Hmm, regardless, thanks! I appreciate any help whatsoever
Insulting or not, as long as they legit try to help, I'd appreciate it. It's the insults for insults sake that bug me.
And yeah, overepowered is never good. Well, if you focus on the combat. It's the Superman problem, but that's something separate.
Anyways, I understand that, but it's hard to escape. Someone who can stand on the field of battle with Servants at all is severely overpowered in the context of a lot of other more 'reasonable' settings. Taking weaponry from a sci-fi setting and introducing it into a medieval, magical setting is overpowered, even if you remember that you have limited ammo and no infrastructure to take care of it. The ability to perform magic, even in a limited context, breaks assumptions and is overpowered in the same Sci-fi setting that you got the equipment from. And if
you were stuck in such a situation, wouldn't you go out of your way to get as many game-breakers as you could?
It's a natural consequence given enough time, and I can't really figure a logical way to avoid that
Okay, slight lie, I have
one idea, but it'd be a massive pain to keep track of. My best bet so far is that in universes which he's not actually 'summoned', he's stuck with the body that he had upon summoning. That and after a certain point, he starts getting
squeezed into the Servant container like proper Heroic Spirits are due to having too much power for the HGW system to handle. I actually asked in another thread for when that'd be appropriate to do and suggestions on how best to do it.
(Funnily, Saber still could beat him. I didn't even intend for it, but she can still beat him even without Avalon. This amuses me endlessly for no good reason.)
