Karl continues sitting there watching TV.

I believe we are resetting the combat rules removing nonactive characters and starting a somewhat different world with the options for those being, everything was a simulation, everything was a simulation run by a demon, voidy things invade, and suddenly totalitarian government.

With a grunt and a wince Kyle pulls out his spear and uses the superior reach to stab a biter.

It's hard to tell from simply glancing at the rules, but I would guess a lot of the imbalances and such come from the fact that powers are rather arbitrary in how much energy they use and can be completely OP at times, forcing the GM to create horrifically powerful monsters which no one can beat as a counter?

Pretty much, yeah. Also, noncombat challenges aren't challenging due to other powers. (Such as the characters with vaguely-defined creation powers.)

Chunky salsa is a cool way to do damage in my opinion.

Not sure why though.

...
Well, whyever it is, I agree.

I saw someone in that list that could turn drawings into living 3d things. That power right there? TREMENDOUSLY OP in the right hands.

Focusing on this because it needs a bit more context, the only time she did manage to do it she passed out. And that was for a fairy. Not nearly as useful as you think it is. And the drawings take up massive amounts of energy for her to make since she is basically making something out of nothing. Although she can animate them in the pictures for less but... it's still a picture.

"It is just science and a bit of magic. Basically you're moving the little swirly things around the nucleus to other things to make a different object."

"That explains why you don't like being treated like that."

((I like the fact that being made of lava is normal for me but is enough to yell about in the status bar.))
