My idea has been updated a little... but I suspect I didnt express it well anyway but basically you start with the battlemaster including having the superiority dice. This expresses it simply I think. Scan for opportunity: spend a bonus action to regain a superiority die or you spend one of...

There seems a trend towards fewer 4e Wizards eventually had 790 total : 430 powers and 360 rituals.

I would like to point out how narrow and specific these "feats of strength" are compared to giving someone a girdle of giant strength they are both good for the flavor and bad because they are not iMHO backed up broadly enough Level Up to the rescue? in Level Up Soldiering Knacks for a fighter...

The best and amazing defender i have seen built is a multiclass caster (with combining features) it may start serviceable early but gets good and great at 6 and 9 if I remember and it might have dipped into martial but not much... and if you designed it clever it still has the heavy wizard...

I was going to mention that... and that acorn that burst into flames at the wolves inspiration for a fireball?

I express it as a flying flame throwing, armored like a tank, super genius monstrous beast the size of a house.. or some such and as it stands nope nope nope.

Yeh I can figure out how to do the raise the dead ritual by challenging death but ... not so much that stunt.

like wish spell that replicates Djinn ... and 4th level spells raise the dead. Just saying, the level of D&D is ummm not nearly as low as a lot of folk think.

Sounds like they upped the Cap to somewhat closer to xmen level in that regards, not quite spidey but...

Not sure why? It already does for instance Clerics classic miracles were pulled directly from biblical sources and Feat is after all something D&D adopted strong likely from Celtic Myth. Samson (conflict between matrimonial oath and empowering oath), Lancelot (conflicting oaths to king and...

Nods 4e used a swarm monster type to represent things like a squadron of orcs or demons not just bugs/birds/bats and any character interacting with them had a slice of that experience. However minions could help too and I think are perhaps used more. Additionally the fighter had some attacks...

That is a possibility (or hit points so that their attributes and hit die size become the resource) I was thinking taking risk could be a resource (like you get an extra attack this round but trigger an opportunity attack for your enemy as a cost)

He is bad enough in myth, wrestling with death to save a recently dead person is close to a martial resurrection trick. Hawkeyes equipment translates damn near to spells its super tech The high levels nobody/few get to are called aspirational at least they are that way for casters... and the...

or even a level 5 one... Shrug, Hercules and Cuchulainn, and Perseus and many others in the 2e Players handbook list of example fighters were considered Demigods (Thor both parents were gods). Hercules was I believe elevated to full god at the finale of his story.

They could even be allowing a lot of short rests and likely playing only in the lower tiers, it does not have to be explicit to greatly alter the play experience

Problem is it seems like 5e does and does not have epic.The flavor text/presented of the 4th tier in 5e is a fairly close to that of 4e's epic levels, and wizard having wish spells and similar things (feel like they are there already). I mean what are you going to do for spells for these over...

The mythic theme is a means to an end .... its one narrative that enables non-casters to be as badass as the 5e Wizard. A Fated Wielder like King Arthur and Elric of Melnibone is another narrative. mythic archetypes at least have been woven this is from the Dragonlords of the Odyssey... and...
