D&D 5E The Magical Martial

Great we've heard you. We've known what you want for OVER A HUNDRED PAGES.

Pot, meet kettle.

Explain to me how a mundane guy fights a T Rex then.

he beats it up with his weapons and his strength and skill.

he exists in a fantasy setting and thus the mundane guy can do extraordinary things.

being supernatural or magic are basically aesthetics and are entirely unnessacary factors for a hero to be able to do incredible things in such a world.

Nothing but suplexes.

That's how you fight trains, good sir.

 

[Micah Sweet]

but they shouldn't force you to become supernatural just because you reached a certain level threshold

At this point I have to wonder, "why not?" As others have said, a fighter or rogue can't reasonably fight high-level opponents without supernatural aid. The vast majority of our fictional touchstones in this area are realistically beneath that Tier 3 threshhold.

 

[Micah Sweet]

Yes, we have TRIED. There was even a few good suggestions not too long ago.

One guess what keeps happening.

Strong disagree. You want to talk "magical martials"? I am not stopping you.

 

[Micah Sweet]

I am very much aware. And I would be willing to be "fair" about it, except there is no meeting in the middle, no compromise. Instead, every time anything is proposed, he demands the same thing over and over again. And even if given it, a few pages later, he is doing the same thing, or something else to derail the conversation again.

Since when have you actually proposed an ability? Instead, you're just as unwilling to let the ability's provenance go as I am, to be fair.

Mundane fantasy guy..

Otherwise..where the heck did that T-Rex come from?

How is that relevant to human vs. T-rex?

Not how I see it (magic and the supernatural have measurable effects in a fantasy world, they're not just free descriptors like FATE), but don't let that stop you from coming up with ideas for supernatural martial abilities.

Where were humans mentioned?

Mundane character. I guess it could be an elven fighter vs. The T-Rex.
