Here's the question I'm going to ask:
How many areas can a person be skilled in before they are considered "skilled in too many areas?"
Have at thee, RPC!
Subjective.
You can be infinitely skilled if you want. Most people won't like it though.
Having more than one field of expertise is too skilled for some people.
Not to mention that it's more than just "areas," if you're literally the Best Bard Ever, are you too skilled even if you trip and fumble and fall on your own sword in every other category ever?
Depends on who you ask.
There's also the concept of Skill vs. Age. Is it more plausible to be the Best Arcanist in the Whole Wide World at the ripe old age of 89, or the tiny babby age of 13? Who knows. You'll get plenty of varying opinions on all of this though.
The can of worms has been OPENED.
I pretty much agree with all of this. It's subjective and you're never going to find one answer to suit everyone. I fall into the Skill vs. Age camp as a good indicator. A lot of people like to argue in FF's behalf that their characters are 16-17-20ish and can hold their own and be super powerful, so why can't we? My response to this is always simply "Your character isn't the main character. They're just a person in a world full of many others like them."
But that's just my thoughts on the matter. As long as someone can manage to balance something in some way, I don't really care what they do. If I'm given a plausible reason for a character to have the abilities/skills that they do, I'll roll with it.
