It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, you football tackles the held Riskel to the ground. Vax pummels riskel with the blunt end of his daggers.
DM: You can, by just controlling it with your mind. So I will say, go ahead and make an athletics check, just to--
Player: Strength or athletics?
DM: This'd be athletics. Athletics is better for you, technically.
Player: Yeah, it is. 20.
DM: Yeah. You lift him over your shoulder, past Pike. Take him out into the hallway. You gonna keep him on your shoulder? Or slam him down?
Player: Yeah, I was gonna slam him into the wall.
DM: Wham, whack, into the wall. Go ahead and roll 1d6 plus your strength modifier. For the sheer force of this, this near currently helpless individual slammed against the stone wall.
Player: Seven.
DM: All right.
