The current 4000 points does not really work that well for dungeon delving.. :)

Sounds like Dragon #99's "History of a game that failed" :-) While some of the advice there is really bad (wish twisting just rubs me the wrong way. If you can't handle the D&D version of wish then don't let it in the freaking game rather FUBARing the player over because as a GM you were a freaking idiot) there is still good information in piece.

The part titled "Do not allow a character to become more powerful than a chugging locomotive." applies in this case. Interestingly there was the Immortal Rules in the OD&D set but it really wasn't that good for the simple reason that as an immortal you can't die only be inconvenienced as you are a spirit and if powerful enough a full fledged "god"...which where the problem comes in.
