[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3979022, member: 5100"] The way in which those two differ are pretty minor. I'm all for a way to balance martial and arcane characters. I don't see that being able to ignite your sword, leap 100', or the like are required. On the other hand, I'm fine with punches that crack stone, vaulting over human-sized opponents, dodging arrows (maybe not volleys, though), enduring a cider block to the face, and snapping chains. Those aren't real-world, but they have a somewhat different feel than some wuxia moves. Something that occurred to me, in a somewhat humorous way is the old "turn it to 11" bit. I want fighters to just "turn it to 11" (and 12, 13, 19, etc.). The same stuff, just bigger. I want wizards to use pyrotechnics. I don't want my fighters using pyrotechnics (at least not of their own design), and I don't want my wizards just turning up the volume. That isn't to say that I'm against fighter/mages. I'm just against some types of magic being passed off as martial skill. [/QUOTE]
