“The average squatter has no melee experience,”
But what about magic? Magic beats melee in the combat triangle.
what about crack, and fentanyl buffs.
Fentanyl is a debuff.
And people with melee experience are not bulletproof.
At a distance! This would be close quarter
Here me out, longbow is still melee range.
It actually doesn't matter as far as the combat triangle is concerned because melee armor has debuffs for magic defense and magic armor has buffs for melee defense IIRC
Also mages can freeze you and shit
If the squatter mage has been there long enough to count it as a chantry, then there's wards and no paradox, so the melee assailant is cooked.
