Power Levels

Post date: Sep 24, 2017 2:19:01 AM

While I can get a lot of the fluff for Touhou characters from playing the games, reading the extra material, and sites like the Touhou Wiki, and TV Tropes, the mechanical challenge is the one I'm having more trouble with.

Essentially, I need to work out how powerful Touhou characters are compared to D&D characters. I used a character sorter (https://tohosort.frelia.my/) to sort out where the characters are in power compared to one another. Also, I'm going with their full power, as opposed to their dueling levels, since that makes for a better base. Anyway, the idea is that the characters are adjusted by the DM for the level of the game. Or not, if you want to play a game with tougher fights.

I did find a few characters that were particularly tricky to work out:

• Seija Kijin, because of her cheating. Her threat level is dependent on her equipment and so on.
• Suika Ibuki, since I'm not so familiar with her.
• Nue Houjuu, again since I don't know her. She's probably the character I know the least well, outside of some of the PC-98 characters.
• Marisa Kirisame. Like Seija, she's a more reactive character, a bit like a PC actually. This makes it difficult to pin down her raw power, since she changes depending on who she fights.
