Or namely, the summoner is.

At level 10 the Summoners Eidolon, if min-maxed, can make 18 attacks with a full attack. With a strength of 30. This is before any magic items or spells of any kind.

And I think my DM is going to throw one at us to try and kill us all.

Anyway, it works like this:

Feats: 4
Power attack, multiweapon fighting, Improved unarmed strike -or- exotic weapon proficiency sawtooth sabre, (a long sword that counts as light for off hand) & double slice.
unarmed strikes are better, it is much cheaper to buy 1 amulet of mighty fists and have it apply to all punches AND natural attacks than it is to buy and enchant 12+ swords. But it might be a bit iffy on whether or not you can make punches with the arms. Nothing says you can't, but nothing says you can either.

Base form: Biped (2 arms, 2 legs & 2 claws)
Evolutions: 18 (14 base +2 feat +2 half-elf)
Large 4 points
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Limbs (arms) 2 points (Yes I'm fucking serious)
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Bite 1 point
2 claws 1 point

There is no limit anywhere of how many times you can take the arms evolution.There is a hard limit of how many natural attacks you can have, but that specifically applies only to natural attacks.


Now for strength: 16 base +4 given str bonus +2 level ups +8 large = 30

+4 for bulls str or item =34

+2 enlarge person =36

Standard buffs at this level: mage armor, shield, barkskin, haste, enlarge person & greater invisibility. Probably not all of them, but at least haste.

TL:DR
If buffed with at least haste (and I got my math right) the Eidolon will get 18 attacks, at +17 to-hit (and one at +12 to-hit) and all for at-least 1d4+14 damage. and that is with just a +4 str item.

And that is just the summon, the summoner is a decent caster by itself. Fucking. Broken.

Social restraint is the only type of balancing that ultimately works.

The worst is that even the D&D rules are somewhat broken... They hide it better ( Elves, Halflings and Dwarves being Classes instead of races, and the restriction to 36 levels no more ( after you just restart at Level 1... with a new ruleset called Immortal ) but overall they still have a few broken things.

From my experience most PnP system will tend to break up when pushed as far as possible.
I have a friend that is able to make Super Heroes with 60 Points in GURPS ( Normally supers at Gurps are somewhere around 400/500 points ) by (ab)using the point system in character creation. Everything was strictly to the letter of the rules.
As for Rolemaster I know quite well from my own experience that it tends does unravel over LVL 50. ( and if you have the bright idea to give Artifacts to your players, it just goes down the drain around LVL 25 )
Chaosium Basic Roleplaying System works well for a while... But the system eventually break up due to your skill reaching the 100% chance.
Now I haven't pushed Space Opera system far enough to get it to break... but since it's a system that makes Spacemaster ( First Edition ) being a kid's play it doesn't matter much...

Absolutely.

I know that when I DM, some of those critical hits and fumbles at opportune times are there just because it adds to the story, not because of any actual die roll. 

DnD 3.5

Telekinesis.

1000 Sewing Needles.

each needle does 1d2.

The end.
