[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9337998, member: 6801228"] You can call it "mansplaining" if you want, but in fact most of the people responding to me are claiming that my position is not logical. That one race out of 42, and two classes out of 12, and the few subclasses not explicitly stating "MAGIC!" means that everyone is limited to this specific view. That without the word "magic" or "humans are supernatural" written in the book that it is impossible to have those things happen. And you can love those characters, if you wanted me to pick a favorite character between Saitama (basically a god), Genos (Super-powered hyper cyborg), or Mumen Rider (Dude on Bicycle) I would pick Mumen Rider every single time. He is awesome and very inspirational. He isn't fighting and winning against any of the threats in the series. He isn't a high-level character. I'd limit him to being a level 2 or 3 character AT MOST. And here is the issue. Since you like Aragorn, Conan, Brienne of Tarth, and Logen Ninefingers... they must be the 20th level fighters of DnD. They can't be represented by lower level characters, because you like them, and you want to keep playing the game up to level 20, therefore, we MUST limit ALL fighters and rogues to fantasy from decades ago than what is being done in high fantasy media now. And it is intensely frustrating, because you could have your characters as lower level characters, but you want to somehow have Brienne of Tarth able to solo Adult dragons, while her own story never let her get anywhere close to that power level, and insist she never gets any more powerful than she was back then.
