That's why every once in a while you just "heal" up and wake into consciousness after being hit with a near fatal blow.  That's why every once in a while the laws of physics seem to bend around you, and you seem invisible for a split second.Who is to say that the Fighter making her sword swings and adding a few grunts isn't casting a spell with verbal and somatic components by mistake.  It doesn't happen every time because the conditions aren't right every time, nor does it happen often enough that the Fighter catches on to replicate it.  Maybe that Ogre was blinded by the sand that the Fighter tried to throw in its face or maybe it was the glint of sunlight on steel or maybe it was a spell that no one invented yet. Some do try to study it and become Eldritch Knights, but most Fighters don't care.  They're just glad to tell the tale after... and when they tell it, it was always due to their own skill.Who cares what we can do in the "real" world. In the genre fiction people do amazing things all the time. In mythology people do amazing things all the time. That's what D&D is about to me. Well... that... and killing monsters and taking their stuff.Three cheers for Law of Physics Breaking Murder Hobos!Hip Hip Hooray!Hip Hip Hooray!Hip Hip Hooray!</blockquote>
