1: Equally strong. Camelot uses magic to enhance their weaponry to be on par with the tech of the Empire.

2: They have access to your move pool, but you can also purchase them moves separately.

Thanks for replying! Question 2 is cleared for me.

For the first, unfortunately not so... I'll try to rephrase, here's hoping that I do better this time.

In short (to my understanding) the balancing rule says that moves, powers etc. must be equally powerful when wielded by two people of the same strength, regardless of what they appear as - so a lightsaber would inflict the same damage as a sword despite being much more advanced tech, whereas in a "regular" universe it would just slice through the sword. Also, things such as elemental advantages ("water extinguishes fire") are meaningless in fights. This applies to players, to balance combat.
My question is, how, if at all, does this rule apply outside of PvP fights? Do tech differences and elemental advantages play a role - would Dracula be more vulnerable to a silver sword than to an iron one? Or does the balancing rule apply across the board?
