[QUOTE="hejtmane, post: 6959676, member: 6799371"] Do I optimize yes but not like you always think; my favorite part of D&D has always been about putting out damage but I always have caveats I am not a pure caster type in fact if you handed me a pregen wizard even a evocation I probably try to get my character killed while they can be fun classes it just not appeal to me playing the character full time as a player I am do not mind part caster because I treat it more as a skill or power but I really need unarmed, swords, axes bows etc as part of the theme. I take a concept and I try to maximize the damage I can do with that concept in other words I do not have to have the highest damaging build but what ever concept I pick I am going to maximize the damage potential around that build. Like I am working on a whip build going Duelist GFB EK fighter with a mix of ranger for colossus slayer and spell sniper. The build is not even going to have a shield and I am not taking an optimal race because it does not fit the theme but we do rolled stats so no big deal but I am maximizing my damage around my concept.
