[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 8547465, member: 7034710"] Responding to this concept of 'mundane fighters' more than Remathilis themselves:[I] Is not every inhabitant of 'your' DND world not on some level considered inherently magical? because magic is an inherent part of that world, [/I]can they not resist magical effects and make arcarna checks to sense magic despite being supposedly entirely nonmagical? A 'real world' human could no more perform the feats a fighter can perform like second wind or action surge could do any more than they could learn to fling fireballs or polymorph creatures by reading a magic book, but the fighter is held to the limits of the 'real world' simply because they do not actively interact with the magic systems [besides eldritch knight], IMO the fighter does use magic but it manifests in the way of superhuman physique and battle mastery, ways that only [I]seem[/I] ordinary because they're not[I] explicity [/I]magical. Its been claimed earlier that hercules and the like could only perform the feats he did because he was part god or every other reason for the rest of them, but every resident of the [I]fantasy world[/I] your adventures happen in by all rights should have magic in their bones and blood if only a little, but that trace amount of magic is good enough in my book to explain why they should be able to cut down foes like paper, inspire allies with their heroic cries or scale cliffs and leap across gorges.
