[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9319762, member: 6801228"] See, this is where things get tricky. Because it all comes down to what you mean. Magic, as in spells? No. I don't want martials to have spells. Supernatural Empowerment? Well... what do you mean by that? Do you mean drinking dragon's Blood? Then no. But what about focusing your internal energy and passion to fine point? What about being angry enough that it literally weighs on other people like a second gravity field? Qi, Life Energy, Aura, Passion, Focus... I'm fine with these things causing supernatural effects. I'm fine with someone who can focus to the point that their sheer intent cuts like a blade. Because they live in a world where everything is magic and that is a thing you can do. But to do that, you need to hone your focus beyond human limitations. And that is a supernatural effect to me. This is part of why I keep focusing on the end result. Because that is the important part to me, I can come up with a dozen reasons why that result would be possible for a dozen different characters. But I think we keep getting bogged down because the reasons end up causing people who agree with each other on the results to fight. [/QUOTE]
