Bears are bad news indeed. By far the biggest threat to you once you leave candlekeep. Forget the assasins paid to target you, the bandits terrorising the region or the aggressive monsters who attack on sight, It's the docile bears minding their own business that trump them all, with experience value to match. Bears have vicious attack, but very low armour class and not too much health. Therefore if you can hit them quickly, they should go down before they get a chance to rip you to shreds. As they only turn aggressive when you get too close, this makes them easy to surround to try and do this. The more aggressive bears should be avoided by starting parties, as although they still have low armour, you'll be in for a nasty surprise when they have much more health and rip you to shreds when they attack you back!
