Pretty much as soon as I finished my
post about Skill Checks, I started to think about doing something
similar for Fighters. As I was working on it though, I decided
against making it an 'official' rule, simply because of the different
ways people tend to fluff fighters and warriors. Some give them
supernatural demigod strength and endurance, and some do not.
Personally I would make a ruling for
out of combat super strength to be something like +2 to your strength
stat per Fighter level. So every 5 levels, your Fighter basically
gets as strong as another man. If the Fighter has average strength
himself, at level 45 he would finally be as strong as 10 men. Pretty
useful for mythical levels of strength.
Saving throws and hit dice already
allow every character to have a Feat of Fortitude; your characters
don't need to roll on a special table to prove they can jump off a
building and live; if you have enough health points you're already a
mythical survivalist.
This table is a secondary version of
Feats of Might using roll under, similar to Skill Checks.
