Am I the only one absolutely stomping every fight? Feel like I've been on one constant powerspike
This will largely depend on A if you are playing by yourself or multiplayer, and B on your starting class. Consider a wizard can start off with as low as 7 HP, and potentially lower if they legit use con as a dump stat and lower it to like 8 or something. Same with Warlock really.
Also depends on stats, and where the player explores in early game (no spoilers please, still working through it).
I had a much easier time in multiplayer and as a fighter.
But I'm not asking about the level cap raise due to difficulty. I want the game to be difficult. I also want to be able to explore more of each classes abilities and get rewarded for stuff I do after level 4 as opposed to when level 4 hits, feeling like I am wasting my time.
