Well, yeah, when it was written, I was given the guideline that 17 was pretty damn impressive, and anything with a mastery was positively superhuman. There are some stats that, in hindsight, I would still have made higher (speed, in particular), but, even so, the stats do have to be looked at with that scale in mind. They probably work fine in Rob's game :)

Yeah; I don't think they were changed much. To the extent that I had input, I certainly wasn't told that masteries were being devalued, so the scale remained the same as in Hero Wars.
