I base the capabilities of my characters on a sliding scale based on what the scene is about.
Â
I tend to bow out to disputes, if someone claims to be a master Alchemist, I don't try to imply Evangeline is better, I just try to have her learn something.
I am cool with characters being more powerful than mine, trying to gain knowledge is always a good plot hook. On the other hand I'm just as on board with being knowledgeable on a subject.
One characters master is another's apprentice.Â
That was all a bit rambling, but I would argue that everything is relative and try to see what seems appropriate for a scene.
