[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9680606, member: 907"] This I would tend to agree with, albeit it varies a bit depending on the campaign/game. But I generally want highly competent "mundanes", not super-beings. This site's has a pretty strong D&D bias, and D&D turns people superhuman at high levels. A high-level D&D character can kill a dragon with a bit of sharpened steel, and I think that warps many people's thoughts on the topic. But my preference is for Leverage-level competence. For example, when faced with four beefy goons, Eliot Spencer calmly explains to them exactly how he's going to kick their butts, and when they attack anyway he proceeds to do it in exactly the way he said.
