Just soldiered through the entire thread.
Mrowak, DraQ, JarlFrank, a big for fighting the good fight guys!
It appears the system best suited to accomplish what we desire would be that of Warhammer FRP. Unlike the odious DnD, a Grand Master Knight Templar, the pinnacle of human warrior capabilities (without daemonic influence, becoming undead, etc.) will at best double his starting hit points and still be somewhat susceptible to a horrible death at the hands of a goblin armed with a shit-covered pointy stick. Possibly because any wounds would likely become infected At the same time the same Grand Master Knight Templar may face a mighty Demon Lord and stand a chance of surviving, even wining, provided he has the correct magical backup (items, blessings, etc) and uses it SMARTLY.
Too bad all to many CRPGs stick to DnD's system and its derivatives, leading to HP bloat AC bloat and insignificant abilities
