Hi guys. This is something I've noticed myself, and it's why I don't battle/errantry my
monsters much when they're young...

It seems to me, from experience, that in a battle, if my monster is full grown, it takes less
damage when hit than if it's adolescent or a child. It also seems to do less damage. I say this
meaning relatively. Here's what I mean:

Durahan, has 300 DEF and 300 POW. Now let's assume, that for some SCREWY reason, I'm not
building it's POW or DEF at all until it grows up. Taking the same attack, we'll use "Rush Slash,"
across the age lines, it seems that he does less damage the smaller he is, against the same
opponents (we'll pick on Oakleyman, since we all hate him):

Baby/Child: Damage 20+/-
Adolescent: Damage 30+/-
Adult: Damage 45+/-

He also seems to take more damage as a kid (damage from Oakleyman's "Straight" is a good
example)

Baby/Child: Damage90+/-
Adolescent: Damage65+/-
Adult: Damage 40+/-

Now, I haven't done -extensive- research on this at all, but I wonder if anyone else has
noticed this at all, as it seems to be a consistent trend... which is why I've migrated to making
my monsters only fight/errantry once each when adolescent and not at all when a baby. I
have noticed that age DOES directly affect ability on errantries, though, and babies frequently
fail, which may (or may not, ya never know) raise stress more than even normal stress boosts
on errantry.

Anyone else notice this too?
