I got curious. I looked at the character.

That is quite simply nutty. I did a double take on some of the stats. I
don't know that I have ever played any character long enough to get him
that progressed. Even my "name sake" that I played in AD&D in high school,
which I played for a few years on end wasn't that amazing, though some mind
boggling characters did come out of that campaign.

Epic, I think, would be an understatement for Binder.
