but mortal combat doesn't say they're not regular humans, and it doesn't say they learn special supernatural variants of those mundane fighting styles, you're making those answers up yourself, it's exactly the same situation as with DnD, why can't you just quietly make up your own excuses to yourself in your own game rather than telling us over and over 'it has to be this way' (fun fact: it doesn't)
It has to be that way for it to be coherent to me. Having some things be fuzzy and others things clear for no reason makes no sense to me. Do what you want, but if you keep claiming it doesn't matter I will keep disagreeing with you, because it matters to me just as much as it doesn't matter to you, and my preferences are just as important as yours.
The clear reason is to let people interpret things in their own way that they want to, yours is not the only opinion that matters for what the flavour of the justifications should be, that’s why you’re getting so much pushback, you’re basically saying your preference is the only one that matters.
But I don't care what the explanation is, just that there be one. Furthermore, many, many things in D&D have clear supernatural explanations, and no one complains that those explanations exist. The situation is incoherent on several levels.
Fair enough, but I see nothing wrong with requesting clarity for areas that lack it, particularly if otherwise people are asking for supernatural effects from beings that are to all appearances non-magical because, "fantasy".
But you getting your explanation means other people aren’t allowed theirs, why are you more important than they are?
Are people not allowed to argue for their preference?
They can but you have to recognise when you’re holding up the entire discussion until you get your preferences catered to specifically.
I don't think anyone has the ability to "hold up" a discussion. You aren't forced to reply to posters you don't want to engage with.
