Exalted is not like that at all. Exalted is a game about magic kung fu fighters. You cannot do many things you can do in Godbound in Exalted no matter how high your Essence is because there are no Charms for it and the mechanics of the system are bad. Try making a Craft Supernal - I have. I've also played a Lore Supernal and a Solar sorcerer. I find Exalted is trumped up far more than what it is in reality, which is a very fiddly combat game with bad subsystems for other things taped onto it. It's also not possible to do what you're suggesting in Exalted. You can't even create a new universe or make yourself a god, hell just getting immortality without drawbacks is nigh on impossible for even Solars. I'm guessing you're an autistic who just learned about the existence of Exalted and you're all hopped up with excitement about this media you've consumed, but you really have no idea what Exalted is like. I wager you've never even played it, you're just some pathetic wiki browsing retard.

I don't actually see how this is so confusing for you.

'>>92636413
Not it isn't. Sorcery is heavily limited and you cannot even have Solar Circle Sorcery, the only one worth a damn, in character creation. A Godbound at 1st level, immediately after character creation, before he's even actually a proper god and is merely a demigod hero, can manifest Miracles at will to rewrite reality. Exalted cannot do this ever, the closest they get is Sorcery which is not at all at will or convenient to use, which is capable of being disrupted and dispelled unlike Miracles, and which requires incredibly high investment of XP, not to mention possessing a high Essence rating, to even attempt. You have no idea what you're talking about at all. A homeless gutter mage in WoD has more potential than the highest Solar sorcerer. Exalted is not a game about playing godlike beings, it's a game about playing Chinesey martial artists with silly kung fu techniques, xianxia trash. It's of comparable power level to DnDogshit schlock though there is actually a way for high level DnD characters to become gods and create their own universes, which Exalted cannot do.';

They can't "agree to disagree" because one of them is just completely fucking wrong.

More to the initial point, pure creation and pure destruction isn't even in the powerset of ANY of the exalted or even the deities.

Exalted is "very high power" compared to something like Shadowrun, I guess. 90% of all power Exalts can wield is just combat power, the superpower for Bureaucracy Supernal Solars is being able to store a handful of successes on tasks for the organization you're managing, that's not even supernatural let alone godlike. Exalted is a game for doing over the top extremely Chinese kung fu fights, that's all it does. They consider the equivalent to a Melee Supernal in regards to the managing of businesses and nations to be a guy who is pretty okay at being a project manager. It's lame and false advertising. Level 1 Godbound with Wealth Word can spawn gold at will, as much as he wants, he can buy anything that is for sale. Bureaucracy requires Essence 5 and loads of XP to match 1/1,000,000th of a neophyte Godbound. Godbound is not a good game, either, it just doesn't lie about the premise like Exalted does. In Godbound you get to play as an actually godlike entity which, as a baseline, runs at least one mortal society and can at-will conjure Miracles that can do anything within the purview of a Word they're bound to.';

I haven't played godbound so maybe it fails in the execution, but that's actually a pretty interesting piece of game design when you think about it.
A character with literally infinite wealth can only get any conflict in his life from the things that he wants that money can't buy him. The only problems he can face are ones that aren't solved by the thing he has infinite amounts of. It means that picking the wealth guy means that the game is actually the opposite of being about money, which is the opposite of usual game design (i.e if you pick a hacker you want the game to have hacking in it, if you play a detective you probably want the game to have crime in it).
Is there a level 1 violence godbound type that can instantly kill anyone they want with telepathy or something? Because that would be amazing. Picking the guy who is perfect at violence defaults the campaign to be not about violence since he has no conflict getting himself the things that violence can get him. A perfect killer character would have a story where the conflict is by necessity non-violent.';

Wealth Godbound can create riches (indeed, most things) at will but it doesn't necessarily lead to good outcomes. Flooding markets with gold and precious stones you conjure at your fingertips creates economic chaos and doesn't especially enhance your purchasing power beyond merely having the most money in the market, so Wealth Godbound don't usually actually do that. There are multiple Words with Gifts that allow you to trivially kill people, notably Sword has a gift that causes you to automatically hit and deal maximum damage to enemies. Damage in Godbound is measured in HD, so 4 Damage is 4 Hit Dice of damage, meaning Sword Godbound can kill essentially any mundane human without any effort or roll, and even powerful heroes and monsters can be killed instantly. Theres also a mechanic in Godbound called Fray Damage which happens at the end of your turn and is just automatic AoE damage you do to enemies because you're godlike and combat is trivial for you, even if you have no "combat" words. Indeed, all Godbound can use generic Miracles to Smite their enemies.

