Nope. For example, I play ALOT of magic using types in whatever game I
play. Not always, but more often than not. However, when the list gets
into the debates on whether magic in real life is real and exists or not, I
am FIRMLY on the side of no magic exists. Being a physicist, I believe
there are laws and theorys that explain everything, and that magic has no
part of it. (I am not trying to start a debate; those are just my views,
and help make a counterpoint to your point)
In addition, I am a big, strong person, maybe slightly clumsy, but not very
much. I often play rogue/theifly types, small and quick.
On the other hand, I do see your point, and it does happen alot in gaming.
