D&D 5E Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

I have no clue what this even is....

A super heroic character in a video game... and I have no issue with someone new coming in and using it as inspiration but again I would want it toned down a bit

And, a super heroic character who appears to be a Single Player character.

In which case it may even make sense to have someone hog the spotlight to such a setting shattering degree.

Just order your goddamn food and leave the other tables alone.

No.

Raiden rolled well on his Parry Maneuver and managed to block the attack, then had a feat where he could grapple and yeet gargatuan creatures because his DM stole it from PF2e. It was already at low health, so he was able to run in and finish it off for style points.

that is true... but much like if someone comes in and brings a comic book or movie character I think that the same thing (Wait you want to play a monk/rogue based on John wick... you do remember this is a team game right).

100%, and I think WotC has even forgotten this some times.

Restrictions, limits, and weaknesses, should be HARD CODED right into the designs of the races, and classes of the game.

I must say again WHY all the full casters?!

But hey if a Wizard one shots an enemy with a lucky save or lose, that's perfectly kosher, right? : )

If a Fighter can lucky crit and one shot it as well? Sure.

But depending on the target, I dont think either should happen.

dude I am like #1 for kicking the wizard down and raising the fighter up... so you are preaching to the choir. However I will say that I would PREFER the john wick auto kill the bad guy with a sneak attack and crit then random wizard drops a level 1 tasha's laugh and ends the encounter...

I mean you could just play a wizard if that's your jam.
