I don't know about you but most Mongols I have seen tend to represent stereotypical strength over dex  if attributed to a D&D character. Most Mongols would be lucky to have a 12 dexterity as D&D NPC world population is in the 10-12 range for attributes. About average to very slightly above. 2)That tends to be the standard formation in large battles and even in a skirmish, the fastest direction from point A to point B is a straight line. 3) Not if that strike is against heavy armor or a shield.  It is especially not applicable to fantasy combat since fatigue is never taken into account4)Ranged attacks take you out of combat immediately. Melee attacks most often do not. There are verifiably accounts of people being stabbed over 20 times and surviving. No record I am aware of where someone has survived being a pin cushion. Most people died of infection and disease than actual melee combat. 5)You obviously don't know history too well. What do you say about Mongols, Samurai (who were known for being better horse archers than swordsman) or Native American Plains Indians who were amazing horse archers even though they only got metal arrowheads from European traders and had horses for only about 150 years at best since horses are not native to either North or South America.</blockquote>
