I thought I had given this example - any character with a significantly higher skill than his fellows will only be challenged by opponents that would overwhelm the remainder.

Reaching a point where you are on an equal footing with the JarEel described in the HW rules book is not my idea of 'medium power'.

No - I actually believe some of the costs (e.g. for magic) are too high to start with. For my campaign, we wanted to become movers and shakers quickly, but not move equally quickly to the point where we dominate nearly every situation. Its a balancing act. YMWV, etc.
