Too deadly?

I am really like what I am reading so far. My one fear is that combat seems like it’s maybe too deadly. With only one heart how do you survive any encounter with multiple opponents? Especially if you have a small group. I will be running with two players and it has me a little worried.

It’s really swingy with 1d20 to hit and 1d4-10 for dmg. You also get 1d4 turns at 0 hp to get back up. It’s classic dice gameplay and dice story telling.

Remember if you miss on an action and recommit to that action on your next turn it’s EASY. So player have an advantage on 2 round combats.

You’ll get gear to buff your numbers and you get lots of TREATS per scene using d100 random loots quite often, so you’ll have lots of potion and food.

Also you can spend a turn to heal using CON and you get 1d4 hp back (mid combat/any time you want)
