Suspension of Disbelief

Paladins don't necessarily work with the supernatural. Most just prevent man-to-man crime and the like. Most of them are affected by the Disbelief because they are still technically human. However, I could imagine an elite group of paladins that work as supernatural hunters or grimms, definitely.

And all these plot ideas sound awesome, but it sounds like we'll need more players to carry out most of them.

Characters growing in power without getting OP?

The problem, in my opinion, is very rarely the power itself. The real problem with an overpowered character is both the character itself and its player.

So, if you want to prevent a character from becoming OP, play him right. Anticipate the growth when you "start low," and make him right. For example, Batman. He doesn't have a super power, but roll with me. Now this guy could easily put a permanent end to crime in Gotham City...Except he doesn't kill. He has a character trait that prevents him from using all of his potential strength. That gives this character an eternal struggle of finding balance. How boring would it be if Batman just killed all his problems? His story line would end too quickly, quite frankly. Lame.

Sometimes you don't need to balance physical strengths with physical weaknesses (but this does help). Sometimes giving a character all the power in the world, but the personality and morale to use that in his own unique way is just the way to go.

There are probably plenty of issues with this way of thinking, but it's what I think, haha. Plus, it helps it always helps to add weaknesses as well. No matter how strong a person gets, he will always have flaws. Exploit them.

Everyone's Corner

Oh, nice. :D

And I've been on RPG for only about a month, but I've been role playing for about ten years now.

When do you consider an RPG to be "Dead"?

When the GM gives up.

No way, screw that. A role play is a group effort. Letting it die because of one person is stupid, no matter who that one person is. It's a lot harder without the GM, I'll admit, but it's still doable, and it'll get easier with time.

So... How Do OC Characters Work...?

Oh, yeah, of course. If you rather make a new character, then go for it. :D

I have a premise, but need some help developing a plot

Hahaha xD Okay

You guys get the links?

Suspension of Disbelief

Hmmm, I'm sure we can work something out if we put our heads together.

The Family That Slays Together

Kiara sighed. "Okay," she muttered to no one in particular as she walked into the school. "I got history first," she added dejectedly. "See you guys at lunch." She managed a small smile and waved at her siblings before venturing off into the halls toward her first class.

Powerless

Ughh, I'm sorry. I can't figure out what to post at all, haha. And I'm not really feeling my character either. Think I'll be dropping for now, so feel free to give my spot away. (I'll stay subscribed to the CS thread in case you do.)
