Give them the paranoid flaw and make it a roll-to-stop mechanic.

You say AC matters yet I'm willingly using a greatsword that lowers my potential AC by 1 so I can triple my damage output, curious.

Smaller idiot usually takes that role, but all are known to indulge

Corporate inclusion done right, how hard is that, Target? Just call your enby customers Targ... Wait, no.

There's nothing alt about them, they are the right base.

Not on a Superman or Wonder Woman level but I think you could make a strong argument that Wish fixes (or breaks) everything by itself.

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

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.

It's fictional. The "surveillance state" is "the writer's decisions."
