[QUOTE="Rachel, post: 5098235, member: 88033"] [B]@ROGER:[/B] Thanks for the great analysis! I don't have access to the Character Builder. :( Also, I hadn't begun to factor in all the possible stats that would go into a battle between my gnome and the orcs, simply the hit points involved. Your calculations shed some light on the subject, that's for sure. :) Naturally, you wouldn't want to take on that sort of Elite threat "solo" very often, as you said. But, I was thinking in terms of what would be the feasibility of doing so, because the gulf in hit points really made me wonder if a chance at doing so was even a possibility *at all*. And this could actually come into play. Examples: 1) Let's say a "duel" situation has been initiated, where both parties have agreed to send out their "champion" to fight each other, winner take all (w/e is being contested). -OR- 2) Myria and the Orc Chieftain are the only one's left standing, this is for all the marbles, and the orc baddie is not backing down. Such things could happen, and I couldn't help but feel PCs were "behind the eightball" in such circumstances. Lowering hp's a bit seemed like a good solution, but now I am looking at other things like healing surges, more magic items on the PC, and more PC powers that could also be a huge factor in "leveling the playing field". ;p [/QUOTE]
