These are things that are bordering on impossibility for ordinary humans, but they do not go so far as to require a supernatural explanation - they can be construed as amazing, almost unbelievable, competence on the part of characters.Walking on clouds, on the other hand, is just so far out there that I simply cannot suspend my disbelief without a supernatural explanation for it. Same goes for direct reading of thoughts on a high sense motive check.I do not think that in order to be epic, you have to break all the rules of physics, etc. and not even justify it with a supernatural explanation. That is not what defines an epic game in my eyes. For me, an epic game implies that the heroes are still mortal and while high above their ordinary brehten they still cannot break the limits of physics without supernatural aid. These still human heroes struggle against the odds to accomplish great deeds that will inspire generations of people after them to follow their example. That is what epic means to me.Now, don't get me wrong, I would expect immortal and divine games to be different. Divinite is in its very nature supernatural, so the above limitations do not apply.Of course, everyone will has their own idea of what epic means and the above is merely my take on the matter.</blockquote>
