Therefore they take massive damage, IMG a blow that inflicts 20 points of damage is a mighty blow that will kill normal men , but a true hero with a few levels under his belt will suck it up and survive....sure he has an arrow through his neck...but he is really tough so its no big deal.  I dont like the other way of explaining it ....mostly because it doesnt jive with alot of other little things in the game...if you only got winded and dodged most of the damage why the heck do you need a Heal spell that will get rid of any grievous wound.....But that is just me...I like my heroes and villains larger than life and I see no need to insert realism into a game with fireballs and dragons..</blockquote>
