Nope, was heading to Bottleneck, and accidentally stumbled upon him, so I attacked him so he wouldnt log, he shot back and ran, takes over 100 arrows to kill me.

HP is not a measure of wounds received, it represents more, the overall combat fatigue that your body withstands, Dodging without receiving hp damage would be an effortless dodge, a hit that damages you but not by much would be similar to a dodge that exhausts you.

Have the devs said that? Or is this your flimsy argument to justify that many arrows?

That is the flimsy argument presented by the inventors of the HP system. It is the only way that the HP system, as a whole, makes any sense.

Point for you! :)

Personally I've always thought that a move towards a Dwarf Fortress style damage system would be nice. But that's probably just my personal biases showing.

I second that, as I'd love to play as a blind marksman.
