Usually.. as the GM.. you should've looked into the other editions.. knowing that people might want some stuff out of them... That is your own fault for not learning about them.. and in Sionnie's case..... It doesn't matter if he is the bandit leader or if he is a normal bandit... he is human.. or whatever race he is.. he doesn't have added health benefits... he still bleeds the same way the normal bandits do... he can still die the same way a normal bandit does... so your bandit leader being not like the other bandits is bullshit.... He dies just like the rest of the bandits... Sionnie's "Attempt" to kill the "Bandit leader" would work.. and he would be dead.... point blank end of story.

Then again, I as a DM have the right to say which edition will be involved in the campaign-- to which I have specified the Fifth Edition as it is the Edition that I have experience in. If you now decided that you don't want to be part of this campaign because it is only the Fifth edition, you should consider your membership in this RP.

Onto the Bandit Leader, each enemy has their own set of statistics inside the Monster Manual and the Internet. These are the stats that are being put against yours. Sure they might be a normal human, but their race does not dictate their deaths-- The statistic does. If you simply do not do enough damage to take an enemy down-- then you did not reduce their hitpoints down enough to 0.
