>>6160876Heroic LM = capable combatants; at least one weapon and armor proficiency, and larger hitpoint pool than civvies. May have lesser Skills. Orcs without leadership or specialization count; see Toady's grand entrance into the Orc Settlements. Level 1-3 Adventurers go here.
Higher Heroic LM: Usually monstrous combatants and higher level Heroes; opponents with even bigger HP caps, environmental passive advantage, AND worthwhile Skills. Level 4-7 Adventurers in Parties go here; anything after level 8+ counts even on solo.
The Green Cloaks that put down Toady were generated based on levels 7, 7, 8. The difference in damage and armor can be attributed to gear.
Toady is still not capable of taking on a coordinated Party face-on. Lesson learned.
