If a 'typical' RL is W or WW (and I note confusion still reigns on this point), then a WWW is not _invulnerable_ in a contest with them. Has a pretty big advantage, yes...

Depends what you mean by 'equivalent to'. Game mechanically, a 18W works a lot like having a 38 skill in Pendragon[*], so higher levels are somewhat like an extrapolation of the PD scale. (PD basically just grinds to a halt at 39, even moreso than RQ3 does at 100ish.) But this says nothing about what such numbers _represent_ in the game world...
[*] Significant differences: convention is low roll is good, as opposed to high is good, which makes a significant difference; and that Criticals aren't quite so... well, critical. And you can still fail with 18W, whereas you can't with a PD 38.
Cheers,
Alex.
