Agreed. Related, if you make beasts that are a significant threat to soldiers in power armor, it’s difficult to set an encounter against them when the characters are out of their armor. This is why, if I were to ever seriously design a
Star Craft campaign, I’d alter the lore so that Marines in power armor are the exception rather than the rule (as this lets me scale the Zerg and Protoss, and even psionic humans, down to less superhuman levels).
Certainly agree with the rest of what you said as well - an indirect threat can be just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than a direct one, and without making humans into universal-junk-food-in-hard-to-open-containers.
