Which is my point, it's not a realistic or consistent fantasy setting. It is not even that original, considering they have initially borrowed from Tolkien and only backtracked on that because of a possible lawsuit.
I think we all agree on this but what’s this got to do with using 5e rules? Are you saying since the world is inconsistent, Larian should be able to do whatever they want? I’m just not following your point of view regarding this thread.
Larian is certainly breaking the rules that magnify the inconsistency. I can jump behind my opponent so now he’s off guard, swing my sword and eat a boars head like a power up all in one motion. Larian’s economy of action, even if the characters were superheroes borders on silly and ridiculous.
