He doesn't even have a PC class, so he can't. And if he's a PC, then he's not normal. He's a PC. He's special. And that specialness means he gets to break the rules of the world, or whatever. So by nature, he is not mundane.And I believe that is the assumption that the Core has: PCs break the rules because they are PCs. They have destiny or whatever. This wasn't meant for me, but I'll go ahead and respond to it: I think getting hung up on this issue is silly. There, I said it directly to you: not being able to get past this, and having your suspension of disbelief broken by it, is silly. We're playing a game. An abstract creation, sitting in a basement with our friends pretending to be elves and wizards, moving plastic or pewter around on a checkerboard. So I just can't take you seriously when you say that it breaks your disbelief because x can happen but y can't in the above environment. It's like making an issue about how knight can only move in an L shaped pattern, but the bishop being able to move diagonal. I'm sorry if you don't want to hear that, and I don't mean to dismiss the way you feel, but that's how I feel on the matter. And furthermore, if the "Fighters using Dailies" bothers you, and (more importantly) does not meet your needs of "The normal overcoming the unnormal", then perhaps 4th edition is not for you. Perhaps you should play something that better suits your needs as a gamer. (Hell, there are two games I'd play over D&D, so I understand what it means to play what suits you best.) </blockquote>
