[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8458495, member: 205"] If there's an average group out there, I haven't met them. :) Absolutely. Bowing to social contract at the table is something I've advocated on these boards for years. I think the difference in our experience is where you've encountered a ton more powergamers, I've encountered a ton more "extreme roleplayers" who enjoy out-there concepts. I'm probably the only one out of the 20 or so people I normally play with who has "overall power" as even a secondary consideration. Again, absolutely agree. If the people at my table had problems with my characters, I would adjust them or scrap them, no problem. Yea, again this seems to come down to personal experience. I find powergamers personally very easy to DM for, because I know what they want and they're easy to nerf if needed. The worst thing that happens with a powergamer is that the combat is short and easy; the players generally win fights anyway, so not much really changes. But I don't play with many powergamers; it's not by design, my players are just much more the type that will take half an hour to have conversations with random NPCs. [/QUOTE]
