Well he was probably only a tier below him. He had average speed, strength, but above average durability for his tier.


The Necroloth took Sigurd's best hit to the face and it barely cracked his mask, I think it's fair to say the difference in their strength was palpable.

Not even mentioning the flying hands. Fucking flying hands.

I made a character pretty much completely based around two giant floating hands used as weapons, I deemed him too OP for further use after one fight.

Oh, by the way, anyone up for a non-ranked sparring match? I got Athinar up, so if anyone wants to battle, I'm game.

I've been looking for a fun fight as my current fights are fairly high-octane, which aren't the best places for silly experimentation. Would you be alright with fighting me? I can find a character to match you and you can take a look.

Quick issue though, your CS isn't very specific. For example, he is able to increase his physical stats by double, but as far as I could tell you never actually said what they are at a base rate in his powered form.

Were they armored hands? It seems odd that something like that would be OP.

They could become intangible, my character manipulated them like magical puppets and they drained the life and energy from anything they touched, on top of being incredibly strong and durable, and quickly regenerated if they became inoperable.

The issue is that an opponent couldn't really tangle with the hands, but one could easily be used to defend the fairly weak puppet-master while the other could throw an opponent about. Once you're grabbed by something like that your options are ultimately limited.

Yeah, Khan's a liar, in terms of pure volume of fights he probably has more than anyone here.


Mhmm.

All worth it to get Senpai Skallagrim to notice me.

Also calling it now, Fallenreaper is probably secretly Lyzan.

Proof anything to do with incorporeal can be very unbalanced. One of the reasons I don't use a Sand Wraith character of mine from Old-guild.

Sure, I'd be cool with that. Lemme take a look, and we can start working on a basic concept.

Ah, okay. I'll put the base ability in. Thanks for noticing!

I'll keep that in mind. Namely as I manage to start them but can't get them finished. -_- Oh, correction I did finish, sort of, a match with Yosh. Jackels and The Flame character from the same universe though there's no CSes posted.

Though, my thoughts about Khan's skeleton all PC was it felt it was higher than a T-6 or at least what I expected for one. Then again, that's just my opinion after I read some of the CS.

Anyway back to writing up Virska...

Yes. I can see how intangible regeneration could be problematic.

Check that post for my edited in question on your character's powered form.

You had to bare in mind that the hands weren't actually the target, but ignoring the hands inevitably left you outflanked, it was a hard situation for any character to be in. Though a speedster of his tier level could probably defeat Solomon.

It should be worth noting tier 6 is DBZ Andorid Saga strong.

Heck, Tier 5 is above the powers of Jedi Masters. And those chaps can move battlestar ships with their minds. (with general reflexes around Mach 30-40, I scarcely see any one with March one speed anything)

I'm not. Trust me, all girl here though I won't deny it was fun sending a car door through Lyzan's NPC's face in the fight. Sadly he ended up nailing me with a glass shard since Rach couldn't had trauma related to blades and like objects. XD So not sure who got the better of that deal.

@GreivousKhan@Fallenreaper When people say T-5, T-6, it reminds me of GURPS tech levels. Just sayin'.

Still, my instinct was screaming at it. Not to mention using only a few non original pcs and not listing actual ability example like what you stated doesn't give me an accurate image of the tiers. Part of the issue I have with tiers is they don't provide max or minimal stat deceptions to go off of for a player to ensure they aren't in the next tier.

Yeah, tier is a pain to work with, that's why we've gone with a more general system for this re-iteration and we're allowing people to balance fights themselves. Only tournament hosts have to work on balancing out more than two/four players, I pray for them. Metaphorically.

The issue with the Necroloth is it had very specific weaknesses that none of its opponents could exploit. That WOTW tournament was strange in that everyone brought in characters roughly around the T3 mark, with a few odd powers thrown in to mix things up, but for the most part everyone was from a sword-and-sorcery style background that gave the characters a good mesh. I suspect it was because Rilla hardcore nerfed firearms and other similar ranged attacks, essentially causing a really good balance of similar characters.

By accident I suspect, but I'll give Rilla props regardless.
