Not "I attack", but "Charging forward, I let out a battle-cry and in one smooth motion pull my sword from its scabbard and cleave into his chest".The improbable is the desirable, I might add. Thus increased acrobatic abilities are good.Oh, and for some reason if anything catches you after any distance fall, you're automatically OK. Also known as the Giant Robot Catch. Superman has this sort of field around him. It might be a Strength-based ability.A lot of it's in the mindset. If you watch a lot of anime, you pick up on a subtle leveling mechanic in the background - this applies to almost anything. It's the classic "I got beaten and go away in shame, but come back six episodes later to try again and succeed!" schtick. Thus D&D is good for this sort of thing (it also gives you an excuse to throw out CR). And, of course, 99% of fights are done with the combatants standing in plain view of each other, then often pairing off to fight one-on-one - some sort of bushido honour thing? I dunno.</blockquote>
