I understand that, and the reasoning behind it, applying it to everything still seems odd, its like saying "Ok your character is x so must be y" its deliberately limiting, it also extends the LoEE far beyond it's actual meaning and perverts it into something it is not.

I think it's to compensate for the fact that this RP might wind up having two players actually fight each other to the death, till injury, or till a point of strategic victory.

It's honestly not fun when when you're rolling with a more mundane character that's been through hell and back, and has been knocked around for the past few months. To fight someone who's bordering the lines of a god by simply swipping his weapon through the air, and ignoring any form of armor like butter. Leather and Quilted armors are harder to get through than people think. Yet swords tend to treat chainmail like a joke.
