But a level -1 creature is much more of a threat to a level 1 PC than, say, a level 5 creature is to a level 7 PC. That's partially because level 0 and level -1 creatures are designed to have about the same attack bonus and AC as a level 1 creature, but fewer hit points and dealing less damage per hit, and partially because level 1 PCs have no reserves. They don't have any potions or scrolls for emergencies, they don't have any lower-level fallback spells, and a crit from a same-level foe may very well KO them even from full hit points.And after a fight, their medic is likely to have Medicine +5 or +6 or so, so they only have a 55-60% chance of succeeding at Treat Wounds on a single PC. On a failure they have to wait a full hour before trying again on the same target.</blockquote>
