youre allowed to use enough force to allow yourself to escape.
ie. they come in with a weapon, you feel your life is in danger. you can knock them over the head with a bat. you can not knock them 20more times as it's unjustified and will not be considered self defense.
self-defese is to allow you to escape, not to kill. now if you kill him with that single blow to the head, that's a whole other story.
if they're unarmed, itd be harder to justify the use of a weapon (which can be anything from a chair, to a knife)
