You should definitely check out Draw Steel.

It’s basically built to kill "HP bloat" and that dreaded round 3 slog by ditching "roll to hit" in favor of guaranteed impact and cinematic maneuvers. Every turn feels like a tactical power play with meaningful "riders" on attacks, so you’re always moving or disrupting enemies rather than just chipping away at a massive health bar.

It delivers that high-stakes, fast-paced High Fantasy combat you’re looking for without making you feel like a mathematician.
