[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7716650, member: 23751"] Orcs are not level 1 in 4e. As a level 3 monster they do 1d12+3 damage. A 3rd level fighter will have much more than that, so orcs become even less of a threat one on one. They have 46 hit points and since I never really played 4e, I have no idea what a 3rd level fighter can dish out. In 5e an orc has 15 hit points and does a d12+3. Not sure what a first level fighter can dish out in 5e, but hit points wise the fighter can be taken down with one hit at level 1, even if the fighter has a 20 con. As [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] pointed out, the stat block of 3e shows 2d4+4, but doesn't take into account the combat section which says that they are proficient with greataxes and shows them using a greataxe. The falchion is not all they use. My error was that I thought it was greatsword, not greataxe, so the damage wasn't 2d6+3, it was 1d12+4(I also was in a hurry and got the two handed damage wrong).
