If Thancred is a Rogue (Which he is.) And he say, cuts through steel at one point with a little knife.
Is it suddenly off limits for a Rogue to do that without being Thancred?
Raubaughns (failed so hard at spelling) is a Highlander right? He kicked a pillar like a football.
Would it /really/ be awkward if say (hope he doesn't mind me using his character) Berrod opened a chakra and did the same thing? Id understand going wtf if Aaron did that because he's half Raus size but I wouldn't see anything weird if a known powerful Highlander like Berrod did it.
Im curious to the replies.
I'll bite (to no one's surprise).
A lot of these questions have to be answered personally. Weapons cutting through steel? Some people will not bat an eye, others will wonder why anyone bothers wearing armor. I'm of the opinion that those scenes are done for the spectacle of the fight - these characters are also Main Characters so they should be allowed to also do crazy bullshit. That's likely the most clear dividing line though: As roleplayers, are we also the main character?
Raubahn kicks a pillar, breaking it clean off and using it as a projectile. Could Berrod do it? I don't know, is Berrod on Raubahn's "level" so to speak? Thancred cut through armor with knives - is Aaron on Thancred's level? It's kind of a polarizing discussion. Most people I know are firmly decided on one or the other; You don't get a lot of instances of people waffling on how superheroic their characters are. You've got the folks going "yes, I am playing Devil May Cry all the time" and you've got the folks going "No, leave me and my flock of sheep alone, this winter has been a hard one."
Both are equally correct ways to interpret things.
