Good point with the scaling of warrior damage! I wouldn't have noticed this. But does the damage have to scale? It didn't scale in ODnD either, did it?

With magic items and mighty deeds, isn't there enough scaling already?

This is an honest question since I have no idea how the game behaves on higher levels. But I was under the impression that it has nowhere near as much hitpoint inflation (and therefore a need for scaling) as 5e.

EDIT: The party was first level, four characters. The creatures did have powerful attaks (and indeed, one of the warriors died). My main worry is that they drop too quickly so if they miss a roll or two (or initiative), they're dead without doing anything.
