Some characters get so powerful that almost nothing can kill them except for player error/save corruptions.

I've got one adventurer who's starting to get close to that point. He's been adventuring for something like four in-game months now.

this is true, once you reach legendary +5 in some skills you are practically invincible. My human swordsmaster vampire necromancer has +5 legendary dodger, armor user, and blocker, as well as +5 legendary ambusher and crutch walker. (ambusher is very broken at legendary +5, you can walk up to armies and kill them and they wont event try to run). No one can touch her in a fight, and literally cant touch her when shes sneaking. Even if they did manage to land some hits, they'd need to cripple her arms in addition to a leg or she'd just be able to run away with a crutch at normal speed (crutches are kinda bugged atm, you just need to hold it once and put it into your bag instead of dropping it, and its like your always holding it). Shes almost completely invincible i'd say since vampires dont feel pain, stun, nausea, and cant die from suffocation.

i did do some cheap training against wild animals to get the defensive skills from accomplished/great to legendary, but that was against a pack of 10-15 giant dingoes so i'd say that was reasonable training.

I made a thread about mine, albeit he's in 31.25. I stood in front of a dragon once and let it whale on me. Not a scratch.
Of course then it tried to set me on fire, but I blocked it. Eventually you get so good that it becomes boring.
This is how you win.

no, you win by retiring and attempting to make a new character to kill the super-evil former "hero" whose legendary in all defensive skills, grandmaster in swords, and is a vampire/necromancer that cannot feel pain or be stunned. Then you read their secret book (mine is called "the secret of eternal rest", a nickel silverbound book that i sometimes use as a throwing book) and drink their blood, loot their masterwork steel armor and swordsword...and repeat the cycle.

This is why I want to create a custom creature that appears outwardly to be almost human but is in actuality an amalgamation of man and metal. Something that bleeds and can be cut apart, but with skin as tough as wood and bones as strong as steel. Bronze eyes, iron limbs, and lots of vampiric traits like an inability to feel pain or die of suffocation. Also, a complete lack of nerves or ligaments.

If I do this, I'll train one of them as an adventurer up to high stats, get him lots of good soldier companions, and retire him in a city after butchering a few nearby civilizations. And then I'll create another adventurer, this one probably human, before I assemble a ragtag band of followers and take the cyborg on head to head.

Document this and name your character who takes down the cyborg John Connor. For me.
