[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9327432, member: 63508"] I didn't say the fest was good. I just said what 5e considers mastery. I wasn't talking about the specifics but quantity and quality. How many fighting styles should the greatest knight in the kingdom have mastered? How many skills should the greatest thief in the empire have mastered? How mastering the sword and pistol how many skills do you expect the captain of the greatest pirate fleet in the East sea have also mastered? And do any of they need to be supernatural? Because in most movies, books, epics, TV shows, cartoons, anime, and myths, the Greats that are Mundane typically master at least 2 fighting styles and two skills at the minimum. And that's before you get to the point of [B]grandmastery [/B]which usually does not exist in D&D at all. This is because most games in the D&D sphere do not have a real sense of progression that can be felt in their lore nor mechanics due to the desire of the designers and parts of the community who prefer it to be loose, undefined, and simple This thread is about stealing the progression of monsters to substitute for the lack of progression in Martial prowess.
