> I think that the ideal party (yeah, let's not bother to rigorously define it) would consist of six assassins with 2^31 - 1 HP, 2^31 - 1 SP, 2^31 - 1 WC, 2^31 - 1 AC (i.e., maximum for all of these), and all spells (of course).

That depends whether those stats are stored in signed or unsigned variables. If they are signed then your definition is correct. But if they are unsigned, then you are only approximately halfway there, because you would need to have 2^32 - 1 instead of 2^31 - 1.
