How powerful ARE immortal elves? Options

[emo samurai]

I coded a program in c to calculate this. *flexes* This is assuming that the average immortal elf has lived 10,000 years and gained 3 karma per month because he has a cheapass GM. That means he has 360,000 karma by the time he hits the 6th world.

I'm disregarding magical groups, since they probably didn't form groups since they're so disinclined to agree with anybody that they didn't convince to agree with them in the first place. And I'm disregarding ordeals, since it's probably a pain in the ass to be constantly writing theses.

I'm assuming that they use 1/2 their karma on initiation grades, and the other half on leveling up their libraries of 100 skills.

The numbers are... *drumroll*... 341 initiation grades (0_0) and 100 skills at rating 43, making them INVINCIBLE.

The source code is here:

[ Spoiler ]

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int karmacount, karmaleft, initiation, skillgrade, iterations;

initiation = skillgrade = 1;

karmacount = karmaleft = 360000;

iterations = 0;

for(iterations = 0; iterations >=0; iterations++)
{
karmaleft -= (15 + 3*initiation);

if(karmaleft <= 180000) break;

karmacount = karmaleft;

initiation++;
}

karmacount -=200;

karmaleft = karmacount;

for(iterations = 0; iterations >=0; iterations++)
{
karmaleft -= skillgrade * 200;

if(karmaleft <= 0) break;

karmacount = karmaleft;

skillgrade ++;
}

printf("%d initiation grades, skills at %d.\n", initiation, skillgrade);
}

I am the nerdiest man aliiiiiiiiive!!!
