Heya, everybooty!
I'm currently (planning to somewhence start) writing a litRPG with MMO setting where the characters are all aware of how broken their own and the other's skills are. So how do I balance the power scaling when "Infinity" is just another number?
For example the antagonist has an ability called "promised victory", that well, promises him victory however he defines it. That one's pretty easy, tho since I can just let him win the battle, but lose the war.
My problem lies with my main characters. Especially with two of my protagonists.
My main protagonist has "Contract", the ability to form and force agreements with any living being that agrees to the term he lays out. I want him to be a summoner with a bit of Shaman King-style possesion (he grants his summons something they want and they give him part of their body).
The other one gets "Deus Mecanicus", the ability to build anything inorgarnic he can imagine given enough materials. From Magical Nukes to Gol-dams.
I plan to make them clash them over some farming area in some over the top shounen-esque war game, where both sides think they can't lose. My current plan doesn't work, though unless I add secondary abilities which would make the power scaling even more hilarious.
