Yet PCs do it as a matter of course. If D&D modeled real life, the PCs would be killed in the first volley of bolts and that would be that. They wouldn't even have a chance of surviving to rescue the princess. Yet in D&D, not only do they have a chance, it's (usually) a pretty good chance. That's the stuff of heroic fantasy.</blockquote>
