sure what is the best course of action for doing this but,

for fighting you shoudl be able to get +2 str +1 dex and a few more + in the Main stats, I don't worry about the mana, health and stamina

ninja i tihnk Reverse STr and Dex.

Keep an eye on Vitality thou, that rarely goes up. Esp if your gaining priest and wizard levels.

It's just too much of an effort. I was curious some times about how the maximum and minimum gains for each level were depending on how strong you already are but as far as I know there's no table for that... and it's quite boring having to save all the time so you end up with a save game just before climbing another level and re-loading multiple times to get good values. It spoils the dungeon ambience for me so never tried it.
