>>5833332I believe, funny enough, Pitbulls actually have a thicker top skull than wolves as well, on account of their breeding as bull baiters. Unlike wolves, who normally have no reason to require a thicker skull in that area because they're unlikely to be struck with blunt force there, Pitbulls well might.
>>5833341What kind of sword? Hopefully something large that can be leveraged.
I don't think hacking at a bear with a sword would do it much meaningful harm either. They have thick fur, and thick skin. Only stabbing would be likely to do anything meaningful. Half-swording something large and giving it a good jab might be useful. The plate armor is nice in that the bear can't snag your flesh, but a good swat could probably still debilitate you. I would be surprised if a bear couldn't hit you hard enough in the head through a plate helmet to kill you.
Whether or not it could eat you afterwards is another question.
>>5833349Despite my comments in the thread, I don't want there to be any question as to whether I think a wolf could kill me. I think it's a very distinct possibility. A situation like that doesn't often go as you want, and it could go ugly very fast. I just think that all things being equal, life or death, the odds are in my favour. Severe injury is expected in all but the best scenario.
