It was just my fault for letting my roleplaying side determine the gift to a powergamer. I thought of it like, "He'll have this weird slick-to-the-touch armor that would make him seem kinda unique & more cool. He'll only have 1 less AC which is already a 30 AC on average anyway. So swapping 1 point of AC that hardly makes or breaks an attack for a cool flavorful item might be a nice find".  I was wrong  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> He worships Trithereon and has the Liberation & Good domains. He's a powergamer that is really weak in the roleplaying department. So there's not much personality other than other PC's making fun of him being a dult due to his weak roleplaying attempts. We just play it off as the typical dumb Half-Orc. He spends his time with his nose in the Spell Compendium planning out his future strategies rather than paying attention to NPC interactions.Well, I kind of like him burning his spells with cure spells. I allow the spell compendium and any other WotC 3.5 book, so he's pretty much built an extremely well rounded character that makes it hard for NPC's to hurt him unless he just rolls poorly. Each spell he burns with a cure spell takes away his opportunity to buff himself more. I have a tendency to create encounters that I think will be tough only for the PC's to plow through it with ease. So any little burning of spells helps my encounters feel more challenging  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I gave the party a Bag of Tricks hoping he'd take it. But it went to another player. I thought about giving an animated rope, but he never cares about loot unless it'll beef him up more...so the other players end up with this stuff. I've been trying to come up with someone that would obviously be for a Cleric. Something that's not powergamey, but still "cool" for a cleric to have just in case.</blockquote>
