Sandman's difficulty patch is hilarious
Turns out, monster hp is one of the more prominent variables in how much exp those monsters gives you, so in addition to tons of hp, they give you tons of exp. You'll reach level 5 by the end of d:1, gain two levels of unarmed combat skill off one giant frog (really was something like 7.8 -> 9.1, but the message says it gains 2 levels), and of course this (spoilered large screenshot):
I had to kite the ogre back because it took so many hits to kill, ended up finding a teleport trap and made my stand before it, then leveled up and raised 3 skills at once
So I'm not really sure if this is easier or harder in the long run, but it certainly is interesting!
