@mattmanganon I'm sorry to say that I don't consider that to be a valid argument. When one character is clearly going to be overpowered for no other reason than "plot" then other players are prone to losing their motivation to continue playing. After all, what's the point in trying if you already know a specific character is just going to magically be stronger for no justifiable reason whatsoever? There's adhering to a narrative, and then there's just asking me to accept something that is flat out impossible.

@mattmanganon Maybe the Galick Gun isn't as important but it's still an absurd pill to swallow. Saiyans have absolutely zero respect for anyone that isn't one of them. That goes double for Vegeta in particular. And you failed to answer my second point regarding skill over power levels. If skill really does trump battle power, then riddle me this, Batman: Where was Zhao when Planet Vegeta was blown up? Why didn't she just march on up to Frieza and whoop his ass because of all her skill and training somehow being more effective than Frieza's power level?
@Midnighwolf Accepted.
Right, because Saiyans were well known for having an Earthling woman they worshipped like a deity and learned all their martial arts from despite being several times more powerful than her. Also she invented the Galick Gun instead of Vegeta... Because.
I know skill a thing but it doesn't just completely invalidate power levels, especially when the difference is that huge. Otherwise Goku should have beaten Frieza no problem because he trained all his life while Frieza at that point never trained a day of his life.
But whatever, I'm not the one in charge here.

@Raptra Accepted, and I already know exactly how that town got demolished to boot. But you'll find that out later, of course. *whispered tone* It was a Fable!... <_<
@Eric Horst Those are all good. When I get a chance to, I'll make a 0th post in the character tab for keeping track of the NPCs and whatnot.
And just so everyone else knows, NPC's don't need to have full character sheets. Just some brief descriptions of what they're like and maybe some personality as well. They are just NPC's at the end of that day.

Because they show up once and aren't that threatening. Memes about then killing Yamcha aside, the only threat is the kamikaze move they pull.
So then we just make them a bit stronger than they are in canon? I mean we did that Raditz so... why not? Plus we could take a page from the video games and incorporate the different colors to distinguish which ones are stronger than others. We have the options, so why not use them?

Preferably I would like to see some more earth based characters right now. As for tail transformations I will say that the moon has already been blown up
But... then how did Yang transform and accidentally kill his mom? Unless you're saying the Moon was destroyed sometime after that?
Everyone always forgets the Saibamen... :3
@Eric Horst I'm not gonna lie, you had me going there with that line about "cracking his first big case at age 15" and I thought for sure I was looking at some Detective Conan level prodigy... and then I read the rest of that paragraph. Well played. Accepted.
Also that's the second character sheet out of four that include a blight in the backstory. I only mention this because I made no mention of any plague like that in the OP post. That's a good thing by the way. It gives me ideas for backstory and lore to add to the setting as we go along. Kudos to you guys.
On that note, everyone feel absolutely free to make up some places and citizen NPC's for Ravenport. Whether they're just neighbors who live nearby, or some pub or shop your character frequents on a regular basis, go ahead lay em on me. The more life and personality we give to the city, the better, since fair warning: we're going to be spending large chunks of time within the game's narrative in Ravenport. It's basically our own little home city of hub of activity, and even when cases take us out to other locations, we'll still be reporting back to Ravenport when those cases have been finished.

@Eric Horst Yes, of course there is.
@Raptra It's good but... I don't know I'm not seeing how this version of the tale is any different from the classic version. Remember that the point of this setting is that the Tales are all re-imagined as horror stories. Your version of Jack and the Beanstalk is... not really all that horrifying.
