A lot of pages were dedicated to these special edge cases because they were aspirational for players. Similarly, powerful artifacts were rarely seen. I have had players who are disappointed that they never achieve high level play (levels 11+). In my experience, it's a false hope. The game isn't as fun as you would think at those levels. It's slow, it's not usually well balanced or playtested. I think the game would be better served by the assumption that those high levels are a different experience. You play through levels 1-10, then levels 11+ are one shots. You skip around to "check in" on your retired characters at occasional moments when they face extreme challenges and big moments. I'd probably also put it in a separate book with guidance for running these challenges.</blockquote>
