[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1508346, member: 3929"] Yes, you are going to be able to be a Persesus, Launcelot, Arthur, etc. on 32 points if the rest of the world is working with 20 points. Similarly, the villians you fight will be equally imposing if they are statted out with 32 points in a 20 point world. If everyone in the world has 18s in every category, then having an 18 ceases to be anything special. Compare the stats to the world's, not to what you think all heroes should have. You are correct here if you think that all skills anyone has are maxed out. But that is not neccessary; 4 ranks in Diplomacy and a +1 CHA is going to let a bandit convince his prey his side is not evil about half the time. (As long as the bandit does not immediately initiate hostilities.) So don't try to max out skills, give characters a smattering, and think of abilities on a relative basis, not an absolute one.
