[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 3183155, member: 926"] I've had stuff like this. Me, who writes up a 4 page background for his characters, has a sheet listing things such as favorite color, foods, drinks, first love, names of old friends, that kind of stuff, and has detailed accounts of his family (when no one else in the group does anything like this at all) has had the DM tell me to my face in the middle of the game that I'm a power gamer and he doesn't trust me. After I've helped make this guys world and he would discuss future campaign possibilities with me and we'd come up with plans for the game together. I still don't understand what his problem was. I made elaborate characters that could do interesting things (like my bladesinger or my glaive wielding psychic warrior), but they were regularly outperformed by the bland characters the other players made, like greatsword using dwarven fighters and such. It seriously pissed me off when he called me out one day for being a power gamer. I hadn't even done anything. My Bladesinger had made a huge jump off a cliff to land on the back of a flying demon, and made a balance check to stand on its shoulders and proceeded to full attack it. It was impressive, but the dwarven fighter with his waraxe was the one that actually killed the thing with several times the damage output I was capable of. I'd look cool and do 10 points of damage a hit, meanwhile the dwarf would be doing 30 and 40 some points a pop. I actually think it was other stuff going on, he had just gotten married and his new wife didn't like me at all. This was over a year ago and I haven't spoken to him since about then. He'd been my best friend of 10 years, too. But it really pissed me off. [/QUOTE]
