I'm not really confident enough in my recollection of the characters and their feats to do stats on them.Not to mention, I'd be hard pressed to figure out exactly how to make stats for the One Power and gauge the levels of various characters. I'd be willing to do stats for the Prince of Nothing trilogy, if anyone's read it, but the problem there is that Kellhus is the only character in the whole setting whose interesting and powerful enough to deserve IH stats. (Also, highly highly recommend that series to anyone who likes dark, gritty fantasy or "thinking man's" fantasy.) Still, Kellhus would be fun to stat...Edit: As for how I would personally go about doing a system for WoT, I imagine it would have to be some kind of point-based system for the magic (in which Angreal and the like increase the effective caster level of the channeler). From what I remember, Rand is incredibly powerful just on his own, being able to warp probability and channel as what amounts to an immediate action. At a guess, I'd peg him at intermediate deity level, in some respect, but on the other hand, he's fundamentally human. As in, without the Power, his strength is nothing special, nor is his dexterity (as in superhuman). His constitution is high, if I remember correctly, but not above peak human. His intellect is superb but weighed down by madness, but on the other hand I don't remember him displaying anything too exemplary in wisdom, though his charisma is easily his highest stat and probably what he'd use for his channeling). So, I think he'd almost have to break the silver rule and have maybe 20 HD but have the intermediate deity template (modified to fit him) slapped on, putting him around level ~80. He relies completely on his channeling rather than having a well-rounded power set. As a swordsman, he is equal to... 10 or so skilled men at once, yes? Whereas Anomander Rake (above) has broken up armies 300,000 strong in his dragon form and fought through squad after squad of Seguleh swordsman who themselves are the equal of at least 10,000 men in battle. Bottom line, Rand is a glass cannon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
