Hello again. Your english is already very good, so don't worry about it, it's not my native language either. I am also not a D&D player, however i have checked out the classes and races, and to some extent, the skills and spell of D&D after reading the LN and watching the anime. However, I am not confident that I fully understand the system of either D&D or Overlord when it comes to magic, skills and abilities.

Now, I do not know if i mentioned this, but the reason I wrote to you is because I am writing a fanfiction of Overlord, and I have created my own OC, with his own unique build. Still, as I am not fully aware of how the system works in Overlord, I would like to inquire the opinion of a third party. After reading your very thorough explanation on tier magic and skills, I believe that having you as a third party would be most helpful for the advancement of my fanfiction.

My biggest obstacle right now is my lack of knowledge on skills, for my OC is not a mage and thus, all his abilities are based on his job classes and racial classes. I have a hard time coming to a conclusion on where the limit of said abilities should be.

Said OC is primarily a stealth-based damage dealer, something akin to a samurai who appears and disappears on the battlefield and deals damage before retreating into his stealth before stricking again. Though this is not yet written in stone, I was thinking about something like this as far as his stats go:

HP: 100/100

MP: 80/100

Phy Atk: 95/100

Phy Def: 40/100

Agility: 100/100

Mag Atk: 30/100

Mag Def: 40/100

Resistance: 100/100

Special Ability: exceeds limit (just like Ainz's MP exceeds limit)

Total: 685+@

As you can see from his stats, his build is rather focused on damage dealing, evading attacks and his special ability. In exchange for that, as a Lvl 100 Player, he has very bad defense, for even Ainz, a magic caster, has much better Phy and Mag Defense than him (OC is more or less an glass cannon even at full health). However, he makes up for it with some of his job classes which focus on disrupting, delaying and nullifiying Spells: similar to Abjuration Magic from D&D. Thus his need for relatively high MP despite not being able to use Spells for damage-dealing.

Now, someone like Ainz (the only player we know the build of) has taken both racial and job classes in order to increase his efficency as a magic caster. So to say, every decision led to one goal.

My OC in comparison has taken job classes which specialized in Magic nullyfing and damage dealing, while his racial classes alone make up his "stealth" side. I was thinking 30 racial Levels (stealth), 30 Levels in classes that are anti-magic, and 40 Levels in classes that deal damage (he uses a set of 5 short swords, each of which has a different element, to increase damage output via combo moves=the more he attacks and hits, the damage stacks up, without the mention of the different types of elemental damage of the swords).

My questions to you so far would be:

Are the stats too one-sided?

Do you think the Mag Atk stat has some kind of effect on the efficency of anti-magic spells?

Would an "stealth-based, anti-magic, samurai-like" build even work?

If the special ability stat is maxed out, do you think racial skills would have more uses per day? (for example: Breath of Fly is Entoma's special ability as well as her trump card, however it is limited to 3 uses per day. Her special ability stat is 41/100. If it were 100/100, do you think she could use it like 6-7 times per day?)

If your stealth abilities come from your race alone, could you use them continuously? ( I read that Wraiths in Overlord for example make constant use of their stealth. As my OC also has something similar to an astral body, could he use his special ability stealth-skills continuously or would they still have daily limits?)
