Hate to be that guy, but I believe the word "logarithmically" is wrong to describe the growth of encounter power. Total encounter power is n^2 where n is a number of boblins. This is a quadratic expression, not logarithmic. Quadratic expression indeed grow faster than linear, while logarithmic are eventually outpaced by linear expressions. The growth speed (or derivative) of a logarithmic expression in inversely proportional to its arguments.

One thing that drives me nuts with this article: a value that increases proportionally to a square increases quadratically, not logarithmically. Logarithmic growth doesn't even have the runaway effect squared numbers do.
