I am not.I like to run story campaigns with alot of role-playing both during and after the gaming sections. I like to see the PC's fully develop characters with detailed backgrounds and actual lives. This is what playing an RPG is all about.I don't like min-maxers, those are the worse people to play with to me. Why? I feel they create characters to maximize their power with thread bare reasons why they have chosen classes or feats. They ruin stories and make the game not fun for me to run. I do like my players to have high stats and good magic items. They are the heroes of the campaign to me and supposed to be some of the most extraordinary people to walk within the world that I run. They should not have stats barely above commoners or even stats that a somewhat good person would have. They should have heroic stats that allow them to defeat unbelievably strong monsters that kill people who near their level. It is not often that a PC in my campaign has less than two 18's and a stat lower than 12. I dont' want it unless someone is playing a concept where an exceptionally low stat is appropriate. I want to run Conan and Launcelot type heroes who rival the legendary characters of the world when they were young. Some might look at what I do as Power gaming, but if they played in one of my campaigns, they would realize how strongly I emphasize role playing. For I believe that a Launcelot or Conan type hero must carry themselves in a Launcelot or Conan type manner. I expect them to live up to their superior abilities and join the ranks of legendary heroes. Though I don't deride pure power gamers, I don't like those kinds of campaigns. I could probably enjoy a good role playing campaign, as long as the NPC heroes don't have stats and abilities far superior to my own. I want to be the hero not only by my deeds, but also because of my abilities. Other than that, I tend to run high-powered epic fantasy campaigns with epic type PC's with great stats and magic that involve alot of role playing and PC interaction with each other and the NPC's. That is what I enjoy best.</blockquote>
