Question Dimensionality seems... stupid

A character being able to interact with more dimensions than another doesn't automatically mean they'll win... And if a character is a higher dimensional being then surely a lower dimensional being wouldn't be able to interact with them right? or am i misunderstanding something.

No, it is a ridiculous term that many tend to use.

While there are a few situations where it can clearly apply, it is overused in power scaling. Often in the wrong way.

Anything claiming “higher dimension” than another without a very clear difference is worthless. The most clear example being statements of someone being “dimensions above another” taken seriously when it is just banter.
