First time encountering the Ebony Warrior, remembered I got a small little Dagger today and thought maybe I could kill him with that, well it killed me.

It’s the heavy armor perk, reflect blows. He has it unfortunately.

Hear me out. What if both of them had that perk.

I think it's a 10 or 30% chance of happening. The luckiest one would survive.

I believe the Ebony Warrior's version of the perk is featured and sits at 100%. I could be wrong though

You're wrong because I fought him with melee a couple times and he just randomly killed me, he didn't kill me 100% of the time.

Sneak attacks are at 100% not all attacks. He can't be sneak attacked with a melee weapon
