[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3861035, member: 2525"] Ah, the "realism" argument again, despite it having been debunked already multiple times in this thread. Your fighter does things already that defy realism, and he/she does it while looking like a Christmas tree of magic items. Who are you trying to kid with this "realism" claim about fighters? With the exception of the first few levels, fighters do not adhere closely to realism. You want to hit them four times in a matter of seconds at an inhuman speed, using a magical sword, protected by your magical armor. And afterwards, you want to jump an inhuman height, hold your breath for an inhuman amount of time, climb up sheer cliffs in an inhuman manner, and use inhuman feats to further enhance your already inhuman abilities. Who are you guys trying to kid here? There is nothing "realistic" or "normal" about a mid level fighter, and a high level one is completely alien to what we know of as human abilities. So you care about the flavor justification for alien actions, but you don't care about the actions themselves. So...what's stopping you from changing the flavor of things? You could ALWAYS adapt that part of the game the easiest. The only barrier to you playing Conan in 4e will be your own imagination. [/QUOTE]
