Following that sidenote... what I found most frustrating was that the
higher level we got, the weaker we were (relative to the stuff we were
fighting).  As a level one newbiemonk I was an indestructable hero -
soundly stomping creatures that were my equal, or even (according to /con)
my betters.  By level 38 or so, I was running (and jumping and running and
jumping) from /con="Looks like a total a wimp, but I bet it will kick your
butt" mobs.

I understand, I think, the goal there was to make leveling slower/harder
the higher level you were, but it was still irritating to me as a player.
