actually let me put it this way:
I'm mostly interested in power gaming/min maxing character builds and party builds.
These builds would really only be for playing battles, and the idea is to be more of a strategy rpg, instead of just a strategy game like Warhammer.
however im new to D&D and...
I come from more of a miniwargame background such as Warhammer/Heroscape and was interested in learning the ways of dungeons and dragons, but more as a strategy RPG.
I'm looking for advice on what books/rule sets I should read or if you have experience on an easier way to go about this play...
