The monster tables as they stand are dangerously misleading.  They specify the spells the monster will know at its lowest level, when they should really specify the spells a monster knows at its ''highest'' level, floor(baselevel * 1.5), since monsters can be generated anywhere up to that level.  For instance, you might get the impression from reading the chart that a Titan can never cast Touch of Death, when in fact a sufficiently-level titan CAN. --[[User:Darth l33t|Darth l33t]] 18:42, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Monster tables

The monster tables as they stand are dangerously misleading. They specify the spells the monster will know at its lowest level, when they should really specify the spells a monster knows at its highest level, floor(baselevel * 1.5), since monsters can be generated anywhere up to that level. For instance, you might get the impression from reading the chart that a Titan can never cast Touch of Death, when in fact a sufficiently-level titan CAN. --Darth l33t 18:42, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
