In his description, a player wrote his character has the ability to "change reality" and "stop time"
OK, yes, I am aware that he was d*cking with me on purpose, but how would the CWotL respond?
Re "change reality"
I played along, allowing that perhaps he could do so, but the resistance
roll for reality-changing would be the world-standard for anything of
consequence and short duration, increasing severely for changing anything
that either had been "real" for a long time, or that he wanted to stay
"changed" for a long time.
I didn't really have a problem with that (in a sense, it's kind of a cool concept), but I do have a problem with the scope of such a thing. I mean, it could be used for ANYTHING. Would you just say "you can't and that's that"?
re "stop time"
OK, again assuming one would accept this, what would be the result in GAME
terms? You're having a fight with Old Perk the Troll, and you succcefully
stop time. What happens game-mechanically? Do you get an augment like
anything else? That seems pretty wimpy result for otherwise mondo cool
ability.
Just posing the questions to the list. We went on with character creation and he dropped the ideas (mainly due to peer pressure from the other players, not DM fiat) but it got me thinking.
Thanks for your opinions!
