Whatever you may think of the idea of martial characters in D&D or any other fantasy rpg basically doing sword magic, it is at least a lot more fun from a gameplay perspective than just going "I make an attack roll" every round.
False dichotomy, i can just "roll sword magic" every turn instead, making them functionally identical concepts unless distinguished in-system. Which system are we talking about again, by the way?
>>97840183>i can just "roll sword magic" every turn insteadhow many systems have you played where magic is always just a single roll with the same function each time it's used?
>succesful strength draining strikeYes, I guess being stabbed through the heart tends to leave you weakened after

>>97840158>basicallyThis is a word that's been driven into meaningless babble by retards who think being reductive is a substitute for an actual argument.For example, if someone describes a function in a game as "basically magic" but that function doesn't behave like magic does in that game, that someone is a reductive retard.
>>97840158>it is at least a lot more fun from a gameplay perspective than just going "I make an attack roll" every round.This is the core failure of game design, explanation of rules and gm incapability to explain to retarded players. Combat should never have been condensed into bit sized single roll is a single attack segments. The attack roll should always be a series of manoeuvres, strikes and melee. The mechanical effects have to mesh with player and gm description that incorporates contextual factors like terrain, approach, equipment, health, opponents, etc. If your combat is boring its because you're boring and play shit games.
