Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to hearing D&Ders in gaming clubs boasting about how pitilessly unstoppable their characters were, in the "Yeah! We went to Hell, and we TRASHED it! We turned all the devils into our BITCHES, and then we killed SATAN and took his STUFF!" camp.

The concept of Skill-40 being "not enough" for just about anything short of "Let's see if I can hit that mountaintop there on the horizon with an arrow" boggles my mind.

It's not that I don't understand what you're saying. It's that I disagree with what you're saying.
