Lets face it, unless we're dealing with a DM who goes out of his way to balance things such that players are at most badass normals, players in D&D and by extension Pathfinder are like the super heroes of the setting. They have physical or magical strength that would on a bad day would still literally blow the minds of your standard townie NPC, whose death has yet to come at the hands of a house cat.
Essentially, you 'are' the avengers or some other group of extraordinary individuals who surpass normal conditions for human(or otherwise) capabilities.
