From a player standpoint, Hugh does a 'mysterious' disappearance of a higher
power level NPC sometimes so he can make a new low level NPC to fill out the
battle group ranks (NPC ID#s are limited).  But, from the game standpoint,
some of these disappearances really are 'mysteriously disappear....'

Mostly from adventure sites.  Sometimes a few will appear in newsletters.

More action points, better damage at times (example: versus someone who is
berserk), can sense attacks from side or back better.  Quickness is very
noticeable as Vanya has almost level 5 combat sense and she's also devoted
to Kellen.

Parry with left, better attack percentage than the normal percentage with
your right hand weapon.  Of course, you have to parry that blow first. :)
