It doesnt look like that the Vampire spawns in Firkaarg's Maze (AR1202) via SPWNVAMP.BCS are tougher in Hard Mode. At least less xp than the spawn <1.65M XP and no +3 weapons are required.

It was probably not included in the scope of the modification. I'll fix it.

A small cosmetic one: Right-clicking on the Conjure Clan Spirit ability says something about a Spirit Snake (see screenshot).

I didn't know you could do that in the EE. Quite a few abilities are probably missing their description in that manner. I'll see if I can find and fix some of them.

It was included, but i fail to see why the 2nd group is tougher than the first (no +3 weapons and less xp):

    XPLT(Player1,1650000)

    OR(2)
