Is the Ranger Bonus decaying to fast? 01/13/2017 10:19 AM CST
I certainly think so. The ranger bonus decays far to fast. Is it -supposed- to decay this fast? Even with MON? See the (edited)log for more details but here's the setup.

I was at +2 bonus (after hanging in Black Goblins for >2 hours)
I cast MON@650 mana in a "stalking mountain cat" room
I went into town for 300 seconds
I lost a full bonus level

[Outer Hibarnhvidar, Market Road]
The impressive edifice of the outer city's Northwest Gate marks the end of Market Road. Travelers from distant destinations jostle against one another as they pass in and out of the gate, making way for a wagonload of timber in from the Paasvadh Forest. A wiry nomad from the distant Arid Steppes ignores all the distractions of the metropolis, striding purposefully into the city on his appointed task.

[Reliable Pawn and Dry Goods Emporium]
Tiny and dark, the shop is lit only by a smoke-darkened lantern hanging directly over the tall counter dividing the room. In front of the counter is only a bucket and an expanse of wood-planked floor, dirt-blackened in the corners but with a polished trail leading straight in from the doorway. Behind the counter are heaps and piles of used goods, some sorted and others simply stacked.
You also see Relf.

[Lewkar Awg, The Courtyard]
A small cobblestone courtyard serves travelers as a place for a short rest, offering a water trough for the animals and benches out of the wind for their riders. In the east and west walls are gates made of stout timbers strapped with brass. A few stone steps lead up to the door of the round tower in the center of the yard.

Han, I gotta say this...I just love your attraction and use of numbers attention to detail. Just reading your log was fun.
