D&D 5E The Magical Martial

[Minigiant]

Being able to fight something insanely powerful and supernatural doesn’t require one to be supernatural.

I agree

BUT​

If you aren't supernatural, the game either requires additional rules or does not use real world physics or biology
That's the core issue.

"I want Real Earth mundane martial to level 20" and "I don't want additional rules" cannot exist together.

or just a human fighter. What’s the devil doing that requires anything more?

Being 20 feet tall.

Why is being 20ft tall a problem?

different can still mean 99.999999% the same.

Sure.. that would mean that it is 99.999999% not fantasy.

If that is the experience you expect, the book with a mythical beast in the title, a giant on the cover, and 90 pages of magic spells in the rules is a weird place to go looking.

That’s not how that works.. lol

0.000001% still makes the whole 100% fantasy.

A 5 foot human can't reach their vital organs with a dagger.

Given the number of things fantasy books and movies don't generally feel they have to explain to us ( do people breathe? air? is there gravity? do people eat? are they burned by fire? do they float? do people weigh more than a bowling ball and less than an elephant? etc.....) that feels truthful to me.

Do you think Low Fantasy and High Fantasy as descriptors has happened by accident?

Do you think they are equivalent?

How do they?
Explain.

Explain.

Climb up its leg and hack out enough of a hole to get to the heart.

Use some imagination man!
