[QUOTE="Nezkrul, post: 5702385, member: 6682154"] FIXED I did do what's best for the team. The other players all built gimped characters on purpose, so I built one to compensate for the fact that 3 of the 4 people in the party suck. I'm talking in general, sounds like you're trying to be specific here. In general, I try to build around what the party is lacking, if everyone in the party I'm going to be in sucks at one or more things, I try to build a character to fill that niche. In the case of 3 characters sucking at almost all dice rolling for the sake of being "cool to roleplay" I'm forced to fill in the gap with as strong a character as I can make. The game is based on the party working together, as you said, but when 75% of the party can't pull their weight, that 25% must make up for it. I'm not being defensive about anything, I'm debating with you. And you're literally being the pot calling the kettle black here. Those "others" should be able to play well with the player who has an optimized character. If the only problem in the game is that the players playing the gimped characters aren't in the spotlight when the rolling gets involved and that last player with the good character is (whether or not that player can roleplay well) and they complain about it makes me think THOSE players need to find a different gaming system to play because they haven't learned one of the most basic elements of the world: not everyone is the same and not everyone has the same tastes for gaming. Like I said before, I build to fill in gaps. When 75% of the party is lacking, I HAVE to build strong to fill in the gaps. [/QUOTE]
