[QUOTE="satori01, post: 4110937, member: 7859"] I agree with your concerns regarding the power, but I disagree that history, myth, and even Martial Arts in the real world are not full of Superhuman activities. Martial Artist with extensive training are able to break bricks, using forearms and even their heads that for must of us would result in broken limbs or possibly death in terms of using your head to break concrete. Thai Kick boxing trains your reflexes to the point where practitioners reaction speed are scientifically faster than most, etc. Conan has strength, agility, and stamina that is better than any human alive, Finn the ancient Irish hero was always more clever than his opponent, and usually better at their schtict than they were. Martial Characters should be able to perform superhuman activities, and frankly need to if you are going to remove magic item dependence, again realistically breaking concrete blocks is superhuman. Warlords are the battle tested sergeants barking out orders, that allows other characters to forgoe heistation in battle, and slide and shift with out delay....pretty simple explanation. I think your contention is more personal dislike at a style, than anything else. I am not trying to be mean, or dismissive, but as reasonable as I have always found your rules analysis....the desire for no superhuman abilities in warrior classes is I think a minority opinion.
