[QUOTE="amethal, post: 8536410, member: 22784"] I've certainly heard stories about players getting flak for building unoptimised characters, sometimes to ridiculous extremes (e.g. in a 3rd edition game, one group apparently banned sorcerers, on the basis that "if you want to play an arcane caster, wizards are better so we won't accept sorcerers in the party"). Fortunately, I've never come across it in practice. About the closest was when one player asked me why I was playing a Nagaji druid in a Pathfinder game, since Nagaji didn't make particularly good druids - the answer, that I wanted to try out the druid archetype that was only available to Nagaji, was accepted as perfectly reasonable. I must admit I do struggle to keep quiet when other people are deciding what to do in combat, but only to point out things they may have overlooked, given Pathfinder is such a complicated game. (Or if my character is bleeding to death on the floor and the party cleric doesn't seem to have noticed!) [/QUOTE]
