See, but here is the problem. Because humans are not supernatural, if the human happens to pick the class of fighter or rogue, we are not allowed to give them abilities that are "not possible" for humans to accomplish IRL. Point in fact, no one has really ever talked about the faceless...

Yeah, it has been so easy for me to come up with ideas, that you didn't even realize I had done so, and you hadn't even read the idea I've talked about the most.

- Since when? Oh, once or twice. I also said I was happy with these:

Yes, we have TRIED. There was even a few good suggestions not too long ago. One guess what keeps happening.

I am very much aware. And I would be willing to be "fair" about it, except there is no meeting in the middle, no compromise. Instead, every time anything is proposed, he demands the same thing over and over again. And even if given it, a few pages later, he is doing the same thing, or something...

Great we've heard you. We've known what you want for OVER A HUNDRED PAGES. None of us want to sit here and rewrite the PHB for you. Your opinion is known, written in stone, and three years from now I will probably still be able to tell people what Micah Sweet wants from a fighter ability that...

Funny, because plenty of other fantasy shows us other standards. And that standard is "more than human" but when it comes to DnD, you insist that it must be the human standard and nothing else, despite 41 other options. Because for you humans are the default. For you they must be earth humans...

And you are wrong, because plenty of Fantasy does EXACTLY that. So, you are demanding that your explanation that you like is front and center and forced on everyone, and cannot accept that we could be vague and let everyone's explanation be okay. Because it isn't good enough for you, and you...

To me, a distinction without a purpose. We don't say that Elves are no longer elves because they are adventurers, or that goblins are no longer goblins because they are adventurers. And if we start saying that anyone with class levels, feats, class abilities, monster statblocks... are...

Okay. Can we explain anything beyond centaur ability? What about beyond Anthropomorphic Hippo ability? Why is it that EVERYTHING is limited to human ability? Heck, Ogres are limited to human ability, they are only a measly 19 strength, that isn't even stronger than a human.

Goody goody gumdrops for you. Where does a Paladin's power come from? You will DEMAND it must be a god, the paladin must be empowered by a divine being. Nothing else makes sense to you, because otherwise, how can they do things humans cannot do? Me? A paladin's power comes from the...

THIS! Literally, this has been my position this entire time. I don't care about the justification, because I change it per character. I just wanted to get the abilities figured out.

I have literally always said I don't care. Yet you have NEVER dropped this line of discussion, you ALWAYS go right back to it.

So, an 18 strength doesn't make you any stronger than a 10 strength, because it is all too abstracted to explain anything

ROFLOL... oh wait, you are serious? If it exists I should be able to find it quickly? Okay, just because I am morbidly curious, how do you propose I search multiple dozens of multi-hour videos for a single event "quickly"? Read every wiki for every live play that exists? Here, let me give...

Me: "I want a fighter to be able to shatter stone with a punch" You: "But wait! They can't do that, humans aren't that strong." Me: "Okay, fine, humans are supernatural and can do that." You: "But Wait! They aren't! None of the rules say that, show me in the rules where is says that or you...

So, the only possible answer is that nearly nothing in DnD is superhumanly strong. Some giants won't qualify as of 2024. It cannot possibly be that the lifting and carrying rules were abstracted to be too low, in light of all the other evidence.

Yeah. Swapping Dex for jumping ability helps, I also think I would allow them to essentially "double jump" like if they lept 20 ft, landed briefly on a pole, then lept off the other 20 ft. Which doesn't really help, but I could see them being much more "perfect balance" to make it work where...

Humans can study math, and throw fire from their hands. That is supernatural. Humans can study martial arts, and teleport through shadows, that is supernatural. But, what about non-class things? Well... what about feats? I can be a human born with psychic powers. I can be a human who has...

What? Being better than everyone else? No thanks. I don't want to pull out an enemy for the PARTY to fight and the weapon users to all go, "Oh, well, not really going to be able to contribute to this fight. Good luck mages." because other than the most powerful of foes, who can sort of delay...
