Novice mage bug?

[miyazaki]

I am playing [V] 3.1.1 r1577 (i know it's not the latest) but novice mages are showing up as being native to level 2 when i am on level 2 but when i decend to level 5, they are showing as red OOD on the monster list and native to level 6 on the monster recall.

As a side note, Brodda isn't evil? My paladin can't detect him with maa.

There are actually two monsters called "Novice Mage" - one native to level 2, and one native to level 6. They are identical except that the second comes in groups.

Aaah. Does this happen for other monsters, too?

All of the various novice monsters, as well as carrion crawlers (and maybe other really deep ones that I don't know about).

Mumaks, Hellhounds, and everybody's favorite Dreads.

I can't wait for the complainer to appear in groups.

"The complainer wonders aloud about the wisdom of cloning himself."
"The complainer bemoans the recent overcrowding."
"The complainer complains about the constant complaints!"
You overhear the complainer complaining to the complainer about... " (x99)
You feel stupider. You feel less wise. You are paralyzed.

It would be a wonderful way to discourage town scumming, especially if The complainer(s) spawns. The complainer(s) starts moving faster.
