[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4329216, member: 710"] Funny. I've yet to see if this is also true for my group. But most of my group was always good at tactics - and also good power-gamers. We'll see how well I am actually at the tactical job once I get to play my Warlord. ;) I know one player that might never be really good at tactic, and his power-gaming character optimizations seems way to off rely on stopping to read his powers, spells or class abilities before the drawbacks appear. ;) I don't know if it's intentional or if he just has so much trouble with using English rulebooks (even after 8 years). He has a certain habit of... cheating... but he also seems to be less capable in using a published adventure as effective as others DMs, so both might factor in... In the end, the rest of the group will always be there to correct mistakes, intentional or unintentional ones. ;) [/QUOTE]
