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]

Me: …WAIT.

My party: 

DM:

Me: I pull.

DM: The doors swing open.
