[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8382441, member: 6801228"] So, it is highly likely that nothing I could ever say will sway you, but I want to try anyways. Right in that first sentence you revealed that it has nothing to do with what people do, it is about what you fear people will do. After all I have all the proof I need to disprove your theory. You read the guides. You obviously wouldn't say you are a powergamer, and yet you read those guides. So it is possible to go as far as reading the guides, and yet still not be a powergamer. Therefore, the mere existence of the guides proves nothing about people's intentions. You want an example of a Tasha's character who isn't powergaming? Sure, I actually have one. I have a Levistus Tiefling Artificer. Due to my rolls (the DM had us roll two arrays and take the higher of the two or the standard array) they have an 17 intelligence.
