[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9339751, member: 6801228"] Because it doesn't need to be. You accept so much in DnD, why can't the training just be more effective? Why do you need to insist that people cannot be more than what we have on Earth, unless they are doing something special, instead of it taking place in a special world where special things are possible? Edit: Again, I point to Dragon Ball Z. People who learn martial arts in that world can fly. We see a lot of the training early on, and the training is already them doing things like shoving massive boulders across the land. And they got to that point by... learning normal, identifiable martial arts... and just being really good at it. Second Edit: And the other thing. You keep saying that "all" you are asking for is it to be "honestly labeled"... We are labeling it honestly. It is training. Training that any person could undergo, just like all the martial arts and all the training in our world. And you keep going "no no, it must be different, it must be SUPERNATURAL training, unusual and strange training. Have you ever played Mortal Combat? They actually list the martial arts of the fighters. And, even with earthrealm fighters who are just normal humans, who somehow have mystical or supernatural abilities.... no special martial arts styles. Only normal styles we are all familiar with. Sub-Zero knowns Ninjitsu, a real martial art people really train... and yet he can throw ice bolts with it, which aren't things real masters of Ninjitsu can do. [/QUOTE]
