[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4495891, member: 71571"] Here's why the Minotaur and the Halfling aren't analogous. Minotaur finds the stuck door, and starts bashing himself against it. He's never encountered a door like this, so brute force is his option. The halfing, while not as strong, has experience with these kinds of doors, he's been dealing with them for years. He yawns, takes out a tiny bit of oil, slips it in the hinges and the cracks of the doorframe, grabs the handle, turns it, and the door slips open because while he's learned a few tricks in his days that make things easier. Experience makes a -huge- difference. 'Oh yeah, Cowman, there's a -trick- to these sorts of doors. The dwarves who made them wanted them to be sturdy and avoid war, but, if you hold the handle just right... not all the way, but just a little way, it'll slip right open... see!' 'You're full of crap, little man.' 'Maybe, but I got this door open for you. How's your shoulder?' [/QUOTE]
