[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3774584, member: 18"] Too true. Him and Batman. Possibly also Spiderman. Aloisius might also find it worth considering that D&D isn't "the real world", and there's no reason it's heroes should be constrained to such. Aside from superheroes, there are certainly plenty of fantasy characters either in, or close to, the six eighteens range. Hell, Alias from the FR has six seventeens precisely, and she's actually [I]non-offensive[/I] by FR standards! Most of the "best-selling" fantasy novels of the last decade or so have characters who are outrageously good at everything. Of course the problem is that they are thus the focus of the book, and four people with equally ludicrous abilities might get a little dull... Which is why with D&D they try to encourage players to specialize. If the classes are strong enough, though, that shouldn't really matter... [/QUOTE]
