That's precisely an 'average, healthy real-world human.' You'll only get rejected from the forces (on physical grounds) if you're not healthy (so either a medical condition, or you're chronically unfit). So (in medical terms) you're not healthy. Guy in the gym fallacy strikes again. Your...

Apologies if you took it as an insult. For clarity, the 'you with a Strength score less than (body weight/30)' I was referring to is the 'you' in game (a PC, NPC or Creature who has an actual Strength score), not the actual poster I was quoting (I have no idea if Oofta can climb a rope or not...

Ive literally posted videos of 3 year girls in dresses reliably climbing ropes, and nerds in full Samurai armor, Chainmail or 10 kilos of level 4 armored plates in a plate carrier swimming, and we're still requiring Achillies to make Skill checks to do so. This isnt even the 'Guy at the gym'...

I've been in the Army, and no, most people dont fail. Most people climb them reliably every single time. You grab the rope. Lift your own bodyweight off the ground. Lock the rope between your feet in an S shape (where you can literally hang all day long, basically standing on the rope) and...

Literally every drafted soldier that's ever been in the US Army or Marines has been able to climb a rope reliably. It's not like they get halfway through the obstacle course and there is a sudden train wreck at the rope section.

No it doesnt: No it doesnt: Climbing a rope is something a relatively healthy (Str 10, Con 10) Commoner can do, with next to zero chance of failure.

Its the same when DMs ask for Ability checks to climb a rope. Something children (and military recruits) can routinely do. Something ANYONE who can lift their own bodyweight off the ground can routinely do. Unless you're a morbidly obese or heavily encumbered PC and have a low Strength score...

Google 'the Guy in the Gym' fallacy, because you're doing it right here. Humans are naturally boyant. We need weight on us to actually sink (and that can be counteracted by treading water in any event). That's the whole point of dive belts, which are adorned with lead weights. Seriously mate...

You have 18 hours total for that. I dont think its possible to build anything other than a bare bones story in 9 x 2 hour sessions, but best of luck to you if you can pull it off.

The issue with plate armor is not so much the weight, it's also the lack of mobility. The articulation isnt really designed for any swimming strokes other than breath stroke. For weight alone, it's long been established that you actually need to strap on around 10 percent of your bodyweight -...

Full Plate is a different story:

None. The above are normal guys (Commoners) and not Leveled PCs.

Feats largely sit in the middle of the spectrum or class features between 'ribbons' and 'potent class features' though. You're always happy to reach a level where you get one.

A feat is a level worth of class features (less a fractional increase in PB, and HP/ HD plus maybe slots).

It's fair if you gave the attacks Disadvantage. He was 'covered in leeches' after all. That's disadvantage for mine.

An attack roll does not represent exclusively a single (or multiple) swings/ thrusts/ shots. It might be described narratively as either representing a single thrust, or it might be described narratively as six seconds of (parries, dodges, thrusts, counter attacks, circling your opponent...

So do DMs in Monty Haul campaigns, tossing out magic items like candy. If you like your players, don't be afraid to challenge them, make life hard for their characters, and so forth. If my players get cursed, they get cursed. But you do you I guess mate.

It's a curse man. The DM takes over his PC when in monster form, and murders babies (and loved ones and friends) and stuff. That's how you run it.

Yeah but you've made more skills, so he's now worse at the things he's supposed to otherwise be good at. Previously a Fighter just needed Athletics. Now he needs 3 skills to do all that skill does.
