Question: Big fistfuls of dice... how is it done?, a min/max question to give me scope Options

[Remjin]

Okay, so I was in another discussion where people were talking about uber-big fistfuls of dice for various skills. How is it done? In essence, how does someone in a game become "the best in the world" at something?

As an example.... Player A wants to be the Human Dirty Harry Physical Adept guy, and thus really really good with a revolver. As far as I can figure, his goal would be achieved with Max agility of 6, Aptitude for Pistols, Skill Rating 7 for Pistols, Specialization in Revolvers, Improved ability (3) with pistols, for a max of 18 dice, right? (6 + 7 + 2 + 3) Outside of increasing agility more, wouldn't that be the limit? Even with Agility 9, that would make it 21 dice total? (wow)

... and other builds of that nature would be interesting to see. This way, I'll know when someone's pushing the limits pretty hard, and give me a sense of scale from one end to the other.
