In my opinion the more skills you give a character the less interesting they become...not just to others but to the player themselves. They end up with nowhere to grow, nothing to challenge themselves with or overcome. To be this swiss army knife of a character that has the right tool for the right job at every situation can only be interesting for so long.Â
I'll admit I have an extremely skilled character I wrote as an attempt to get more people involved in RP to act as a method to drive other peoples characters to grow and get involved. Despite him serving his purpose he is still really bland to me for the exact reasons above. I never really get him involved other than giving other characters the motivation or extra tools they need to beat a challenge.
In the end it comes to the point that all villains have to come to an end as well as the heroes. The faster you push yourself to that point the sooner that will occur. Otherwise the rp just gets repetitive and old.Â
Basically I feel a character is too skilled when they no longer have any area to grow in. Though sometimes it is hard for a player to accept that a character has reached this point.
