Right not I'm about to try the final fight for the first act, and I'd really like my characters to advance one more level before that. My options are:
- kill a bunch of characters that are technically my enemies by I don't want to kill them for roleplaying reasons
- have a fight with an "optional" boss that I could also auto-defeat with a quest item, except then I wouldn't t get the XP
The boss isn't really optional because I need all the XP I can get, or else.
