Ed's Notes: Yes, in the DCU, death's avatar is not some great, shadowy, skeletal demon in black robes... It's a cute Goth Chick. And no, I've double checked, those AP rating are all accurate. No typo's. Death is THAT powerful.

Do you think it would be better to have the Endless have a misc Drawback indicating that they don't get involved in earthly affairs readily, or is this better served as a general trope of the DCU?
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting point. To some extent I think it comes done to the writer/GM just knowing the characters and materials. (I think there was an example in one of the Rulebooks that said "You wouldn't see Darkseid ROBBING A BANK." And since even if the Endless HAD that drawback, and it would still be up to GM's discretion to waive it, I think it can be left off. And GM's would just need to understand where and how certain NPC's fit int the story. (And yeah, THIS ONE is obviously NPC-ONLY. Lol)
