[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8386211, member: 7032025"] Yes, and these are the ones most frequently encountered, at least by me, in particular on forums. In most cases it is, because it usually starts with thinking for hours about your character and making it powerful, in a complete vacuum of what the DM and the other players are thinking. And this colors your thinking down the line. After that, some people do not have to be jerks about it, which is fine. And I've always said that if your whole table is a table of powergamers, have fun. But the main problem is when you mix them with other players types, because that is when the looking down to, the sneering, the complaints about "ruining the party", leading to ordering other players around start to come about. Believe me, I have done so, and had some fun. But I consider that there is much more to the game than this (and again, the designers tell you that this is their point of view), and I now prefer playing in a different mode. But it's fine if that is what you prefer, enjoy the game, just don't try to impose options on other games when they are absolutely not needed for fun in the game as designed. [/QUOTE]
