Is it low fantasy when a Hero can be overwhelmed by 10 mercenaries?

No, that's just realism.
Low fantasy is when things don't have a lot of magical bullshit in them.
John Hughes
Realism would be hero overwhelmed by two mercenaries
Aaron Perry
Well technically he didn't say it was the minimum
Daniel Price
depends on the level of skill and the type of equipment
a well trained and armored knight versus two poor mercenaries seems like it'd end up in favor of the knight even with full realism
if its knight + horse it would even be highly unrealistic for the mercenaries to pose a serious threat
Henry Baker
No, because those mercs could just be as fantastic as the hero.

Depends on:
>tranining on both sides
>equipment on both sides
>ambush or fair fight
Etcetera

Low fantasy: 80-100% melee, 0-20% magic, with small deviations in percentages.
And even one mercenary overwhelming can be perfectly fine if it was smart about it. 1v1? Sure the hero would win. Merc set up a cloths line while hero is full gallop on mount? Different story. Heros should be great because of what they do and not their plot armor.

Why are you asking this question? Are you asking for a definition of "low fantasy," because that's a weird and stupid way to do it.
Are you just trying to start an argument? Because that's the only motivation I can imagine for asking about an ill-defined term in such a fuzzy way.
So, you're either stupid or malicious or both. Please drink bleach.
