Fictional characters have all sorts of advantages that game characters generally do not, first and foremost being 'whatever the writer wants to have happen'. Hawkeye, Cap, Batman, pretty much any modern corporate character varies tremendously on the scale of what they can and cannot do based on who is writing them at the time, within a set of very, very broad parameters. Game characters are much more consistent in what they can and cannot do, even across tables, unless a GM is running a wildly variable rules set or is, in fact, just pretending to use a ruleset at all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
