Some advice for those adventuring for whatever reason or about to enter a combat situation with randomely spawned NPCs. Unlike some other servers where AI is kinda lame and spawns are pre-set and often only vary in what level of spawns and classes appear for what players that trigger them, Thay is a different beast. Creatures spawn with very little homogeny, they can wield all sorts of weapons that may have hidden, nasty surprises. They may even have more attacks per round than they should, be immune to things they normally would'nt and in some cases you may find some real nasty things appearing when before they didnt. Its randomized and makes combat much more uncertain. I personally greatly appreciate this and it served me right when Sirien got knocked down and out for the count by a couple of goblins that had daze on hit weapons and immune to sneaks while I was more of a noob to this (he recovers alot.. tough ass elf).

My point: Do not go into an area thinking the grind will be systematic and clockwork. Be prepared for a nasty shock if you get cocky .. and enjoy the fact that its a small step closer to reality where looks do not always corrospond with capability.
