Like in DnD and other table tops the more you branch out the less specialized you become, the less potent you become at every skill set. You sacrifice being a mast by becoming a jack of all trades. The issue is NO ONE RPs that.

I do! Â Well, I try to for the most part. Â I prefer playing a character that isn't really a master of anything, and while he might be better than some people at something, he is nowhere near an expert at these things. Â The things my characters ARE experts of are usually small trivial things, like being a connoisseur of sweets or something generally "useless" like that. Â Who really needs to know from what region a particular sugar or fruit used in the sweets originates?
My characters still have their own stories to tell, they just aren't the "chosen one" or anything like that of the overall story. Â To use a comic book metaphor, others can play Superman or Batman, but I'm happy trying to play Jimmy Olsen or Alfred.
