There's also NPC morale, which must be taken into account for the sake of realism.
One archer, known for being a
good shot (with an actual game-mechancial bought-with-points or earned-in-play Reputation, to that effect, if necessary), versus half a dozen orcs. He goes "Freeze! The first to move closer dies. Drop your weapons and run away from me".
That's a very real test of whether the GM has a healthy attitude.
