[QUOTE="bodhi, post: 1692879, member: 19770"] In the following, bear in mind "bang" is defined by the individual. For instance, in a point buy stat situation, one player might go for 16s (since the costs go up above that), while another might go for 18s (for a more focused character archetype). That being said... A min/maxer wants the most bang for the buck. How do I squeeze the most efficiency out of character creation? This guy grumbles about getting the Holy Avenger when he's not a paladin. A power gamer wants more bang. How do I get to be strongest/fastest/smartest? This guy takes a level in paladin [I]after[/I] he gets the Holy Avenger. A munchkin wants more bang for more bucks, and he's spending other people's money. This guy brings his old PC to your campaign. This PC is a Chaotic Neutral Drow Paladin/Monk/Ranger/Assassin/SEAL/Green Beret equipped with a +7 Holy Defending Dancing Keen Heat-seeking Laser-guided Vorpal Holy Avenger, +6 Drow Mithral Elven Chain Mail, 17 miscellaneous magic items including a portable hole inside a bag of holding, riding his gold dragon mount and accompanied by a charmed beholder. And that's his mid-level character because, y'know, he doesn't want to show off or anything. [/QUOTE]
