[QUOTE="Bastoche, post: 391474, member: 306"] Someone in another thread mentionned the word "plausible". I really like that word. The DnD universe don't need to be realistic. Realistic as in "respects all rules of physics". It only has to be plausible. Plausible as in "considering that magic exists, is it realistic ?". You can't compare spellcasting to reality since it doesn't exist at all. But swords and swordfighting do (or did) exist ! There's no reality base for magic but there is for "fighter's mechanics". Wielding a 6 foot long sword in one hand is not possible in real life. Depending on the feel you want (there's no such thing as [u]a[/u] "DnD feel", there is as many as there is players), monkey grip may or may not be silly. For me it's silly. And using two greatswords is the top silliness there is. For [u]me[/u]. And for [u]me[/u] anime is about realistic cartoons, exactly to opposite as some claim here. Monkey gripping a greatsword is more a console games thing (final fantasy comes to mind). But then again, I'm not very well verse in anime culture... I like [i]ghost in the shell[/i], [i]Blood, the last vampire[/i] and thins like that. No monkey gripping there. And who the hell would want to take a feat with the word "monkey" in it beside Homer Simpson ? ;) [/QUOTE]
