The danger of punches at least correlates somewhat predictably with their power, but for sharp penetrators, it's much harder to know beforehand how dangerous they are. A dagger slash or arrow that will not even leave a bruise after being stopped by your leather coat might be lethal within 30 seconds if it hit just a couple of inches higher, severing an artery in the neck.

I suppose. But if I had armor? I'm not saying "punching and arrows are the same." I'm saying, "multiple attacks do not automatically discourage forward advancing into melee."
We know people walk into
gunfire - why does a few arrows coming from one guy seem like it's going to discourage anyone?
