forgot one thing why playing with pawns is waaay harder. every pawn less kinda heavily nerfs knockback voulnerability of enemies. i noticed this when i was low level dragonforging (you just create war between cursed dragon and prisoner... and watch, kill the remains).

solo - you knockback prisoner with simple body shots mixed with terrible bend... with 3 stars rusted bow:( and all you need around 15-20 arrows and 2-8 bends and he falls down. basically, if you set your self at the door and shoot at prisoner when he can't reach you, he is almost more down than on his legs. i wouldn't step so low as to use this tactic if i wasn't level 9 had no weapon except poison which could damage him and dragon didn't brought prisoner to 1 bar and i wanted to see if he'll drop me weapon or armor lv.2

with 3 pawns - gold forged dragon's ire and you're lucky if you knock him down once during all his life using exact same shooting. this time i only did this to test with level 50 or so. not even blast arrows helped much.
