Heroic

Heroic Powers are non-magical powers that, while they would probably be supernatural in our world, are merely extraordinary in the world of fantasy. They are feats of strength, agility, intellect, etc. that are beyond the capabilities of normal people, but not so far beyond that they can't be achieved by a heroic adventurer.
