[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8112388, member: 6901101"] I defined it like this: "Those that have more players that optimize or min/max do so because they pair race/class combos. The min/maxers pair race/class/background/feat. The sub-optimal players don't pair anything. In fact, they choose to not pair the better race with class. Instead, they may be leaning heavily on a specific story they conjured. Or they are thinking of a specific hyper-focused skill." If you are looking for specific attribute bonuses for min/maxers, I see the beginning 17 and a 15 or 16 in their secondary attribute (that is the highest you can have with point buy) combined with specific a synergistic (god I hate that word, but it fits here) meld of class, race and background abilities. The specific attribute bonus for optimized would be 15 or 16 in their primary attribute and 14 or 15 in their secondary attribute. This would allow another attribute to be decent as well. The racial and background skills might match the class's needs. And obviously for the sub-optimal we see a 14 as the primary attribute and maybe a 12-14 in the secondary. Other attributes are solid. The racial and background abilities do not match the class's needs. [/QUOTE]
