    Of course it's cheating. Selling something with 1 charge and then buying it back a few seconds later with 10 charges. Claiming it's not cheating is trying to justify it to your guilty conscience. ;)

    You might as well start the game wielding Crom Faeyr and justify it by saying that you'd get the warhammer sooner or later anyway so starting with it isn't really cheating.

    Check the name mate. It's not Foresthar or anything like that. :)

    I usually use copypaste in the case of more difficult names. Anyway, I go with reload when you're unable to resurrect them. Either because they're chunks or disintegrated, or because you have no resurrection ability on you. I'm not as much hardcore as actually interrupting my quest and going back to town to get a raise from a cleric. Then again, I don't think I've ever been placed in the situation.

    I always make sure I have some 10 scrolls minimum before I go anywhere, and they usually don't go to any less than 7-9 before the next time I can restock. Considering I also have the staffs/wands of course.

    I usually solo but if I have a party member with me temporarily it is for a quest related reason so I have to re-load if they die.

    @david w
    Of course its not cheating, as long as you sell the Rod to the right person. (ie, a person powerful enough to be able to actually justify recharging the item.) Surely a mage who sells you the entire list of level nine spells and items so rare only the most high level of Bards and gods could have heard about them can recharge the Rod. :rolleyes:
    There's a very thin line between being cheesy and cheating, and though most times these terms can be used to replace each other they can be as different as ground and air.

    One of the "tips" that Bioware gives you on the save/load screen is the sell-buy back thing. Obviously, the designers meant that to be there, so how is it cheating? Cheese maybe...

    Doesn't the load/save screen say "Don't try and sell an item with no charges. The shopkeep will think it does nothing."

    I don't remember any mention about exploiting the game engine to recharge items.
