[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 5970568, member: 6696971"] In applying this to the thread topic: - I think for some what you say is true. There is a need. Measurable Force > Applied to Object > Kinetic Energy Transfer > Predictable Outcomes/Limits Consistent With Preconception. - I think for some what you say is not true. There is no need. Professional athletes in the real world exhibit all manner of dexterity, agility, speed, coordination, and strength that vastly exceeds that of the common man. In our world, a singular, quantum particle accelerated through an impermeable filter with two open slots inexplicably passes through both slots simultaneously (Quantum Mechanics...or High Arcana). Perhaps then, its not so strange that through extraordinary martial conditioning, will, genetic predisposition, there is an even higher level of access to energy/kinesis and/or the ability to bypass or overcome drag, inertia, gravity, friction in a fantasy world where some form of arcane conduit permeates the atmosphere or space/time (whatever it is), divine beings grant miracles and non-supernatural, gigantic creatures can fly from a standstill without the requisite thrust or forward momentum necessary to create and sustain lift despite their absurd weight and their inefficient forms creating greater form/frictional drag. - I think for some what you say is not true. There is no need. Its fiction first and they are not attempting to model reality. They are attempting to model heroes of legend and the stories that comprise their legacy and all other considerations are secondary. And by secondary I mean non-existent. Getting all of these folks together will be a neat trick. Lets make it happen WotC. [/QUOTE]
