I like food, and dislike working out. the optimal choice would be to eat healthy and walk for 30-45mins aday... instead I eat pizza once a week and pasta of some kind atleast once more... and sit on my but playing and reading instead of working out. I didn't get that lucky... I did slightly less damage and got hit slightly more then an optimized character, but I bearly remember any fights that went really bad. ok, we didn't use speed factor, and I was specialized then later mastered shortswords.... I also had a hand cross bow as a back up ranged weapon that later got traded for a Might Composit SHort bow (it was also magic but I don't remember details) we found.  I don't understand what makes you think a point or two of damage will do this...every TPK I have ever seen would not have been less likely to happen with a pt or 2 of DPR...in fact I can remember about a dozen tpks, the ones that stand out the most are the 2 that might as well be the same exact story, and the one with horrible luck...1) 3.5// with a lot of 3rd party stuff- we ran into a group of mindflayers, and our biggest power gamer (who was like 8 classes of wizard that all gave stuff plus +1caster level) failed a charm/dominate/enthrall roll on a nat 1... then turned on the party and whipped us out.2) 3.5 we ran into a succubus in the middle of a dungeon who charmed our rouge who backstabbed our cleric with a crit... fight went down hill from there.3) 3.5 we drew up 3rd level characters (5 PCs, a warblade, a warlock, a duskblade, a Ninja, and a Favor soul) and first encounter with 3 orcs, and 2 goblins we TPKed... yes that was luck...all bad.</blockquote>
