[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 126154, member: 307"] Maybe, maybe not. Remember, in the D&D universe, physical strength is just one way to focus personal power. In a world where individuals can cause balls of flame to appear by force of will, call down the wrath of the gods, strike precisely in your vital organs or otherwise use non-strength based ways of causing mayhem is the raging barbarian all that noteworthy of a threat? Is that little halfling who is trying to coerce you into doing something a powerful Wizard? Can you tell just by looking at him? Since Wizards are not unheard of in the D&D reality, do threats made by someone claiming to be a Wizard scare you more or less than the raging barbarian? I'd think the guy who can alter reality with his magical powers would be more intimidating, but that may just be me. Being big and strong in the D&D world is not all that impressive compared to the abilities wielded by other possible threats. [/QUOTE]
