That might explain yesterdays death in a baal run (but not quite LOL I had
run into a boss pack clustering the stairs at the throne and all the little
punks bolted on me now down 19 million which takes at least 3 runs/million)
I was so pissed I removed LOD from the drive and loaded NWN avec expansions.
Today I might try and regain what I lost. Maybe your hitting massive amounts
of boss packs. I have noticed when playing with my partner that we hit a LOT
and I mean LOT of boss packs with just the two of us in a NM game. I been
thinking that's weird but it's all XP! LOL
