Wait, what happens if it hits the Fate components of a bracelet? Seeing as its a false-vacuum decay, wouldn't making it act realistically cause it to expand at c-faction speeds and kill everyone? Also, what would maximum intensity do? Acknowledge someone as a fictional character and revert them to text and concept?

Would it also negate stats and have actions based on logic? That is, is someone's physical build shouldn't let them have that much strength, their effective strength is lowered to that value?

How about just a field where in which @Xantalos gets to choose what the fuck happens? That could be amusing. Especially when every single ird turns into a parrot seeing as they have feathers and beaks.

That'd be boring since I have a deep seated wish for everything and everyone in the ROTMG verse to never have existed.
So technically he'd have Balefire, I guess.

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
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).
And subsequently less so against any Xantalos-expy (ensemble darkhorse effect), Meme (see Xantalos-expy) and Neferis.

That's going to turn into the thing Wwolin's personal text references, isn't it? The thing where people get stabbed by text or somesuch.

As for lack of godtier characters.....well, technically the only 'god-tier' characters there are are Dragon!Stella, anyone short of Abraxas Anima controls, and Kyle in a mecha. Nobody really has any god-like powers, short of Anima (true naming) and Nodoka (Void gate shenanigans). And Marie, but it's Marie and your mind makes it real.

All of which are likely more vulnerable to OOC and reality shivs.

Hmm... could be a rather useful character to have around... if a plot starts turning into a disaster, the OOC criticism should be enough to power up their attacks for a clean kill of the relevant parties.

...

Shys'Caem'Goddamnname is on that list, right. You know, God herself. And what about all the little-g gods that like to hang around the castle? Or the horse-people of the apocalypse?

EDIT: Also, Neferis would be pretty vulnerable to an OOC-critism field.

Shys'm Caes isn't even a PC anymore, and I did say anyone except Abraxas was god-tier. The Horsepeople aren't really godly, either; they're pretty damn powerful, true, but not gods.

Hainuwele being normal sized,
Want me to give you a brief, simplified biology lesson in the course of suggesting alternatives?

Or impaling them upon blades of OOC-criticism that increase in power the more aspects of realism they break?
Because that's not subjective and doesn't require a detailed analysis of the OOC thread(s).

How about just a field where in which @Xantalos gets to choose what the fuck happens? That could be amusing.
Um, no.

As for lack of godtier characters.....well, technically the only 'god-tier' characters there are are Dragon!Stella,
Wait, why is she god-tier?

Dragon.

Self-explanatory. Unless something, I dunno. I rarely see her around anyway.
