[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5962826, member: 97602"] It isn't possible, because if there is an instance where something has more HD than you, you can take two actions (of your infinite actions) to gain more HD than them. So, even if you have 1i and they have 20i, you can then gain i^i with the knowledge that >i exists. We know that .anythingrepeating (ie: .999..., .888..., etc) is effectively the next number (as there is no single point between the two, they are the same), so; infinity is great in theory; it falls apart in practice. In breaking D&D with AMA, it is perhaps better to say "limitless", rather than "infinite". The player could, at any moment, create a creature under his control with the powers of Dr. Manhattan, and thereby gain the powers of Dr. Manhattan. No amount of "but there is now stronger" can alter the fact that using specific combinations of spells, feats, and abilities can create a very, very broken Mary Sue with every ability the universe (and their imagination) has to offer, and no weaknesses. One of my favorite abilities to consider is "I Win". "I cannot be harmed, directly or indirectly. Any act that would harm me automatically fails, at any place, in any time. Furthermore, I automatically succeed at everything I attempt." [/QUOTE]
