> I don't even think this is really breaking any rules, except maybe sharing knowledge, but who doesn't do that at least some of the time?

You specifically said you'd be doing this because your mage couldn't find anyone to level with, and so you would _log out_ that char and kill the people who wouldn't group with you. Then after your range looked better for the mage, you'd log back in as him. That, I think, is not only a total rules violation, but exceptionally lame. This is the same sort of thing that the Imperial/Sylvan/Rager/Master heroes take heat for (logging on when odds are good, logging off when odds are bad).

> My ap would know who hates magic and who doesn't because my mage asked around...that's about the extent of it.

My point wasn't knowledge. Your ap could know that from your hero rager who saw the application notes too. Some info is impossible NOT to 'share' between chars. But, if the guy asked 'why did you kill me' and you said 'because you hate magic' without ever talking to him, that's just bad, I think.

> This is basically the same thing as having a hero char in Arbiters and in Empire. Your Empire char benefits from the fact that a few hours earlier your arbiter char took the equation.

A few hours earlier? Sure. Fifteen minutes earlier? That's cheating. Especially if you log your Arbiter on simply to take the equation, then leave (which is what you imply your antipaladin would do, come on, destroy the 'magic haters' then leave).

> Now let's keep in mind that I'm actually not doing this, though I'm damn close to rolling the ap up as we speak as I still can't find a fucking person to rank with.

Roll up your ap. Enjoy dealing with the svirf warrior magic haters, the assassin magic haters, and any other things I missed that see invis anyways and will lay down the smack on your ap that doesn't get many of his 'good things' until 25th. You're still a cheater in my book if you do what you suggested in your original post.
