I find you can usually trust /con...

The big exceptions seem to be, it seems, dark elves!

Dorn, Dvinn, Kizdean Gix... all of them are just CRAZY for their /con
level. I remember when I first fought Dorn (don't remember my level),
he was a "blue risky" to me. I had a magician, same level as I, and her
pet with me. Usually, in a situation like that, I'd lose about 2
bubbles of health, and that's it.

We camped him for a while. In 5 fights, he knocked me out twice
(without killing me), and did the same to the magician once. He killed
3 pets. I never ended a fight with more than a bubble.
