    “The average squatter has no melee experience,”

    But what about magic? Magic beats melee in the combat triangle.

      Hm. This guy might have trouble against a higher-level homeless like Nanba-san.

        Fentanyl is a debuff.

      And people with melee experience are not bulletproof.

          No argument there. See: Legolas in any LOTR

        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.
