All you’ve been doing was calling a power a headache or too weak. If all I’m presented with is “it doesn’t work because it does what it’s supposed to” then of course I’m going to defend it. Perhaps you don’t understand what I’m going for.

That’s something I’m working on, trying to explain things coherently with less words.

This is more in line of what I’m looking for, thank you. 

I’m not going to push my first character. I mainly want his power to not be misunderstood. He’s not from another RP, his story is those RPs, but I digress. 

The second character, your explanation is the point. Not to obstruct the Rp, but to influence the story. I can see Silver Sun using that as an advantage to move on and perhaps gain a victory from those challenges if presented as you described. I defend him because the argument against it has not differed from yours. From a story telling perspective it’s a good fit. I’m willing to compromise with him if I can keep some element of anti-magic. Two compromises I’ve thought of is limit his powered gained, or make it work on a give and take situation where he can only absorb so much, but uses it whenever he does something, like attack. Otherwise I’m going to move on. 

Understood on the third character, I can improve upon him as necessary to better his strength and story. 

Fourth character fits in with the second in my opinion, hence the self restrictions. I was trying to find a happy medium and undershot. The restrictions can be tweaked, but I’d prefer the GM to give me an idea where that could be. 

As for my latest, I don’t think so. He can amend that problem, but he can’t solve it. Also he won’t be satisfied. He’ll want to take root as close to the center as possible. If the Silver Sun decides to settle where they are, he’d move forward on his own. Also revived plant life will not live long in such bad soil. Theoretically if he goes, so does the farmland. Alternatively I can tune back his revival abilities. Perhaps he can only revive a plant if there is a part of it still living. I’m willing to tweak these powers as well, I just need a sense of scale preferably from the GM.
