So, yeah, that other kind is good too, I guess.

Well, the "badassedry" in my opinion comes from the fact that your player can do it in the first place. He's good enough to know that a certain combination of events combined with his skill lets him do something nutso and pull it off.

Just because you're exploiting your enemies faults and taking advantage of the environment doesn't make you less of a powerful fighter.

Because it's pointless to do so.

Why would I sweep kick a sleeping enemy rather then just slit his throat?

And in effect he "can" through the stunt system on 42. It's just not the "perfect" opportunity the real power is.

In the end there are imo just 2 options of how to deal with them. 1. Explain all fighter abilities with magic and 2. Don't think about it (not usable when you want to think while playing D&D though)

Whatever floats your boat/ works for you man.
