[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8457551, member: 7032025"] And, once more, I'm not forbidding anyone to do anything, if you want high stats, all power to you, god knows that some people are not ashamed to post really high stats characters (where it gets a bit silly, because they are taking people for fools, is when they are saying "honestly, I rolled them :) ). I'm just asking people to be honest about their motivations, that's all. Just another example, one of our few powergamers is starting a campaign, he has asked use to use a feature of DDB where you can roll 10 sets of abilities and choose. Obviously, these characters will end up having powerful stats. I don't need it, and honestly, I don't like it much, because that DM also has a tendency to want to make us feel high powered by giving us really powerful items really early, but I still like his campaigns and the stories, and it's a good chance to play. And I therefore still have to go through the process, because it's expected by the DM and some of the people at the table, although I think that it unbalances the game and makes it even more swingy. But doing otherwise would not be playing by the table rules, and it would create a character which would be a drag for the others, not something that I want to do either. The only thing that I'm not going to do is come brag about my stats and my optimised character (since it's not optimised, not really at least I think), or my "skill" in creating it... [/QUOTE]
