[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9328451, member: 6796468"] Do you accept that a Fighter can run 30ft make a total of 6 effective attacks with two weapons and repeat it every 6 seconds indefinitely so long as enemies exist? How about 5 effective attacks? 4? 3? What is the in-universe explanation for those things being totally normal for a character to do? Any CR 1/4 Bandit can throw off 3 every 6 seconds, after all. Bandit Captains can do 4. How about the fact that 99% of all characters in D&D are physically incapable of Parrying using their weapons? Bandit Captains can do so as a reaction, but for everyone else? Not an option without a class feature. Why do you accept ALL OF THIS but demand explanations for the apple? Because of Suspension of Disbelief and Buy In, right? That's not even getting INTO the "More Elaborate" stuff. Just -baseline- they're superhuman AF. But we accept and tolerate that because, y'know. Suspension of Disbelief. You have a higher bar for things beyond that? Cool beans. Create reasons or just discard stuff that doesn't make sense for your world. It's -easy-. And if someone else's reasons (IE the Writer of a setting/D&D Book/Whatever) isn't good enough for your suspension of disbelief: Discard it and write your own. [/QUOTE]
