Reliably performing a running leap of 25 ft or climbing Bear's Reach (400 ft, multi-pitch) in under 5 minutes.3- Preternatural: Explainable through physical means, but typically only as a once in a life time or 6 sigma occurrence. Reliable performance implies beyond-mundane ability. "Twin telepathy", horse whisperers, hurling a weapon to bring down a flying opponent short term, someone who always has just enough money regardless of situation.4- Supernatural: Not explainable through physical means, but perhaps unpredictable. Often from lineage or special training. Most wuxia techniques I would place here. Bamboo walking, danger sense (might be preternatural), metabolic body control, not dying while holding the bridge until all your enemies are slain.5- Magical: Systemically and frankly breaking known laws of physics, life without sustaining systems (elementals don't have organs, &c.). Magical gates, spells, &c. Create a fiery blade to kill a leshy, throw your spear and ride upon it, striking your foe so hard their parents die.</blockquote>
