Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. And Have you also noticed that blue cons
are *A lot* tougher sometimes than others. Im at lvl8 Barbarian Shaman.
In blackburrow sometimes i take a blue con gnoll and lose maybe 1bubble of
hp, then other times i die from the same lvl con.
A friend of mine has come to the conclusion that you are weakest at point
right
before leveling and right after leveling. And that in the middle of a lvl
you are the
strongest. It makes sense, think about it. when do you die most often from
easy
cons? Right before you hit your lvl and right after you get it.
