I'm qualified, our brains would immediately stop functioning and that does tend to relieve anxiety.

Then your cells would die and plants wouldn't exist

It's never the real god, just a physical avatar. There's still a lot of Batman vs Superman narrative horseshit in the idea though

"Oh you surprised the guy who moves faster than most speedsters and can hear and see everything around him. Sure, okay, then he leaves and throws an asteroid he found within half a second from orbit before you're done blinking"

DnD avatars don't really scale that hard but neither do PCs so all of those fights revolve around the avatar being stupid or using a McGuffin

Okay you still die

It is actually bad game design in the sense that there really isn't a decent mechanic to escape monsters.

5.0 orcs, for example, had double the speed of the average PC with their dumbass free move action.

The solution is rolling disengage as a series of skill checks (like World of Darkness would...) but then you have to explain how, exactly, a dude in full plate escapes a dragon.

Just break up the Union at that point.

Or start shooting traitors. Either one.

Yeah but it's still obnoxious. I would bet it fucks with dyslexics as well.

How would they even know when they're using it to train bots?

1: Sell a bunch of tickets

2: Sink ship

3: Insurance pays out the finished value of the ship, obviously greater than building costs, plus you still have the ticket sales.

4: Guaranteed profits! Invincible even!

That's literally all human communication.
