Points at Kyle and the fact he even has a patron craftsman god with how much he builds.

Hmm. Does Kyle use magic or is he capable of doing so?

First, it's not a matter of copying anyone, I just want a character who solely relies on wit and tact rather than magic. Someone who has to. Because honestly, that kind of hero isn't seen enough.

Man, that does sound pretty awesome. You should totally do it, just to see what happens.

And how so?

You only stop magic when it touches so. So, a mage could always fry you by heating up the air around you. Or enchanting stones to chuck themselves at you at high speeds. Or create clouds of poisonous gas, etc, etc. Lots of ways.

Hmm. But there's no "grit, spit, and duck tape" types who actually have to work for results and who actually have knowledge of how to take things apart and put them back together is there? No engineers or anything?

Kyle, technically, and Annabelle kinda does that too, though she hasn't done that much. Definitely room for another engineer or two though.

Kyle uses whatever the hell he wants, more or less.

Hmm. Ok. What about a character who was immune to all magic at the cost of never being able to use any that was only average in most skills and traits? ( Min-maxing for the win. XD lol. )
Less useful than it sounds.
Take an example. My original character, Angel, has the ability to create and control fire. Pretty simple--you can't get burned by magical fire. But, you can be burned by superheated air. And Nuriel is pretty much the single least flexible character.
It would help against direct enchantments, curses, and idiots, but that's about it.

Hmm. But there's no "grit, spit, and duck tape" types who actually have to work for results and who actually have knowledge of how to take things apart and put them back together is there? No engineers or anything?
Kyle works with hardware.
My current main character, Will, really has to work for results. He knows stuff, but aside from that, he's normal. Not even above-average physically.

Ok.... Thank you guys for rapid-fire posting so fast it won't let me reply. Yea, I realize it. It's supposed to be a disability, not an asset. That's the whole basis of his character is working around not having godlike powers and still being able to keep up.

Eh. There are better ways to play that. Like, a 100% normal human.

Meme does pretty much that as her whole thing is she can control temperature in small-ish areas for about 10 seconds tops. Otherwise shes just a toddler that no nice person would hurt... who can now fly around anywhere with lots of vertical obstructions... and has 'choking' dust.

How about expanding the chars ability a little. Instead of just being immune to magic, he actively negates it - his ability is basicaly to make the enemies just as mundane as he is, drag them down to his level. Like, generating a field of mundanity

possibly even to extreme levels.


Like, Angel, instead of being possessed by the fire demon Nuriel, suddenly just has epilepsy. ICARUS being barely able to walk upright or grasp objects without breaking them. Hainuwele being normal sized, etc etc. In that case, better make it some sort of simplicity beam, aimed at a target

Or impaling them upon blades of OOC-criticism that increase in power the more aspects of realism they break? Not just physics but also logic, expected behavior of civilians in present circumstances, economics, legal factors, etc.

So for example, if they were present during the angels plot, the arguments with players and GM's dissatisfaction with @Rag's ruling on the beam would have amounted to a massive meta-shiv of deus ex machima, or if a fight took place near the Wall of Stars, they'd receive a power boost simply from @GWG's previous arguments with @Akroma over them.

Though they would, as a consequence, be more significantly more effective against fingerlings (@GWG and @Akroma argued over their biology, their biology is not realistic, they lack a proper evolutionary niche, etc) and Ashley (@Elf disliked the ideas of triple forms, double powers and especially the immortality effect).

It can be tuned to different intensities but the higher the intensity, the narrower the area of effect.
