[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 187474, member: 1134"] You can abhor it and call it powergaming if you want but it's cool and effective. The way I look at it is if I was living in that world, and running in dangerous missions wouldn't I pick the best skills and equipment to make survival likely. For example if you join the navy and become a seal, do you say geez you know what X gun is kinda powergamy I'm going to practice my sling skills, cause I really like that david v goliath image it fits my character so much better. Same for a fighter in d&d land, assuming you have a decent dex you will develop a style of fighting that relies upon lighter armor to capitalize on your dex. That stlye seems to include spring attack frequently, you only get one attack so make it count(greatsword or other bog weapon) increasing you movement makes this even better(boots of striding and springing). If you want to enforce stupidity with the players so they aren't powergamers I hope you do it with the monsters as well. [/QUOTE]
