I always thought that char op tabletop games is quite amusing. While optimizing a character in a video game can be overpowered it's because the game doesn't usually change. Everything is as it is. But in tabletop games you can char-op as much as you want but I guarantee you that I (as a DM) can throw something at you that makes you feel as useless as an unoptimized character. And if I have players that do blatantly optimize a character, I will exploit the hell out of the weakness they have. Even if an optimized character makes everyone else in the party feel like crap, there are ways of evening that out. Big Dragon comes around? He's going to focus on the greatest threat, the min/maxed twinked character. It's just... it's just funny to me because as much as people focus on optimized characters, in the long run, it means nothing in a tabletop game. There's always a bigger fish.Now that being said, my method of rolling up characters (pick race, rolls 2 sets of stats with 3d6, pick a set, apply in order, pick class) completely reins in any sort of nonsense that a character might have. Also it makes a character with a high stat truly special.</blockquote>
