>Number bloat is nothing to brag about.
I do not think Stamina 200 for a level 1 solo is in any way egregious when that one monster is supposed to represent a standard-difficulty combat for four or five PCs. Damage in this game can really add up, especially when the characters are dogpiling a single enemy and making use of damage boosters (e.g. a tactician's mark, a conduit's Corruption's Curse).

For example, in the combat I mentioned in the opening post, the centerpiece opponent was a leader-type enemy with Stamina 120. That sounds like a lot, but the PCs eliminated all enemies by the end of the second round thanks to piling on the damage.

It is fine. Thank you for understanding.

That is one of the suggestions for how a GM might run the game. Me, I do not use that suggestion. I keep all Stamina values public and transparent; for example, if I say that enemy X has Stamina 120, then that enemy has Stamina 120, and only actual damage or healing dealt in-game will cause that to fluctuate.

That is how I run D&D 4e. That is how I run Path/Starfinder 2e. That is how I run ICON. It is also how I run Draw Steel!
