Ah okay, I see. Yeah, I guess you do get quite a bit out of the grimoire, so the extra challenge with these monsters is worth it alone + the slower xp gain, too. Just feels a bit bad sometimes to get an overpowered monster worth like 16xp at the start, but hey, I guess it beats getting overleveled quickly and trivializing the game
Another question - does everything included work with the druid? Cause I want to play a druid/guru playthrough and am just wondering if the auras/elemental infusions and stuff would work? I guess int bonuses and stuff surely work anyway, but what about the rest?
