I'll note, I'm completely looking at this from the standpoint of melee professions, Barbarian, Knight, Swashbuckler. Probably Scout too if they've got a decent range between themselves and they all stand around shooting while not in cover...

Depending on build, Holy Warrior can take 4 62 point versions of a Holy Warrior, but it's tight because some HW abilities will be absolutely useless, while others will be strong but swingy. Probably the same with a Cleric, depending on build, as the 250er can much more easily heal himself during a fight, more spells, higher skill, but he's not much better at physically fighting than 4 Acolytes.

Wizard? I'm not even going to try to predict that, as the 250 point Wizard isn't much better in a non-magic fight than an Apprentice, and four opponent casters that synergize well, even with lower skills and weaker spells might pull of an easy victory.

For casters it really comes down to build.

Without the Denizens book, I don't think a Thief can handle four 62 point cut-throats at all.
