[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6349155, member: 2525"] Not everyone plays the type of game you play. With point buy going only to 15, what you're saying is if you don't take a race that matches your primary ability score in stat bumps, then you are hurting your whole team of fellow players. But, a lot of groups don't do that - and it doesn't hurt their games because their games are not run the way your games appear to be run. People play halfling wizards (I have one in my game right now), and halfing clerics, and halfing fighters. They play Hill Dwarf fighters, and Dwarven wizards, and Dwarven rogues. They play Wood elf wizards, and high elf clerics, and elven fighters. And it's OK that they play these things, because they enjoy it, and the rest of the people playing with them enjoy it. It doesn't have to be optimized - optimization is an option, not a requirement. All those games out there without optimization are not imploding because they lack it. [/QUOTE]
