[QUOTE="pming, post: 6933952, member: 45197"] Hiya! The problem here is that you may consider a Fighter with a 12 Strength "Inept", while I consider a Fighter with a 12 Strength "above average". Answering your question(s) isn't so much a "answer" so much as a "my style". The old saying still stands: The devil is in the details. A character that is 'optimized' for melee damage has a lot of other short comings. A character that is 'optimized' for versatility in battle has short comings as well. But both are just as viable in to fill their role; fighting. One could flip the tables on you and say the same thing, but their version of "inept" relates to versatility. They look at your character who is optimized for melee damage with large weapons and think [I]"[/I][I]Why are you making such an incompetent fighter? When you have a two-handed sword you are great...but the moment you loose that weapon, you suck. You rely on heavy armor, which is great, until the moment when you are sleeping, or at sea, or climbing a rope, or walking through a desert, or a million other likely scenarios for an adventurer.

One persons "optimized" is another persons "inept". ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
