In the game: five young (untwinked) characters moving along toward Andariel, one new character and one clvl 47 Enchantress leveling in Act V and the Cow Level.
The Enchantress bestowed her aid upon the new character while in the Rogue Encampment and moved on to slay Cows.
The team of youngsters arrived at Andariel, prepared for a reasonable fight. They invited the new character to join them for the quest. And Andariel went down in one hit by the baby. Half of us didn't even SEE Andariel before she died. :blink:
In this case, it was certainly not intended that the Enchant would alter questing for the group. But lesson learned on the 'twinking' abilities of an Enchantress.
I now know that this could have been prevented by having the baby leave and re-enter the game, thus removing the Enchant. And, I will not fault those that do want this form of aid. Just because I prefer salads doesn't automatically make me denigrate those who prefer cheeseburgers on occasion. ;)
