Perhaps, only tier 6 witches and tier 7 swordsmen from Heroes 7 annoyed me more than tier 5 monks. A simple humanoid at tier 7 is utter nonsense, a slap in the face to real dragons.
But that's just my opinion; I take fantasy seriously, like science fiction, and not as a fairy tale where anything is permissible without any claims to even the slightest realism or logic.
In a purely fantastical world, anything is allowed, even peasants at tier 7. A man worked hard in the field, and unlike, by the way, the priestesses of Venus, doesn't he deserve the highest honor?
