It's only my life at stake here. We can't all be so blasé when it comes to whether we live or die.Snark aside, I'm only exaggerating my stance slightly, for the sake of contrast. It's just so disappointing to constantly see threads such as this one, which suggest that min-maxers only care about numbers and role-players only care about fluff (even with sufficient weasel words as to not offend either side). A real role-player, looking at everything the character knows about the world, really should care a lot more about how effective one weapon is compared to another.Seriously, just try to put yourself in the mind of the character, faced with a life of constant danger where you need every advantage you can muster if you hope to stay alive. The character can't afford to be wrong about this sort of thing. You can't afford to be superstitious, or sentimental, or to sacrifice any amount of efficiency for the sake of aesthetics.</blockquote>
