My preference would be to see it as a full class, but WotC is allergic to creating new classes, and only does so when the concept is sufficiently different from other classes. See the Artificer and the attempted Psions. So there's no way they do it as anything other than a subclass. As for...

I can't fathom why. We KNOW it's not real. How could it scare someone? Also, from the other posters in this thread, it hardly seems like I'm an anomaly here. They also question the fear aspect.

I have played with amazing DMs, some of whom are professional actors, directors, and script writers. None of them have ever been able to scare me. They've been amazing at evoking a horror atmosphere in the game, but no fear. But then no horror book or movie has ever scared me, either. Other...

Aragorn literally uses healing hands, telepathy, safely(due to his superhuman willpower) uses the palantir, and commands the dead. In the movies he also uses animal empathy, another power of the numenoreans which he possesses.

Nobody was fighting 100 to 1 against orcs armed with ranged weapons and killed 20 of them by themself. Except maybe perhaps the dunedain who were there, Legolas and Gimli. Oh, the undead probably did as well. But no normal humans. Again, you're choosing a very weird hill to die on. Edit...

They had far fewer numbers than the orcs. FAR fewer. Also, Isildur, a dunedain, cut the One Ring off of Sauron's hand..........after one elf and one dunedain defeated Sauron who was empowered by the One Ring. I'm really not sure why you're choosing this hill to die on. That the dunedain were...

Wrong thread. This belongs in the "Today I learned" thread. :p

You do know that he was attacked by around 100 orcs, was not in particularly defensive terrain, and many of the orcs had bows. He still killed TWENTY of them. Regular folks can't do that.

Yes, but in some families the blood is nearly pure, and in some members of those families the blood runs true. Denethor and his sons were in that category and would be High Men.

This shall not pass!

Actually, no. More than one dwarf was created by Aule. Durin was the first.

Dude. When they marched on Sauron and his armies, Sauron surrendered, because he couldn't beat them. It was a lot more than a simple +1. However, even if it was a +1 to every attribute, that's still a significant difference from regular humans. +1 to every attribute. Prophecy. Telepathy...

You used the giant eagles, didn't you?

It actually does. They have telepathy. They are physically stronger, faster, more hardy, more intelligent, wiser, etc. They also have other supernatural abilities. They had the gift of foresight/prophecy. They had healing hands, a quasi-supernatural ability with healing that could be...
