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...

Olympic competition records hmmm This is maybe a thread branch. Weren't there various synonym magic users defined like warlocks/sorcerers basically as lower ability Magic types? I remember a ranger as a type of hero but not the difference.

Magic User the bazooka who could become invisible between each turn till they attacked... create ares of Darkness that they could see through... they were badass too That bazooka could be using either a lightning or fireball every turn. These were the first at-will spells :)

I will say class names do not matter to me... Not thinking this can be solved via reflavoring an existing class Complexity, Versatility and Power at high levels are the underlying lacks which are being discussed not a lack of legendary flavor. Making the non-caster characters more...

A turn in Chainmail might be seen as a skirmish (or encounter) too but maybe not :) I do not remember a time span for it?

good to hear it got some mileage at least

yeh exactly what a feature to drool for.

Yes I knew the context. I first heard of "one man army" though in a sort of D&D context in Chain mail they referred to the level 8 analog "superhero" that way ...allowed him to inspire fear in entire enemy squad (enough for them to quit the battle I think? but I could be misremembering) and...

Encounter long durations would be workable even against the players as long as the dm didnt have it be prolific. Crits are kind of meh unpredictable and non-tactical.. not my favorite *but I suppose Champion could use something I just think one needs to be careful before giving the longer...
