But I can see why some are having trouble, and think there could be improvement. There is ONE change that would make it perfect. Leave it exactly the way it is, but have it apply to ALL. Being chased through the forest by 20 grey dwarves? Well if you manage your stamina better than them, no problem. Fighting something big with a high damage power attack? Go aggressive by hitting them to keep their stamina down so they can't use it.

Give them a stamina pool based on creature type and star level. Maybe even make them stronger/faster to keep it challenging. It's only fair!
