The conning system is a little (okay ALot) off for certain creatures. Dvinn
is one. Dorn in North Ro is also a prime example. Kisdean Dix in West
Commons, Runygup (sp?) the troll in Toxulia forest, Corflunk and the
other ogre in Butcherblock. If they have a name, be very careful - they
probably don't con what they should. Keep in mind the color stands for what
experience you will get, not how difficult they are.
