[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6703669"] "I didn't kill people, the gun killed people!" No, I'm sorry but you [I]willingly[/I] power-built. You don't do that on accident. You can't say "it's the systems fault because there were broken combos that I took advantage of." you could have chosen [I]not[/I] to power-build. But instead you chose to power-build and to avoid you steamrolling encounters the DM upped the ante. You could have depowered yourself or made a new character, all those choices were available to you. Obviously you [I]did[/I] consider that a playstyle and I won't speculate as to what caused you to change your mind, though I can guess, but power-building most certainly is a playstyle that works. Being un-fun at the table is a consequence of how you play. Not your stats. And they're jerks. Some people will always be jerks. I've played with theater-majors who were jerks because they power-RP. That's, IMO, less fun than power-building because if Bob the Weakling dies, the new character has all the options open to them that the power-builders do. While a person who isn't a professional actor can't simply take better feats and role-play better. [/QUOTE]
