== Monster stats, level, type and dungeon difficulty==
Basically the monster have a range of abilities and stats, and each type present a unique difficulty to the player. Also, the higher their level, the stronger they are.

=== Base stats and level ===
For every monster, two formulas to determine the base stats depending on the level. Then, depending on the monster type, modifiers are applied :
* for base hp, you use (n(n+6)-1), where n is the monsters level,
* for base attack, you use (n*(n+5))/2, where n is the monsters level.

The monsters base stat depending on the level are shown below :
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
|- style="background-color: #EEEEEE"
!Level
!Base Attack
!Base Health
|-
| 1 || 3 || 6
|-
| 2 || 7 || 15
|-
| 3 || 12 || 26
|-
| 4 || 18 || 39
|-
| 5 || 25 || 54
|-
| 6 || 33 || 71
|-
| 7 || 42 || 90
|-
| 8 || 52 || 111
|-
| 9 || 63 || 134
|-
| 10 || 75 || 159
|}

=== Monster type modifiers and traits ===
After these base stats have been calculated, modifiers and traits are applied. So each monster type present a unique difficulty to the player :
* Each monster type has an attack and hp modifiers, which indicates what percent of the base number provided below they have. For example, Bandits have 100% hp and 70% attack. Therefore a level 3 Bandit would do 8 damage and have 26 hp.
* They also receive [[Traits#Monster traits|traits]], which give them special abilities (such as {{t|Curse Bearer}} for the bandit, which will add one layer of{{t|Cursed}} to the player every time he gets hit by the Bandit, or when he kills it)

However, note that bosses don't follow the same progression as other monsters : they usually are stronger (better stats, and different traits) than what would a regular level 10 monster have.

=== Monster stats and dungeon level ===
The difficulty level of the dungeon you are in also affects monster stats :
* Monsters in easy dungeons have 90% of way they would normally have,
* monsters in Normal dungeons have their normal stats,
* monsters in hard dungeons have 120% of what they would normally have,
* and monsters in vicious dungeons have 133% of what they would normally have.

===Distribution and level===
Not counting bosses and special uniques, each dungeon contains 38 monsters, with the following level distribution
