You cant compare Aragorn, Frodo and Gimli with 20th level DnD heroes who more closely resemble the cast of the Avengers than they do the latter Fellowship.It's why these threads get heated. A sizeable portion of DMs want 'gritty LoTR style Fantasy' and try and emulate it with DnD. A cursory look at DnDs rules and classes (and campaign settings) show you DnD is not Middle Earth. It's an over the top Gonzo high magic super-hero Wuxia fantasy ruleset.You can spot those DMs by the way. Fumble rules, insta death, and rage-quitting the campaign at mid T2.</blockquote>
