[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5385464, member: 22779"] I guess, at the end of the day, I just want warrior types that are cool. I want warriors that can run across the surface of a lake. I want warriors that can leap from the tops of bamboo trees while sword fighting. I want warriors that can balance on top of a rolling mill wheel, fighting their enemies, while the mill wheel careens down the side of a mountain. Sure, a lot of this stuff comes from wire-fu and chop socky movies, but, a lot of it is starting to make its way into Hollywood movies as well. Legolas surfboards the shield down the stairs while putting arrows into orc eyeballs. That's COOL. Totally unrealistic. But, certainly legendary. That's what I want from my mythic warriors. Not all the time, and I got no problems with growing into the role. This isn't about power gaming are Mary Sue style gaming in god mode. It's about being more than a bag of hit points that stands in front of the wizard while the wizard gets to do all the cool stuff. Ok, that's hyperbole, but, you get the point. I want to be the guy who leaps off the battlements, onto the dragon and starts stabbing it repeatedly, a la the animated Beowulf movie. That was properly mythic. [/QUOTE]
