Monster level up patch

As others have said, this can be done really well to good effect, but you'll have to do some very hard looking at each stat, because they do scale differently.

On my very old, never finished hack, I intended to have (well, actually I did implement...) 3 levels of difficulty selectable from an event just before the opening sequence. The difficulty mode would essentially select one of 3 sets of monster stats, with (for instance) HP being doubled for regular enemies, and 10 times for bosses.

If you get a good idea of what formulas work on each stat, then it could be just a minor tweak to implement a similar difficulty setting to scale the different curves.

EDIT: (just read B-Run's comment above) I actually did have monsters check the difficulty level which was an event bit, (and also the current map) for some of their scripts. So you get fairly different experiences when you meet them on the Veldt as opposed to the original location. I believe that tweak made it into Pandora's Box also, now that I think back. I should disassemble it and see what all is done in the AI area.
