The name seems to be deliberately vague enough to encompass any such character, whether it's a bandit lord or front-line general.I went looking around the 4th-edition art and the weapon sizes don't seem particularly unrealistic. I've seen some with rather impractical designs, but that's somewhat of a different issue.One thing I feel I should point out about manga, and other Japanese media, is that they typically aren't all that creative in terms of things like race design. Most of them come from their own or other mythologies or legends. If they're not using that, most fantasies are based on humans.I can't really think of much that's similar to the Dragonborn who aren't just bigger and meaner lizardfolk from Japanese media. I can think of a few human-like characters who can transform into dragons, but both those series started at least a decade and a half ago(one started in 1989 in something called "Dragon Magazine" it seems).With the possible exception of allowing the mundane characters to do super-human feats more noticeably, I don't quite see much anime/manga/Japanese game influence in 4th.</blockquote>
