[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6662912, member: 5834"] I would consider it poor role-playing if my player wasn't trying to build the most powerful character possible regardless of the fun of others. Even though the goal isn't to "win" the game for the players. It is definitely the goal of the character in the world to win the game with no quotations by defeating enemies and dominating in battle. One of the reasons I like D&D and fantasy in general is because it mirrors the ancient world. In the ancient world domination through force was the way of things. Thus fantasy characters should seek to become as powerful as possible so that they will not be defeated and dominated. I would not for example give a DM much slack as a player if I were following the rules he allows to become a dominant member of a group. I would in fact look to usurp the leadership position in the group and push the group to take over places we were able to take over. That is why I as a DM ensure the parameters are monitored out of game because I expect players to make their characters in game as strong as possible for the sake of their own survival and success.
