Hey all! So hear me out. I've been inspired from a couple anime I've watched.

The first component is that my character, mentally (and probably physically) would be the real life isekai'd version of myself. Omitting any knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons. So, I would recognize that I've been reborn, and I would recognize fantasy concepts such as magic and other races. But I wouldn't specifically recognize that I'm in D&D. It would be my actual real life self, just boom, in another world. So for example if I run into an Elf, I'd go "Oh my God, it's an Elf! That's so cool! Are there Dwarves? I love Dwarves!"

As for the mechanics part. Again, being heavily inspired from a couple anime. One anime, the MC had the ability to sense hostile intent, and he could just instantly kill anyone he sensed that intent from, or anyone he could see. Now obviously, making this work for D&D with other real players would probably be a bit much. But another anime, the MC could do basically the same thing, except it was a paralyze/poison combo. So I'm thinking it'd be a combo of the two... sensing hostile intent, and the paralyze ability. That way it's not quite as much overpowered. But obviously it's still overpowered.

Oh, I would also omit knowledge of the specific anime I'm taking these abilities from... trying to avoid TOO much meta, haha.

I should mention here that I also want to try having my character, aside from this ability, just being a normal commoner. No class. He's just me, dropped into the world. A guy with 10 HP. So I'd certainly be vulnerable to a lot.

But yes, it would effectively remove almost all challenge from the game. BUT! It would make it far more focused on story. And I think that'd be really interesting. It worked in the anime, at least. It ultimately becomes, what will the group do with this ultimate power?

And yes, I would prefer it to just straight up be a completely busted power. No saves, no limitations... it just works, at will. Maybe I have to say "Paralyze" but that's it.

Obviously a big concern of mine is having it be fun for the other players as well. The way I see it going down, my character would mostly be a really weak VIP escort.

So yeah! I know this concept is way out there but I think it'd be different and fun!

Let me know what you all think!
