And you can make even more characters within the rules using Mutants and Masterminds, and even more with every GURPS expansion. There's no such thing as a complete game that covers all possible scenarios, that's called life. 5E trades lots of nitty details for being easy to learn and play and being mostly balanced, you can't have both.
