Trolls on the other hand, can feel free to explore the entire SMC at the start of the game, and leave by whichever exit they feel like.
Hell, trolls can fully explore the SMC, generate PC 6, save the carpenter, and THEN kill Kranach. Or even better,
Go straight to PC6, get the puppy as your first kill, then do the SMC, get blanket, go back to PC and level up a bit, and then kill Kranach.
I always thought that monsters are not created with twice your level, they are created with twice your experience points, so trolls and gnomes have the opposite situation in my interpretation.
Am I wrong?
I like my women like my ADOM loot - hunted as treasure and in extra quantity.
