The entire Table top RPG by Palladium had so many cool magic and technology systems in it. The core rule book had it so your starting character ranges could be a Vagabond (bum) all the way up to a Hatchling Dragon. It was in no way balanced and was intended for groups who were okay with that
I've spent more energy than I would like to admit trying to come up with a table top system that can have the same range of fantasy/sci-fi options without making a player in the group feel like they are going to get wiped by power gamers if they get all "bully mode" on them.
