A level 6 expert armed only with a dagger has a reasonable chance to beat one in battle by virtue of having three-four times as many HP's and a similar total attack bonus. Spend the Expert's two extra Feats on something combat relevant and it might be a cakewalk. <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=";)" />I don't think it's necessarily wrong in general that ballerinas should be able to beat up goblin warriors, but if that's not what I want for a particular npc than it isn't so. How I get there really shouldn't matter much. Is that so wrong?You are taking a narrow view of things. Death can be very relavant to the story. What if her death is just one of many possible intended plot branches I have in mind? Sometimes I like to give the PCs a chance to do something, but only a very slim one. So if they pull it off, good for them, but if not then that's the direction the story goes.</blockquote>
