@dungeons Alright, listen up. We're against a Scorpion with 3 HP, armor class of 11, and it's a Challenge Rating of 0. This is small fry. With your Dagger, you've got a +4 to hit, so you're likely to land your attack.

Don't run. Don't even think about throwing your dagger either; we don't need disadvantage here. Our best bet is a straight-forward melee attack with your dagger. It's 1d4+2, so even at the worst, you're doing 3 damage. One good hit and this critter's [1/2]
