My group's viewpoint is somewhat similar, though we do not harangue people that choose suboptimal options because they are having fun like choosing to play a Wild Mage over a Dragon Sorcerer. Perhaps you're taking the point a little far making the difference between d6 and d8 competence versus incompetence. Like you, I do believe you can be a good role-player and a good roll-player at the same time. Yet I don't choose every optimal option. I do occasionally do something that looks cool rather than being most effective. I also like to play a young and inexperienced character or an idealistic character that makes some less than optimal choices because it is a part of his or her character to do so, such as a person that doesn't like to kill prisoners or doesn't realize that adhering to his code of honor isn't the safest or most optimal way to engage in battle. You can still win with such characters and its fun to play different personalities on occasion than the hardened professional seeking every edge to achieve victory in battle.</p></blockquote><p></p>
