[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 6770101, member: 6801311"] I picked #2 "Mostly". I think I'm more somewhere between 2 and 3, but I often find myself trolling the guides to find out best options and so forth. But I'm not often min-maxing because, while I don't usually start with a concept, I will randomize class and race and background. I mean, why can't a dwarf be a wizard? 5e makes it a lot easier to be a less synergistic combination on such choices. Regarding the argument about inferior weapon choices, I present Syrio Forel. Unarmored, with only a wooden training sword, killed 5 fully armored knights. The reality is, the only question your character should be asking another character in-game is: Do you know how to use that thing? Most fighters actually aren't fully trained in every weapon on some list in a game book (meta). So if a character shows up with a mace, your character should just assume that's what he was trained in and is best at, not "you're a fighter, so that means you're trained with longswords". How does your character know that? [/QUOTE]
