Thieves do calisthenics. Fighters lift weights.
>>76944044paladins do CrossFit
>>76944044Calisthenics are harder than weights. You can start weights no problem if you weigh 300 lbs, calisthenics not so much.Also D&D rules are very US-culture-centric:>Strength is the same as power>Intelligence is the same as education>Parrying doesn't exist, only armor>Genetics (starting stats) is everything, you can't get stronger, faster or smarter by experience, only better at aiming and tougher
>>76944180>Calisthenics are harder than weights.idk why it's just tiny men and hippy ladies then
>>76944044>fighters lift weightsAsk me how I know you've never trained a combative art in your life
>>76944180everything you listed is wrong. Have you ever played D&D?
>>76944044>Thieves do calisthenicsGarret can do a pull up twice his weight (carrying a body) + equipment + literal swagThieves are gymbros.
>>76944213>I can lift 300 lbs!>...but can you lift your body?
>>76944249I can lift you, wizard.
let's see those strength scores>19
>>76944044>2eTrash, play a real edition like OD&D or B/X >>76944180Wrong, D&D has a ton of US-isms, like how the acquisition of wealth and resources directly translates to acquisition of social status and political power in terms of domain-level play; also the implied setting of D&D is much more akin to a Wild West frontier as opposed to medieval European polities. However, immutable values determined at birth is more European than US-flavored classical liberalism (ie the fundamentally American notion that basically anyone can do or be anything with enough grit and ingenuity). >>76944227>only ever played WotC, slop D&D editionsAnon's correct in terms ability scores of Str being power and Int being education; Strength directly corresponds to melee fighting ability and Intelligence is essentially just "stuff you know" (ie all Int-related skills in contemporary editions essentially are just tests to see if you know something; in all editions Int is related to how many languages you know).
>>76944044but the bards muscles are only for loving, not for fighting, thus spoke aniki from the isekai fitizen story
>gym goblins keep hogging the benchHow the fuck do I get them to leave they crowd it for like 2 hours while slapping each other on the back.
>>76945479>the fundamentally American notion that basically anyone can do or be anything with enough grit and ingenuityHoly shit, I never realized this was a general philosophy for Europeans. I guess the mindset of my European friends makes a lot more sense now. For example, my friend tells me that in Italy nepotism and status are what determine a person's success. It's such a foreign concept to me because my mindset has always been to pursue success with hard work and determination.
