Given the 15th-level sample fighter has 120 hp, one with 200 is probably about 25th-level, or more. Consider this example, which you might recognize. Any similarity to real fictional characters is wholly intentional. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Two swashbucklers are engaged in a running duel. The first (let's call him "Indigo") has pursued the second (who we'll call "Baron Rungen") down a corridor, but unknown to Indigo, Baron Rungen took the rogue training feat and is waiting in ambush. Indigo charges into the room, and Rungen throws his dagger into Indigo's gut, getting a critical hit and doing max damage on his sneak attack. We'll assume Indigo is 7th-level with about 72 hp, so this bloodies him but he doesn't die. He does however, slump against the wall.Indigo: "Sorry father. I tried."Baron Rungen: "You must be that spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. Have you been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? That's the worst thing I've ever heard. How marvelous."[Indigo is bloodied but not dead. He uses his Second Wind, pulls out the knife and stands.]Rungen:  Good heavens. Are you still trying to win? [Indigo falls back against the wall.]  Rungen:You've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble someday. [Rungen draws his sword and lunges at Indigo who then forces the blade to his left shoulder. Again Rungen lunges at Indigo and the blade is deflected to Indigo's right arm. Now Indigo loses more hp, plunging him to -1 hp and dying. He falters.][Indigo rolls a 20 on his recovery action. He now has 18 hp. He's still bloodied, but very much alive.][Rungen swings his sword but Indigo blocks it and then begins advancing.] Indigo: [weakly] Hello. My name is Indigo Montalvo. You killed my father prepare to die. [Falling on a table, Indigo uses his Extra Second Wind. He now has 36 hp.][Rungen attacks and Indigo blocks four times before he continues to advance on Rungen.] Indigo Montalvo: [Louder] Hello. My name is Indigo Montalvo. You killed my father prepare to die. [Now Rungen attacks five times and Indigo blocks every single one.] Indigo Montalvo: [Shouting!] Hello. My name is Indigo Montalvo. You killed my father prepare to die. Baron Rungen: Stop saying that! And the fight continues. And ends with Rungen's death. Indigo's injury, while seemingly deadly at first, doesn't, in the end, seem that bad.How is that NOT what we're trying to duplicate?</blockquote>
