Drac: Your abilities are overpowered because you're heavily multi-classing and pulling the abilities away from their respective levels. Yes, they are close to the last levels, but you've branched out and spread out your levels evenly. Your character is such supposed to have the power of a Jack of all trades in a way because you're not specializing (although having some particular perks like scouting or observation and chemical study is fine in my book). My character in comparision has 3 classes, but one of them is a mere 1 level splash while having high specializiation on the other two. The power level of the abilities respectively is roughly equal to what a normal slayer of that level would get.

Abilities are supposed to be respectively powerful as the upgrade template as according to specialization. Your character is not as specialized in Slayer, so why should she get getting upgrades that belong to Slayers several levels higher than her?

Otherwise, I should ask that I have access to other pokemon element immunities like Ruin types too. I know my character could certainly use it! But my character is not specialized enough to justify either the rage generation boost to 2.0 or the element immunity to ruin type because my character is not specialized enough as a slayer to justify it.

In order for a character to justify getting rage generation of 2x multiplier, they should be at the 10th level of the class to account for specialization (maybe 9th if enough sacrifice is there). Same with AB's placement of specific pokemon elements. Reserved for those who invest heavily in a specific class as opposed to those who multi-class too deeply. Your character is thus gaining abilities and strength that belongs to a specialist when she's anything but.

Long story short, you're breaking Gem's rule that abilities should remain the power level of their respective class to account for "specialization". You're instead basing your class power on your class level, making your character equally or more powerful in each class than the specialist themselves. And that is wrong.
