[QUOTE="Derren, post: 5760595, member: 2518"] Yes, but even this "superman" couldn't continue to run after the thief after being shot. Lets be realistic, in D&D ranged weapons are vastly less powerful than equivalent weapons in the real world. First the range is reduced most of the time, second normally when you are hit by a (cross)bow or gun the fight is over for you. Even when you survive a musket ball, and miraceously keep all your limbs, you are bleeding so much that the fight is over for you (without magical healing,...). In D&D and many other "high fantasy" RPGs people can take dozens of arrows/bullets and still fight (or charge through a hail of bullets and never be hit once, depending on the way you narrate HP). On a open field in D&D it is pretty much impossible to prevent the melee fighters to close in on a ranged fighter as the range of them is very short and they simply can't kill the melee fighter before he reaches them.
