Can you beat them?
Dial in your own weapon and gear. Every connecting swing deals weapon + attribute minus the matching protection - an exact figure, verified against live in-game combat - so both sides show their true per-hit damage.
Every connecting swing deals weapon damage + attribute (Strength for melee, Dexterity for ranged) minus the matching protection, never below 1 - verified hit-for-hit against live combat. On top of that baseline: a charged heavy strike doubles the net hit, a fully drawn bow lands about a quarter higher, blocked swings drop to 1, and individual swings in an attack chain vary by attack type.
All stats shown are the Gothic baseline. Difficulty rescales enemies per archetype: on Hard they swing with half again the attributes and carry 20% more health; on Novice their protections drop. The numbers above already apply the selected difficulty.

Hmm ... all right. I swore to never attack anyone again, but teaching someone is different.
Hmm ... all right. I swore to never attack anyone again, but teaching someone is different. I WILL take on the Ricelord. If you help me. I'm listening.
Hm. Say I could - what would you use your strength for?
Hm. Say I could - what would you use your strength for? Can you teach me to get stronger?
And before you know it, you have another bastard on your hands. No ... I won't teach you.
And before you know it, you have another bastard on your hands. No ... I won't teach you. To make sure the bastards here respect me.
The best self defense is runnin' away. Crackin' skulls won't make you any happier.

Hmm ... you wouldn't be the first to try that.
Hmm ... you wouldn't be the first to try that. To take on the Rice Lord and his goons.
Sure. And remember: use this for a just cause. And ONLY for that.
Sure. And remember: use this for a just cause. And ONLY for that. That was useful. Thanks.
I'm not going to. Unless you came up with a better reason?
I'm not going to. Unless you came up with a better reason? About you teaching me ...
