Hard to kill at level 1?

If you want a classic experience remove it. It is a newbie killer, was added past Luclin. If you look on the old Allakhazam you will notice he is not there.

I noticed something else... the elven skeleton, as well as no "orc pawn" / "orc centurion" in gfay/crushbone have level variance as far as i can tell from npc_types (maxlevel isn't set) - is this correct? classic didn't have level variance?

Right, I've looked further into the problem of lvl 1 difficulty by parsing eqemu (NPCHitBonusChance=0), p1999, ragefire and vox (live)

I've only parsed actual incoming damage values and not dps, hope that doesn't skew the results too much.

		Hit rate		Avg dmg		Effective damage
Vox		72,00 %		3,833333333	2,76
Ragefire		70,00 %		2,028571429	1,42
p1999		88,00 %		1,181818182	1,04
eqemu		69,57 %		4,535714286	3,239130435

So eqemu has 3x higher dmg on mobs than ragefire and p1999. Only slightly more dmg than Vox - but on vox you don't get killed in 4 hits - must be the hp regen and player damage.

Any and all input appreciated.
