[QUOTE="JRR_Talking, post: 3503164, member: 4693"] it can get a bit annoying when someone plays with a well thought out concept, is well roleplayed, BUT if your character actually stepped back and thought about it would say "this world is a dangerous place, would i really put my life in this guys hands?" Whether its an orc/dwarf Bar with all INT, WIS and CHA at 8 or less, who constantly gets you into trouble. OR some wierd multiclass combo that though flavourful is utterly uselss even at third level At the powergaming level i have recently started playing Liv Gre. It seems characters have slightly less flavour but more optimal builds for survival. Most of the scenarios seem to have encounters built to near optimum. My charcater build was to be a 'pacifist medic of Elhonna'. Stats: S14/CO15/WI14/D10/IN8/CH14 Human Favoued Soul She took toughness twice at 1st level. This may not be very optimised at all. Others in the group where like...erm Very quickly she became more built like 'Unkillable'. Everyone is now 4th level. She has more hp than the dwarf Barbarian, Better AC than the 18 dex elf ranger, and the best all round saves. She took improved toughness at 3rd and CO15 to 16 at 4th. She strolls around the battlefield buffing up the party and healing as neccessary. Im taking 'her' to her first CON in a few months, will see how she fairs up in a more powergamey situation. I think D&D lends itself somewhat to opti-building. Just the nature of so many areas where conflcit and adverse affects to characters can ocur. If i wanted to play more drama i wldnt play D&D.
