What is THAT in the real world?"I ask this because my DM is ruling that my 23 strength barbarian could not do this unless he had weeks."Weeks to do this feat of Strength? Maybe in the real world...but this game (key word: game) is about your character being a "hero". In situations like this, I ask myself one question: "Could <fill in the blank> do this?"Could Conan do this?Yes...but he would only do it if it was "heroic" to do so.IMHO, the DM should allow your character your chance to shine in the sun.Just don't abuse it, dear player, or the DM is justified in making all dungeon walls made out of "black impenetrable substance #1".And if he's really worried about the walls of his dungeon being breached, just wait until the casters get Stone Shape, Teleport, Stone to Mud, D. Door...Then your piddly Rock Breaking will seem completely inferior. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