The enemies you're meant to fight are things like monsters from beyond creation, rival Godbound, angels, and demiurge-like entities called Made Gods. Things like Liches, Ancient Dragons, and Archmagi are appropriate foes for Level 1 Godbound in combat. But Godbound isn't really a combat game, it's far too simplistic to have satisfying tactical combat. It's a game about competing cults, nations, and ideologies where two characters may both have the same stupidly broken abilities but use them in opposite ways, leading to a natural source of conflict.';

'There is a certain hatedumb towards high-powered characters. I think Exalted handles it pretty well. I remember Heroes Unlimited having an Author Filibuster about how terrible high-powered characters are, and how such games and comics and books automatically have no story, and no characterisation is possible, and I thought, why is this prick writing a super-hero game? He obviously hates the genre.
Stuff like the entire cape genre and the subgenres like Cosmic and gods from myth and Silver Age power levels, the Cultivator genre, SF like the Culture series, a lot of the really OP myths from history, Kaiju and Dragonball, Blame!, One Punch Man, all that proves if you can't write a story with high power levels, it's just your lack of imagination, and I think the same goes for roleplaying.

The power levels on anima, specially at the lore level, are really fucked up. See that kaiju or even the satan equivalent capable of destroying the world (lvl 16)? Those are NOTHING on the powerscale.

You first have "regular" characters and npcs, usually scaling up to those beings, capable of soloing cities and probably countries. Then you have the Powers in the Shadows, who's power level of a single regular soldier is level 12, and they have lots of them and could deal with all these world threating monsters in a heartbeat, but they don't want and most of the time (specially satan, as they caused it) can't. Why? Because there is another power tier on top of them, the beryls and shahads, something akin to the "gods" of the setting. These and the powers in the shadows are in a sort of cold war, actually the powers in the shadows trying to eliminate the beryls and shahads without them noticing. The satan was a byproduct of one of those attemps, they can't let the beryls and shads notice that because they could eliminate the powers in the shadow in almost a heartbeat. Then you have the bosses of the beryls and shahads, Gaira and C'iel, in short, those two were part of a giant cosmic war eons ago in which the forces of light and darkness battled. Remember the beryls and shahads? Those were the foot soldiers of that war, so just imagine the power level of Gaira and C'iel, who created and controled those. And ther might be another tier on top of those two, the Creator Gods, but it's unclear if those exist.

TL;DR: The power level of anima's setting goes beyond ridiculous.

I like the game a lot, but good lord the setting is a mess, thank god I don't play on it and use my own setting.';

Any setting can have absurd powerlevels in the background, but that's not important unless it's relevant to the PCs. Most parties will never reach a level where those forces are make a blip on the map, and even at level 20 at most you're dealing with the Powers in the Shadows. Beryl&Shajads/Gaira&C'iel will just never come up in an actual game besides Elan.

PCs have no actual in-game way to access Divine Magic/reach 40+ Gnosis without GM fiat, so anything above the Powers might as well not exist.';

This reminds me of why planeswalkers in MtG got nerfed post-Mending, they were too OP to represent with cards without breaking the game, but people still wanted planeswalker cards. Maybe there are beings or forces that force beings at the higher levels of power to limit themselves, could that keep OP’s scenario from happening?';

Seconding this ask. You can’t just say something like that and not give us the full story.

Like a logical extension of how just fighting enemies that you can take down in one hit gets boring fast, you mean. I can see that, yeah.';

>destroying a moon makes it an insane battle fantasy
Like almost every single major comic character has some type of cosmic form that's either universe destroyer powers or strong enough to break the 4th wall (no not like a joke 4th wall break, like a literal form of power scaling to be strong enough to break past the 4th wall)';

Unlike capeshitters, normal people don't dig for some bottom of the barrel fanfiction-adjacent noncanon spinoff liquid shit to use for their definitions of a character and then pretend it matters in discussions involving said character.';

Just saying, destroying a moon is already setting-destroying shit.

I prefer Dr Manhattan as the archetype of a character so powerful his mental state is barely human anymore.
Superman had to follow the same road, he look human, but barely anything link him to us baseline human.

Endgame Gina was fighting a mad previous universe that had killed every universe between it and us, and we were the last in line. Her previous incarnation in the preceding universe had failed miserably and got everyone she knew killed, but had left a vault of world-ending artifacts, each one of which was the equivalent of the Infinity Gauntlet, the Cosmic Cube, the Ultimate Nullifier, The One Ring, etc., and Gina-Prime eventually used them to turn her friends into Gurren Lagann scale cosmic gods the size of star systems who fought the mad universe's thrall villains while she ran the gauntlet to take the main villain with her, fighting them on every level and universe, backward and forward through time, playing four dimensional Xanatos speed chess while taking into account her friends' desperate heroic attempts to sacrifice themselves to stop her desperate heroic attempt to sacrifice herself to stop theirs.

Read it yourself, it's only 300 issues if you don't count the spin offs.

depends on the setting, i know settings that have plenty of moons, and a few of them even have their moons get destroyed and are still fine';

you get a reality-warper to deconstruct it at the atomic level or send it into the cornfield. maybe you get it to accumulate enough mass that it collapses into a singularity, or send whatever it's chasing into a black hole and hope it follows.
perhaps you simply destroy it's target before it arrives and then it'll fuck off without ripping your solar system apart? maybe if you ask REAL NICE the time-lord that sent it will call it off?';
