So I was talking to a friend recently, and the topic of OP characters popped up. Being extremely paranoid, I asked him of he thought my character was OP... He told me my character wasn't OP, but completely underpowered and crippled. I don't necessarily believe this, but I suppose I felt a little, I don't know, insulted?

My character suffers from a genetic condition that makes her extremely sensitive and vulnerable to aether, to the point any sort of slight aetherial imbalance can leave her in a rather fragile state. This is the reason she usually avoids fighting or straining herself too much and areas overridden with aether that could potentially harm her (Like Mor Dhona). She has been K.O. multiple times due to this sensitivity. The fact she is fascinated by magic only worsens it, as it deteriorates her health over time. I liked giving her a weakness that would define her character, but...

TL;DR: Is this truly annoying to deal with? I Know OP can be horrid to deal with, but what about the other side of the spectrum? Is an underpowered character annoying? I'd guess most people don't want to put up with either extreme, what do you think?
