[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7028045, member: 20564"] I want to play. Could be deep RP, could be combat, could be whatever. I get annoyed when people slow it down. If people are looking up a rule I'll often just blurt it out to speed play, but it has annoyed people who think I'm showing off or a know-it-all. I'm not interested in waiting 15 minutes for the guy who hasn't leveled up between sessions like the DM told us to do, let' sjust start and he can work it out as we go along. I get annoyed when people do things like calculate each individual bonus of their attack for every attack in the same round - you just figured it out for your first attack, why can't you remember it's +7 and just add that instead of + 3 for strength, +3 for proficiency and +1 magic weapon, OUT LOUD, each time. While I enjoy building optimized characters, I like playing characters who are the same level as the group. This annoys me when one other person is either much stronger or weaker. Weaker I'll give advice, and it may not always be welcome. More powerful my thoughts are "I toned to down to match the group, why can't you". Of course, that's partially because back in the 3.0 & 3.5 days I was quite the optimizer but my priorities have shifted that it's more fun to work as a team. (Okay, occasionally I will build "super optimized support character" who just makes everyone else more awesome without stealing spotlight and not worry how tightly they are min-maxed compared to everyone else.) I don't mind spending a whole session RPing with each other (fleshing out the characters, not advancing the plot ) if surrounded by similarly inclined players. But if not everyone is into the back-and-forth I'm probably one fo the people who slow down play according to them. Oh, and I have no problems having a character who fears and motivations get them into trouble. No, I'm not a chaotic player, I've gamed with plenty of them and am not fond of the breed. But I've stood by friends instead of running even though it would mean a near-TPK. (*cough* ~3 sessions ago) I've counseled against combat because hydras are scary, not following the meta that the DM put it there to overcome. I've had my CG character argue with a LG paladin that we needed to collapse the dwarven mines behind us because the foes were using them to send forces in. [/QUOTE]
