So, the stats in this go 0-7, then !, then !!!, then Ω. I'm not sure
exactly what the higher ones mean, but they're cool!

But- why not just use 8, 9, and 10?

There's lots of precedent from comic books. (Too Long, Don't Read? Skip to the
last paragraph.)
- The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe decided that the strongest heroes
(Thor, Hercules, and the Hulk) could lift about 100 tons. The term "Class 100"
was still in use for every power category in comic books, last I looked.
- But the Hulk could always become stronger when he became angrier. For a while, he was permanently angry. So he became known as Omega Class. Anyone whose power had no known upper limit, got assigned that class. Some of them fought the Hulk, and got reevaluated to Class 50 or something. Others still keep that class. (It's popular among mutants.)
Still, I think the best answer is from the Spinal Tap movie - the one who says
"Why don't we just turn the volume up to 11?". Having a non-numeric value above
10 would avoid that problem. 8{D>
