    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I'm just saying if someone wants to play a gritty veteran, they are going to be allowed too. Champions and battle masters are already there and will not be errata'ed out. The anime inspired stuff will be presented a options. A lot of ppl play low magic settings and they don't want that stuff...

    It destroyed the moon. I'm just using that as an example of "anime" that would be a bad fit. Not sure if people complain about the sun soul monk being weak compared to Krillen.

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    Stuff that is more grounded is fine imo. And it's inspiration. I'm just against special beam cannon and tornadoes from spinning. Or Hercules lifting the planet when Atlas tricked him. The basic fighter is supposed to be mundane. That's the point. Anime inspired options and subclasses to...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I'm all for more options. Like I said, the game is headed there anyway. Just don't expect Hercules (especially the Marvel Hercules) or Logan or Achilles. Even John Wick "looked the same" as the dozens of NPCs he killed. Some powers like using hit dice to generate a Thunderwave type of...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I think you're taking it too literally. You can't convert comic book characters into DnD stats. It just doesn't work that way. An Ice Devil would then be able to destroy any "mere mortal". And that's not the case. People like Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Iron Man, etc. are certainly...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    Why wouldn't Hawkeye be able to solo an ice devil? The fight could last a whole issue, but I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do it. Like I said, I'm all for giving fighters more options. That's where the game is headed anyways. Just keep it grounded. This game is not meant to...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I'd be all for Fighters getting some abilities that triggered off hit dice. They can then become a "long rest" class and work for 5 minutes too. I just think that codifying feats from anime or the Bible is not the way to go.

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    The 20th lvl fighter kills things a lot quicker and gets killed a lot less. Probably has a much nicer suit of armor, car, house, etc. Is a 20th level fighter supposed to be taller or have super Saiyan hair or something? To be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 20th...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    Hawkeye would definitely be a good fight against those dudes imo. Marvel Comics Hercules doesn't count. That guy can punch a planet in half. There's a difference between myth and stories and game mechanics. Those examples are inspiration and not supposed to be taken literally as PCs. Even...

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I'd consider even the 2nd or 3rd best 20th level. DnD is not made to support superheroes. Thor is a god. Maybe the next edition will have some Immortals tier where that could be explored. And it would certainly be interesting. But the current game is not designed with that in mind.

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    Why is Hawkeye only 10th level? If there were a DnD equivalent of "best arrow guy in the world", I would think they would be above 10th level.

    It was basically that. The rounds were a full minute hack then so it made more sense.

    Maybe they can add some martial powers that trigger off the use of hit dice. It would be easily backwards compatible. You can add in exhaustion penalties and stuff too for epic deeds of martial prowess. This way, Fighters can have their 5 minute work day too :)

    D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    A lot of the problem with comparisons to mythic feats of legend is that some of those feats were once in a life type of events. Which is hard to codify into rules. Maybe some epic warrior can can topple a mountain once with some mighty maul. If we make it recharge on a short rest or...
