He also holds back a little as he gains levels and chooses new options to fit more into a character persona rather than a gaming build. His PC still has it's flaws, but where he excels, he really excels. Not long ago, we were tweaking his PC to give him more roleplaying flavor. He attempted to powergame the tweaking process until I pointed out that the whole reason we were tweaking was to give his PC more flavor, not a more powerful build. He embarrassingly agreed and we both came up with a good concept.So I can live with the powergaming. I remind him (infront of the group) that the more he powergames, the harder I make the encounters, and the more difficult it will be on the other players. I just don't want to give him treasure that will make his strong points even more powerful. I also don't want to give him treasure that will make his weak points more powerful and basically say, "If you powergame your strong areas, don't worry about the weak areas, because you'll be able to boost the weak areas up with magic items".And a Cleric benefits from so many abilities that it's hard to find magic items that won't benefit one of those areas.</blockquote>
