<blockquote data-quote="Truename" data-source="post: 5000249" data-attributes="member: 78255">Sounds interesting. Tomorrow's game night for me so I won't be working on the sim, but I'll try putting it into my sim later in the week.As sfedi mentioned, my sim is more accurate (for now)--mine includes action points, which allows the dwarf to one-shot the soldier during most first fights. He only dies 2.8% of the time in the first fight against a level 1 soldier. When facing the level 2 soldier, he dies 9.4% of the time.Dwarf Fighter vs. Soldier[sblock=Combatants][code]Dwarf Fighter:&nbsp; Stats: HP 27; AC 17; Surges 10; Action Points 1&nbsp; Initiative Bonus: +2&nbsp;

[QUOTE="Truename, post: 5000249, member: 78255"] Sounds interesting. Tomorrow's game night for me so I won't be working on the sim, but I'll try putting it into my sim later in the week. As sfedi mentioned, my sim is more accurate (for now)--mine includes action points, which allows the dwarf to one-shot the soldier during most first fights. He only dies 2.8% of the time in the first fight against a level 1 soldier. When facing the level 2 soldier, he dies 9.4% of the time.
