You'd think we could at least wait to see the character before accusing it of being too powerful... Geez. Taking notes from past experiences, however, that's all I'm going to say on the matter.But back to business. Any consensus on the strength level issue yet? My reasoning in bringing it up was not to be able to make a character that can simply crush all other characters, it was to enable strength-based characters to actually play ball with the other high-tiers and stand a chance of pulling out a win. As things are, a character with maxed out strength can have their strength matched by characters who have half a dozen other powerful abilities besides. That just doesn't sit right. If a character has all their focus on one thing, they should be able to be better at that thing than any other character who isn't completely focused on it. At least in the confines of a combat RP setting. For instance, a man who has dedicated his entire life to learning how to shoot (to the exclusion of all other forms of combat) should be able to shoot better than a man who has split his time between learning how to shoot and learning how to fight with martial arts.Note: I did not actually mean "we", and I am fully aware there were only two persons jumping to conclusions about the character.

This is something Skallagrim told me a long time ago, and frankly I agree with it. It honestly -does not matter- how awesomely trained your character is in any skill, because in the end, you have to post your actions and if you're not skilled, your character will be just as bad. The only time this really matters is in terms of pure speed or action, how quickly your character could 'aim' for example, but if your smart enough to post before that your character unhooked their weapon holster for example, then you have an inherent advantage anyway.
