Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anabstercorian" data-source="post: 2972719" data-attributes="member: 2550">Balance-wise I can't call heads or tails for this, but thematically, it's perfect.  How can you destroy death?  You cannot throw me in to the abyss, you cannot consign me to oblivion, you cannot scatter me to the farthest reaches or condemn me to the gaping maw of un-existence.  These places are my home, these briar patches are my bread and butter.  You cannot end me.  I die through existence and you cannot end either.I would say that you could decide exactly what your opponents roll - or your allies, for that matter.  If you ARE the dice, you decide where you land, do you not?This is probably not well balanced, but it seems more thematic.Anyone who's damn fool enough to go up against their own body (for when you face Matter itself in battle, you would be dim-witted not to realize that you are a subset of that set) without extracting themselve from it and in to an immaterial form first deserves anything coming to them.If this doesn't sound fancy to you, realize that this means you can construct the various divine-equivalent technologies, of any scale, as a standard action.  Do you need to compress someone in to a white-hot sphere of death?  Rebuild the entire universe from the ground up in to an agony engine, with them at the core, and fire it up!  Once they're dead, turn it back, with no one the wiser - though they might have odd dreams for a while.  This is a BIG POWER.  It's totally appropriate for a supernal entity, but maybe TOO much, when you think about it. Sounds pretty good.  Virtually unstoppable - but only virtually.  All you need is a big enough crowd...Yeah, that's pretty weak.Bluntly put, the only force that should be able to effect Thought is an unthinking engine, mechanical and mindless.  Thought should be able to casually eradicate consciousness from it's foes, instill it in to it's allies (perhaps animating objects), and create astounding magical constructs in it's mind effortlessly.  You know that thing the Nexus Dragon does, with the reality alter power with all the spells for free?  Yeah, like that.  But bigger.</blockquote>
