They also went from zero to incredible in zero time... and very quickly started using lost arts they rediscovered themselves or figured out techniques others thought impossible. They did not seem to be following the same rule set as anyone else... they did things NPCs thought impossible almost casually at times.I think referencing Wheel of Time is almost cheating as Jordan and his family played D&D (prior to writing those stories)... LOLHowever I think we can find other examples fictionally in the first book of the Elric series he discovers that the way everyone around him was doing magic (all based on ritual casting) was not absolutely necessary and that through desperate urgency, need and legitimate desire he was able to fast cast a greater summoning.To me PCs are definitely not at all the same in terms of talents and other things as those around them except maybe at first glance. They are the central characters the protagonists in a story and that is enough to make them different.</blockquote>
