This isn't even necessarily just for bosses; it could be regular enemies in a distant cave or desert populated by dangerous trolls or giants or something.
Basically, I want certain enemies to fill the trope of being large, menacing, and powerful...where just one hit can devastate a squishy character, such as a mage or a thief or an assassin. However, the enemy is slow and unskilled, so the assassin can dodge his blows with ease; the thief can PROBABLY dodge most of his blows, but eventually one would connect and crush him; the mage (provided he doesn't use a spell to save his skin of course) would get destroyed in 1 or 2 hits.
I've been struggling with how to effectively implement something like this. The instinct is to give him the enemy very high attack, but a high miss chance. The problem with this is that the outcome of the battle is so dependent on RNG. I wouldn't want the skillful assassin to get destroyed because of a 5% or 10% lucky hit. But then if I make it so that he has 0% to hit the assassin; that boring and too easy for the assassin.
Hoping I can get some good discussion and ideas going about this.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
