"If you kill a man, you scorn his wife. If you kill his wife, you scorn her child. If you kill her child, you scorn his village. If you kill his village, you scorn the kingdom. If you kill the kingdom you scorn an empire. If you kill an empire, then who is left?"
@TheUnknowable No man, that's broken. A broken character has a mechanic that is unfun, basically. If they get it off, the character is OP and nobody in the same weight class can compete. If they can't get it off, the character is underpowered. Anyone above their weight class wouldn't let them get it off.
I'd recommend reading through some of the character sheets in active fights to see what I mean.
@TheUnknowable She's a vocal caster with no enhanced physical abilities. While she has potential for great power, she stands no chance.
The fastest I can say those powerful spells is like, 30 seconds, which is more than enough time for any mid tier character to close the gap and knock her block off.
A couple unbalanced spells doesn't make a character OP, it makes them broken.
