I'm referring to defining how and why things work the way they do in terms of a fantasy setting. If you want non-casters to have supernatural powers beyond what can be "realistically" accomplished, there's no problem with giving them that; you just need to give them the same degree of definition (from an in-character perspective) that spellcasters have, and you should be fine.Now, that probably won't be enough for people who want martials to be completely mundane, but still want them to function at parity with spellcasters and other users of supernatural abilities, but that's another conversation altogether.Sure, and those are all examples of what I was talking about. Such characters are non-spellcasters (i.e. martials) who have supernatural powers which are explained from an in-character standpoint, e.g. divine parentage, etc. That's all it takes. The only problem, that I see, is that there's an issue with tying that to a class, which makes such a thing common (or at least, if there are no class prerequisites) throughout the game world, leading to issues of unintended consequences.</blockquote>
