All that you say is true, and I agree with you.I am just saying that Aragorn is a particular type of character that someone might want to play with higher stats to begin with than one could obtain with 32 points. That is it.I just don't think 32 points should be considered the highest level of heroic play. I wish they would include an option that was somewhere in the 40 to 45 point range.That would make even me happy. I never seem able to capture a character I would like to play with 32 points.Kind of like when I play GURPS. I can't make a character concept with 100 points. Celebrim,Yes...it would be an opinion. If you have read LotR and all the other books associated with the Tolkien mythos, then you know 32 points would be a little low to capture some of the characters in those books. I have read the Simarillion and LotR more times than I can remember. The Hobbit only a little less. I haven't yet delved deeply into all the Middle Earth Histories and such, so I won't claim to have done so.I love those books as well as the Arthurian legends.I feel the D&D character point system doesn't take into account some heroic archetypes.That is the sole basis of my argument, nothing more, nothing less.I am not arguing that you need 68 points to capture such characters, but 32 points is definitely too low. I cannot imagine that raising the maximum heroic limit to 40 or 45 would seriously disrupt game balance.I already stack things in house, but an official 40 or 45 point level would be nice so that we could at least see that as an official option.Too many people are serious rules lawyers when it comes to D&D or other roleplaying games. If it "ain't in the book, it ain't an option to them."</blockquote>
