i'd say it was luck too, as my highest character luck rating is 32.
i'm just about to head off to the alchemist lair and onto shaman (wondering if i'll hit 23rd level prior to act III???), and as you can see, i've already got 11 holy waters (to go along with the one perm int. potion).
i'm very hesitant to use them though as i'm already blasting through - and i've got 23 unused attribute points on DK and 25 unused on hero (along with lots of unused skills points).
you can also see that gold is NOT an issue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
no, no hacks used. just playing with what was given.
