Power takes many forms. As you've said, Lazarus has the capability to do terrible things if he so desired. You assure us he won't, of course, and I (personally) wholeheartedly believe you. Someone less trusting might, however, worry. If someone appears that has the power to match our resident clown's abilities, he might be more inclined to pull out his bag of forbidden tricks. And I'd argue that killing someone's character isn't the only issue that can arise from being "overpowered." From what I understand, the issue that people are worried about is Lazzy becoming no fun to interact with because he is, as was earlier stated, essentially "perfect." He obviously has weaknesses and character faults. But in most contexts, those don't appear significant except under very special circumstances. This isn't me attacking you or anything, by the way. And I'm not trying to undermine our GMs. Just trying to make a little conversation while I sit around at the dentist dreading the 'talk.'
