Just finished reading Eldest (if you haven't heard of the Inheritance Trilogy yet, I suggest you pick up a copy of Eragon from the book store. It's actually a very good book) and I came to the realization that Eragon is actually quite overpowered.
He wears plate armor, can mind control, heal, nuke, has a ridiculous amount of melee damage and can go immune to damage depending on how much mana he has.
In other words...
Is Eragon a Paladin w/gnomish mind control cap?
