It's okay.... I'm going to make a new sheet with completely defined abilities.

Melon, he will need a job in your bar though probably as a cook. Don't worry he has all the right spices! And he cooks good noodles.

@Enki
There's a difference between Vague descriptions of manipulation of basic magics to vague descriptions of physiological and psychological ability.

Vague descriptions generally spells out a broad coverage of that form of magic. Since most folks understand that form of magic, we get the concept. We can trust that they won't do anything outside of the boundaries of that magic because we all KNOW the boundaries.

See?

But the problem is. With just one ability, we get one big problem. Let's take a look:
-----Enhanced senses- It could be said that due to this new spiritual awakening a new sense of awareness was born. Exact details are unknown at this time.

This could literally mean anywhere from seeing at 2x human reaction speed to literal precognition. You quite literally gave no details. In fact you mentioned that you're not giving details.

See the problem here?

@LeeRoy

It was probably a throwback to old days when everyone was trying to trick peoples senses. Also that never works anyway.

Also sensing the future is silly. It also never works because the other guy can just switch what's he's doing and then it just gets tossed into a loop.

It's basically saying his senses are tied to his soul. So he can see the world around him through it, I understand it might be a weird concept here.

But I still stand by the fact nothing is wrong with any of these sheets if you let Corbin in.

You have the right to disagree but that doesn't change the feeling of a chunk of the people in here

<Snipped quote by Negatomsk>

I said I don't care that she is overpowered (it's not like I'm forced to fight it), I didn't say I wasn't going to defend my claim that she's overpowered.

For the record, the reason why I care is because I've seen four (maybe five, can't remember) of these Multiverse re-iterations fail, and it's almost always down to the same reason. One person enters a high tier character, and it causes some kind of ridiculous arms race where everyone then follows suit. High tier characters then saturate the world, and high tiers suck for RPing, and all the lower tier players wonder what the point is when high tiers are everywhere and can do four or five times what they can with a wave of their hand, then everyone loses interest, arguments break out over OP characters, GG.

That's been the formula for the last four Multiverses, so I had this crazy idea, what if people refrain from entering the most powerful characters possible from the outset, and make characters that fit the context of the wider player base? Wouldn't that be great.

Unfortunately, I don't hold out much hope, but you never know.

@MelonHead

This actually makes sense. None of us were gonna put in these characters till Corban got accepted. That's the fact and truth of it. I was fine with Jen until I seen that, and then the others wanted to join in the OP sheninagins.

Blood and Metal (Enki,) (Enki vs. Chico)

Tuesday morning I will be able to post again so if you want to reply you can.

@LeeRoy.
You greenlighted divs Corban sooo....I don't see a problem here?

The World of War: Central Hub/Main Thread/Chen's Tavern

It's okay, we were sent here on a mission from God to show you a better way.

The World of War: Central Hub/Main Thread/Chen's Tavern

I mean, we can do it your way and then we could just compare sheets and mathematically figure out who would win each match and not even have to rp it out! Absolutely ridiculous.

The World of War: Central Hub/Main Thread/Chen's Tavern

Well good sir, I could circle logic it back the other way just as easily. I'll just leave it as we disagree.

You can have your opinion and I will have mine.

The main point of a sheet is to get a broad idea of what they capable of. Asking to sit there and describe out how each and every elemental arc slash works is ridiculous when you can just put, he is able to produce arcing slashes of elements. It gets right to the point, there is an arced slash.

Everything else is description from the actual post.

I think the definition of super speed needs to be established.

@Enki
You are absolutely ready to go.

@LeeRoy

I asked if Alex was ready to go and you responded with this. So......that's weird!

The entire point of a sheet is to give a idea what a character can do not spell out every single little thing. That leads to metagaming. If two guys just meet they shouldn't know every inch of their repertoire unless they are familer with each other.

They know what they can sense, power gathering, glowi g effects, projectiles coming at them, or pointy sticks of metal that have a bladed edge sent their way.

The "powersuit" is basically the size of a gundam. Now if you think I'd actually drop a gundam on someone who doesn't have also some large scale shit then you are questioning my integrity.
