My fully armored adventurer had his lower left arm bitten straight off on the lions first attack

Despite having relitivly minor bleeding and being alot less important than my right arm I was then killed on the lions second turn. How strong are these things supposed to be? --[[Special:Contributions/84.13.142.248|84.13.142.248]] 23:10, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

:Combat has ''a lot'' of randomizers in it. It's mathematically possible for a kitten to one-shot a dragon. With thousands of users each having dozens of games with hundreds of combats each with scores of attacks - weird things will happen, just expect them. <br />

:That said, one of the biggest ''constants'' in combat and damage is size vs. size. So if and when a size 8 lion succeeds in biting a size 6 dwarf, and then is lucky enough to bypass any armour - yeah, bad things will happen, just that simple. (On the plus side, this is how an untrained dwarf can wrestle a fire imp (size 3) and win about 98 times out of 100.) And bleeding aside, a bad injury can stun a dwarf - and that's not good for defense either.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:38, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
