Context: We’re in a shrine trying to open a set of doors. We have a Goliath sorcerer (me), human warlock, tiefling fighter/bard, human cleric, three gnomes (wizard, rogue, ranger), and a half-orc barbarian.
Me, the sorcerer: I push the doors.
DM: They don’t move.
Me: …How heavy are they?
DM: Uhh… let me check… About 700lbs.
Me: I can push that, yeah.
DM: I don’t think you can.
[Brief delay as I pull out the Goliath traits]
DM: Okay, that’s fair. It still doesn’t open for you.
Barbarian: I push the doors.
DM: It doesn’t open for you, either.
[Another brief delay as we try to puzzle this out]
