I mean, yeah. The splats are not made to be balanced between each other. The themes that each splat is about are wildly different as well.

It's neat the mechanics allow cross play between the games though. The world would strangely feel smaller if they normalized the power scale across every game line.

Love this. WoD isn't about balance, it's about storytelling.

Were the Watchmen balanced? No. Was the storytelling amazing? Yes.

There are tabletop games that are more focused on the mechanics, and for those balance is important. But not WoD, baby.
