 Yes the basic spells like Fire powers and such get a bit out of hand but
then the oddball ones like the one spell ones tend to be level ended so I
think
they made a compromise on it.

 Yep....at least for the basic fighter types.  A MU is still in danger :)
Lost
Xian in that simple troll (almost lost him) combat...:)  Now he (err I) am
a bit more wiser and will let you guys handle things :)

 Yeah you noticed that too..Norse...Viking, even some American Indian...
Asian...I wonder where exactly they got the Great Apes and such from
I know Asia had a few myths about them but it seems rarely heavy for
a simple creature.

Yep.
