Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6837201">Assuming of course the only definition for min/maxing is combat output.  You can min/max for RP just as much as you can min/max for combat.  My hypothetical fighter has a 16 wisdom because he's old, an 18 cha because he's a silver-haired fox and a 12 str and 10 con because he hasn't actually fought anything in 20 years.  And actually, he sucks at being a fighter.  But he's great for roleplay.That is of course, also assuming that role-play and power-gaming are dichotomous, which they are not.  My 20 st, 12 dex, 18 con sword and board fighter rocks the battlefield's socks but that's not to say that isn't also his character.  Maybe he isn't too bright.  Maybe he's young and not very wise, maybe he's not particularly personable either.  I didn't have to sacrifice anything to role-play him.Possibly, but at the same time, a role-player would only take it if they WANT NPCs to like them.  Taking my fighter example above, maybe he's not particularly interested in having a big social circle, preferring to do his job, get rich and get drunk, in that order, everyone else can take a hike.  He wouldn't want a feat that made people like him more.  I can imagine the hermit Druid and a number of other types of characters who wouldn't necessarily be "improved" in their roleplay by having more people like them.On the flip-side, if your character is designed to be the party's face, you might take the "NPCs like me more" feat because that's your goal of min/maxing.</blockquote>
