[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5596443, member: 71571"] My rules lawyery is something I do as a thought exercise, not as my actual play style. When I run or whatever, I'm generally a LOT more laissez-faire. I want cool things to happen. I want to tell a grand story. I don't want to think every character's going to only take combat only options. I can't remember what thread it was in, but someone said that they didn't have room for 'fun' feats after taking weapon focus, expertise, unarmored agility, DIS, etc, etc... My response to that is going here. You don't NEED to take all that to be effective. The problem there is not the feats... the problem is you're CHOOSING to play bleeding edge in performance rather than wait a while to get things rolling. You don't NEED Weapon focus if you have DIS. You don't NEED Expertise if you have Superior Implement, You can get by with three of those feats and you'll be VERY effective. You won't be effective as Spike Minmaxer, but who cares? If you don't want to be Spike Minmaxer WHY ARE YOU PLAYING LIKE HIM? You don't need all that crap to be effective. You can be effective with a lot less. Stop trying to push to the limit and complain you have nothing left for other things, when the problem is your insane need to push to the limit. The system works -fine- without you having to do that. The need is fictitious. [/QUOTE]
