//Characters that have an unrealistically wide range of skills and abilities.
A character that has mastered every single school of magic is OP’d and illogical enough, throw on top of that a mastery of melee weapons and you’ve got something absolutely ridiculous. Even mastering a bunch of melee weapons is unrealistic as each type takes a great deal of time to master and few characters are old enough to have done so. Few characters would even live long enough to do so.
That’s not to say you can’t combine schools that seemingly aren’t related. Arcane warriors, for example, are a thing in several universes, so it can be done. It just has to be done well. With Ayalea, in some of her verses I’ve tried to combine magic with stealth, but I don’t do much with it for fear of not writing it well enough to work. It’s something I’m going to try and work on in her more used verses (Skyrim in particular), but I’m not going to have her be a master rogue and a master mage. You don’t have to have your muse be a master in everything they know.
You can also have your char be a jack of all trades, but that means they have to be a jack of all trades, not an expert. It makes no sense for a master warrior to be an incredibly skilled thief who also knows a shit ton of spells ranging from simple to incredibly complex.
