I don't understand what your problem is. I mean, why can't there be characters with repeating abilities?
Special snowflakes, considering that this approach is noticeable and relatively common.
or why your character should be overpowered
We will have battles. They always exist. If a character is strong, they have a higher chance of surviving the battle. And this effectiveness of the character doesn't harm the role-playing aspect. If you don't like analyzing, Ar, that doesn't mean others can't. The point is to have fun, in the end.
Revan, doesn't light armor reduce speed? What is its approximate protection range? Does the armor stack with the Ice Armor enchantment? Do they work separately? Or do they not affect each other at all?
It's not necessary to create an overpowered unit for battles, which can negatively impact role-playing and other aspects. Besides, combat isn't always the only solution.
The only problem for those who play aggressively is psychological: you become less cautious and constantly risk dying (which often happens in the end). Otherwise, there are no downsides, only advantages. And it's much more interesting to play this way than when you're surrounded by only Attaraxians and Setta-nomicon users, who either one-shot you or "kite" you because you can't do much yourself.
You don't necessarily need to create an overpowered character for combat, while sacrificing role-playing elements, etc.
Aretz, you should at least read the posts before responding to them.
And combat isn't always the only solution.
Aretz, we've never had situations here where there are absolutely no battles. This is almost as naive as hoping for the usefulness of skills like Zoologist.
Overpowered characters only have one problem, a psychological one: you behave less cautiously and constantly risk dying (which often happens in the end).

This.
I hope this applies to melee combat, right?
Yes, I already asked Revan. Unfortunately, the shots are so powerful that you won't be able to make their head explode like an overripe watermelon. At least, not with this skill.
This is almost as naive as hoping for the usefulness of skills like a zoologist.
Monsterologists and zoologists know the approximate parameters and characteristics of the respective creatures, so it may be useful, depending on the location.
Zetsumei. The selected character dies. The target has +10 to magic resistance. 100
As I understand it, this spell is likely an equivalent to a spell that also works at a distance. To protect yourself, you need to have high magic resistance.
Beheading. The next attack on the character, if it hits, will be fatal. 5 Action Points. x2
Requires 5 Action Points, 2 Order Units, and being in melee range, as well as a successful attack. To protect yourself, you need high dodge (and maybe even parry and block).
Okay. W – saving throw is magic resistance E – saving throw is evasion of targeted spells
All damage reduction does not add up, but is applied sequentially. For example, a character has heavy armor for -50% damage, an ice armor, and an experience with endurance ability of 20. He receives 1000 units of physical damage: -40% (ice armor is applied before regular armor) = 600 - 50% = 300 - 20% (experience is applied last, as it is essentially a reduction of the final damage) = 240.
QUESTIONABLE POINT: Can fire spells counter cold spells, and can water spells counter fire spells (unfreeze/extinguish) – I haven't decided on this yet. It seems logical to some extent, but if such things are allowed, then other similar situations may arise.
Runes. To use runic magic, the following is required: 1. The presence of a forge nearby, ready for use. 2. The character must have runic stones. 3. 50 units of magical energy for one use.
To use seal magic, the character must also have specially prepared paper talismans. This type of magic came from Tao and spread widely in Illianar, and later in other countries.
Warriors also have regular attacks
There is indeed a meaning to this. Because in the case of a warrior, beheading is an ultimate action, in addition to which there are other ways to kill.
Just like with a warrior, decapitation is the ultimate action, but there are other ways to kill.
Moreover, a warrior with maximum wisdom can perform six such attacks. If they also invest in cunning, they can perform seven. And if they are also a dark elf, considering their cunning, they can perform as many as ten. And the chances of missing or being parried will be quite low, considering the 50% bonus to accuracy. Add to this a very useful ability called "Reaping." If the character has at least eighteen wisdom, successful kills won't even consume one action point (OD). So, I wouldn't underestimate the effectiveness of decapitation. You can build an entire character around this ability. Max out dexterity, increase wisdom to eighteen, and invest the remaining points in health or speed. In addition to the necessary "Reaping" and "Decapitation," you can take "Death's Embrace" and "Blood Mark." Spend your second specialization point on earth magic and learn the "Shield" spell there; with your wisdom, you should have four hundred and twelve mana points, which is more than enough for top-tier resistance. Such a shield will cost you three hundred and forty mana points, meaning that in ten rounds, at least nine deaths should occur, which is a piece of cake with your ability. The character isn't perfect; they are somewhat weak against mages and possibly archers, but they pose a huge threat to practically any melee fighter.
