Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamesonCourage" data-source="post: 5892890" data-attributes="member: 6668292">Depends on a few things:Does being surprised mean that you lose THP? If so, he has level 1 Fighter HP, and is probably going to get messed up.Are the archers sufficiently spread out or protected (via cover or walls)? If so, he might only take 1-2 down per turn, while the others can whittle down his HP since he AC lowers with every shot.Does he not have 125 HP because the system is more scaled in? If so, he's a lot more likely to go down to them.On the other hand, maybe he does mop up. They're confident in a group, and not spread out. I mean, they've mowed down more than one wannabe "hero" before. Maybe he does rush in, and start cleaving his way through them, killing them before he gets "hit" (he only takes THP damage). I'm not opposed to that outcome, either. He's level 15, after all.But, some hesitation never hurt anything (if that's your goal). If HP is a problem, tone it down. That's Hussar's suggestion for healing surge renewal. Personally, I think a level 15 Fighter probably should win a straight fight with 12 level 1 archers unless he's very, very focused on offense (to the detriment of his defense), and even then he should have a good shot (from his high offense). Smart tactics, however, should be able to beat him (surprise, cover, men with tower shields in the way while they shoot from small light stools they can carry around, etc.).I'm admittedly basing a lot of this on "the math will be toned down" and I have assumed that it's included HP (a level 15 warrior in my game might have around 74 HP total, with a greater amount depending on how focused he is on it). If HP is the issue, though, just throw three lines in saying how HP scales slower (as in, the actual numbers). Problem solved. I just really reject the notion that the changes will take up 20 pages. Small-lined changes can go a long way.
