I might note that pretty winged women with superpowers were a playable character class in the original Dungeons and Dragons, published in 1974, and that Dungeons and Dragons split from Chainmail precisely to accommodate characters becoming massively powerful and influential. Hence the rules about establishing kingdoms, attracting followers, leading armies, and carrying out various superhuman feats.SCI-kick wrote:Kind of disagree that D&D is the "wrong game" for me. I just think I'm old school, compared to most here. I grew up with D&D in the early 1980's. I never remember any of our characters becoming infinitely powerful and influencial Victoria's Secret models with angel wings.
I find it interesting that your complaint of ALFA's level 20 includes complaining that the charisma-based character class has a high-level character with a high charisma, with this complaint being declared distinct from a complaint about the game system, and find it a major problem that an attractive female character is immediately compared to an underwear model (because yeah, goddamn underwear floozies with their full-length dresses and their historically-accurate plate armor -- I think this comparison says more about you than it does about the character).
