Phil Pfister: Highest Strength Score in the World

[Hussar]

That would make him an 8th Level Human Expert who rolled an 18 and bumped up his STR at 4th and 8th level.

Actually, here's a stupid question: how do non-adventuring characters level up? Would putting out a fire, making a cermaic pot, or catching fish have a CR?

Well, a Forest Fire is CR 6, so... we could figure it from there. All sorts of traps in a burning building. Yeah, he'd level up PDQ.

Although it does well to remember previous charlatans like Carl Lewis were also vociferously anti-drugs.

As a track & field coach hurts me to admit it, but you're right.

And there is no test (as of yet) for HGH.

CHA = Michael Jordan or Bono

Michael Jackson. Adolph Hitler. (Both took Wisdom as dump stats, too.) Also a disturbing number of Canadia pedophiles, including one who went to Spain to teach kid's hockey even though the parents knew he was a pedophile.

I think we might be mistaking fame for Charisma. Michael Jordan wasn't famous when he was a talented youngster. He earned his fame. I don't think he suddenly cranked his Charisma score, but he could boost his social skills. Also, it's easy to mistake Charisma for social skills (so my above examples might be wrong).

Pfister doesn't look like a guy who's hopped up on muscle enhancements. The distribution of his muscles looks natural. Of course, the way he looks means absolutely nothing. I guess I just want to believe he's clean because that would make his accomplishments truly incredible.

Speaking of his body, is it just me or do his legs look reeeeeeeeeally tiny compared to his enormous torso?
