[QUOTE="Ashkelon, post: 6668265, member: 6774887"] Sacrosanct you are having some serious trading comprehension issues here. I never once said the 5e fighter could perform superhuman feats. It can't. It is entirely mundane. And that is the problem Let's make this clear, to kill a creature like a T-Rex let alone a dragon a human would need superhuman levels of Strength, skill, speed, and endurance. Levels only seen in mythology. Yet, somehow a D&D fighter can do this. The 5e fighter doesn't have exceptional strength, skill, speed, or endurance. At lest not when compared to heroes of myth and legend. This is why there is a disconnect. Just as you wouldn't expect Gimli to be able to solo Smaug in LotR using. Only his axe, you also wouldn't expect a completely mundane warrior to be capable of fighting something like a T-Rex or a dragon. Why is it that you can suspend your disbelief there, but find having 4 times your normal carrying capacity to be unbelievable? That seems plain silly. Frankly, it is far more believable that a warrior with the strength of 4 men could slay a t-Rex than to believe a perfectly mundane warrior could kill one. [/QUOTE]
