<Solid metal man size would weight a lot, even with lighter metals, most
likely 7.5 times a similar sized man, 2 to 20 times is possible but
unlikely. But worse even weapons would not fair well if physics is used,
especially if similar 'hardness'. And yes fists can only do so much in
real life. Though exceptions exist if you can approach the speed of
sound, then the air cushion can do the damage and add protection at
the same time. That is how a bladed whip can cut plate armor for example.

There are other tricks like impulses that can increase damage at
lower risks, but all have their problems.... So judo is better for
hand to hand, smash it against ground not fists etc. But thats martial
arts, so poor Raban has a bit less for options? So maybe he can just
immobilize it in a strength contest? >

[Raban follows the ladies inside, unconcerned until he hears mention
of a Man, but still not too worried as He seems to have invited us in.
Of course that does not mean you can trust your host, just that things
will start out a bit more civilized.]

<Position near enough to protect the ladies if needed and watch the
potential enemies.>
[Smiling quite friendly, Raban thanks his host with a short bow..
Raban (in Xianese) "Thank you for your gracious invitation to enter
your fine abode during this bout of foul weather." <Should be more
'pretty' but cant quite think of what to say. Language choice was
for most fluent, since at the moment no language that works is known>


<You need a UPS with surge for phone or LAN. Then small power outages
are no problem.>
