They werent in 1980. Sword bearing martial artists who perform periodic feats of wild and intricate action even ones who dont lapse strongly in to magic tropes.... are a part and parsel to a healthy amount of there fantastical environment. Thinking "I hit it with a sword" is designed for them????  seems pretty head in the sand.The LOTR they are used to involves an elf kiting on a borrowed shield into a super charge maneuver onto a battle and a warlord (ranger) flinging a dwarf impossibly far into position against a crew of baddies, and occasionally two arrows launched from a single nock....  not just the plodding counting of heads.</blockquote>
