What's the highest skill level you've ever had for a PC or NPC?

Broadsword 24.

I didn't like it. I like more of the 14-18 ranges. I think our GM doesn't like it either. So I expect things to be lower here on out.

The problem is that we're not really doing some of the skills properly, like Stealth. So in order to be safe for something like Stealth, you need 18-20 or the GM will roll (he always rolls against you) an 8 (he always rolls 8s) vs your 14. He likes his NPCs to have perceptions of 10-12. So making a skill by 5 is sort of the safe bet. He always rolls for each NPC there as well, even if they're not "specifically on alert."
