Yup. Exactly.
But its unclear to me what is happening in these conversation exchanges.
1) D&D Fighter
closes to melee with the dragon (a prerequisite to deploy their atttacks).
2) D&D Fighter deploys their attack(s).
3) D&D Dragon deploys their melee suite of attacks onto D&D Fighter.
4) D&D Fighter
somehow survives.
5) Rinse and repeat until D&D Fighter
somehow slays the D&D dragon.

@Micah Sweet ), given the above 1-5 and the bolded/italicized in particular,
what is happening in the shared imagined space to make this true if not D&D Epic Fighter's athletic profile reveals supernatural explosivity (omnidirectional speed, strength, agility), endurance, coordination, proprioception, and processing speed/efficiency?
