Berrod and Example Ample the Lalafell face off in Otto's fighting ring. Both are wearing hempen shorts, fighting bareknuckled. Berrod moves to deliver a low lick from his left, lots of power. Example Ample tries to stop it. Does he:
1) Catch Berrod's leg in both hands and somehow remain firmly planted on the floor while absorbing the force of the blow?
2) Catch Berrod's leg in both hands and ends up being yanked off the floor while still holding on to Berrod's leg?
3) Block Berrod's kick with a guard and remain firmly planted on the floor after absorbing the brunt of the blow?
4) Go flying despite the guard?

A few exhanges later, Berrod ends up in an unfortunate position where the Example Ample can take a clear, unarmed shot at his jaw. Example fires his fist and it connects! Does it:
1) Hit Berrod so hard that he goes toppling over, gets a broken jaw and is knocked out?
2) Hit Berrod hard enough to damage and daze him, but not enough to knock him down for the count?
3) Provide only a glancing blow that is little more than an annoyance to the larger, sturdier brawler?
4) Hurt Example Ample more than it does Berrod? His face is hard!
Which of the outcomes do you guys think are more likely, and why?
Example 1)
I would want to say 2 or 4. If we're to assume gravity works similarly in this world, the kick of a buff Highlander likely has more force than whatever a Lalafell could weigh. Even more so if it's a Highlander that actively is working out and training. Unless that Lala's gone to sumo practice or something, gravity would get in the way of defense.Â
Example 2)
2 or 3, although 1 and 4 could be possible -and hilarious- It'd come down to how coordinated the hit was and Example's skill at throwing a hit. Anyone with kids knows a five year old can hit pretty hard during a temper tantrum. If it aligned well -or didn't-, would make the difference between a good hit and a bad hit.
