Yeah, a format template with more carefully considered stat limits would be good for a fair tourny. Something interesting would be a base human template, with average strength speed and agility, and then the option to min-max on those stats, followed by a low level power. 

Almost like a battle between DnD characters.

I was actually more interested in setting up a persistent Arena RP with a DnD style and the classic tavern. Where more human/med fantasy characters could fight it out and people could sign up to play monsters and stuff for groups to fight. I always thought it would be cool to go back to a lower tier more story driven narrative for a while, tone everything down as we're straying a little high for my personal tastes.

I'll probably never have time to do it though.

I, personally, am not much for stats. The only rp I played that had stats was actually Kestrel's Library, where the most complicated aspect was determining your Pow, Spi, and Agi, which surprisingly limited bickering, snide comments or locker room drama. Mainly as had their perks and negatives, yet if your stats were lower than another PC or NPC, you couldn't avoid getting nailed or missing. Though coming up with the extra stuff was a pain in my ass. -_-
