This could be a fun "fantasy system" playtest. Put a level 5 pathfinder wizard vs level 5 fighter in the "Death Arena" and have 'em duke it out Mortal Combat style. Than a level 10 vs level 10 and etc...repeat. When does Caster Supremacy happen ? What about a 200 point GURPS character mage vs special ops ? Dark Heresy Psyker vs Imperial Assassin ? Is this really a universal concept in fantasy games ?
There are at times a fair amount of snorting derision at "min/max" styles of play and dare I say it focusing on "the crunchy bits" of characters. But, I definitely think these types of system comparisons are really quite interesting and don't get enough love in this community.
