Tough monsters

[mike3]

Hi.

Has anyone noticed this phenomenon in ADOM II/JADE before? I encountered a "hobgoblin warrior" that I just couldn't seem to kill, it seemed very very tough. It seems like kind of much to have such a low monster so tough... is this a problem?

Just reported this as a bug -- it seems they are almost all this way and doesn't make any sense.

Some of them are actually Large in size. Back in ADOM they were of the same standard size as pixies and wyrms, but here they get a large power boost compared to you, if you are a medium character. Large gnolls are equally Large, and about as powerful. Currently, this makes medium characters hard to play, small characters impossible to play, your best bet is to play a troll, but you will not get plenty of equipment for your size. This is why troll monks are the most played class at this time.

I think even if getting plenty of equipment was easy, monks would still be played. The disarm skill is awesome.
