Reminds me of a BESM rpg someone I knew wanted to run. His idea was "kill Sailor Moon." We finally caved and came up with a party that obliterated the whole crew in one session. My character was stacked with every possible disadvantage so I could get "explodes on death" coupled with "resurrects somewhere safe." I can't remember the blast radius, somewhere between 1 city block and 1 mile radius.

In case you're interested, the rest of the crew was a wizard worth lots of flashy damage dealig spells up his sleeve, one mysterious charismaniac, and one retired Navy Seal sniper. Their roles were, respectively; get their attention, group them all together, and (after I walked near enough to them) shoot me in the head. The wizard also teleported him and the charisma guy away - radio earpieces are cheap and effective.

It was pretty funny watching the disbelief on the GM'S face as our death squad obliterated 5 teenage girls and their creepy stalker in like 3 hours. Most of that was min-maxing. Never underestimate the ability for a bunch of gamers to ruin any possible plan with enough character points and a few hours of prep time.
