[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5968814, member: 48965"] Dude, I don't know how many times I can repeat this... spells explain how and why a wizard can use magic to do things... as well as the effects he can use magic for. It's simple and I'm starting to feel like you're purposefully reading what you want to into the answers I give you. as an example, at one point in time in our history, the makeup of fire couldn't be explained and wasn't known... yet fire could be created through certain processes (memorization and casting of spells) and used in certain ways (spell effects), regardless of whether we did or did not understand exactly what fire was/is. what you couldn't do was just create through any process or use fire to do whatever just "because". Call it a paradigm of the D&D world. I'm asking what is the fighter's paradigm for gaining these powers?? In Exalted, he's explicitely a fallen demi-god. In Earthdawn he's and adept who unconsciously channels magic... so what allows him to tap into his power. Now what is the process through which he does this, because otherwis everybody, regardless of whether they are fighters or not should be able to tap into and use will and heroism to accomplish great feats?
