I think this is pretty spot on. Last night, my intrepid adventurers dispatched the leader of an Elder Wilds Zorak Zorani "Basic Unit" - she had skills in the high 1mastery, or low 2mastery when augmented. Seemed about right to me in terms of skill level.
I found my notes from the First Age game that we playtested HWs on and Rastalulf, Erilindia and Lokamayadon were all mid-high 3mastery characters. I think the Dara Happan Emperor was mid-high 3 mastery as well.
The bigger problem for me is on the sample resistance numbers given in HW. I know I'm a big fan of "bitterly cold Dragon Pass winters" (although I did just run my adventurers trekking across the Rockwoods in winter - boy that was unpleasant), but 5M4?
