[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9328290, member: 6796468"] Players suspend disbelief all the time. Again. Run 30ft and throw 4 effective attacks at someone else trying to defend themself and do it in the span of 6 seconds. Then do it again in the next 6 seconds, and the next 6 seconds, and the next 6 seconds. And also make an extra attack within those 6 seconds when the guy you ran to runs away. and do it in full plate armor. It's not humanly possible, but we treat it as the baseline of the game world because we suspend our disbelief. Just as we do with John Henry being the greatest Steel Driving Man to ever exist. Or Pecos Bill. Or Batman. [I]shrug[/I] It's your story. Your world. You get to write it and tell me. But I could definitely see a world where that level of folk-heroics is commonplace. We call it D&D. Where totally normal human fighters pull ridiculous feats while wearing full armor and carrying a hundred pounds of garbage in their backpacks. Decide where you want to draw the line. Draw the line there. Then work outward. But the idea that that line is the only line that matters, or the only line -anyone- can draw, is self-deluding. [/QUOTE]
