You can see that in one his replies to me earlier in this thread. Having said that, I'd love it if some moderator would come in and tell us to stop talking about Wulf and get us talking about IL again.The heroes in Leiber and Howard's stories were not superheroes. They relied heavily on stealth and picking foes off quickly one at a time. This is because plowing into multiple opponents was a good way to get killed, particularly if they were armed with weapons that can strike at a distance. And on the occassions where they encountered monsters, they were fighting an uphill battle. Pitted against other men they were hell-on-wheels, but going toe-to-toe against something bigger, stronger, and more savage than themselves was a very bleak option.Then again, maybe Howard and Leiber's heroes were just very low level.</blockquote>
