[QUOTE="Prism, post: 1692896, member: 9501"] Doug has it pretty much spot on IMO. Most players do this to small extent - some more than others An example of minimizing a weakness - multi class casters are generally considered weaker then single class casters. Their weakness is that they have fewer spells, they are less powerful and they have a lower caster level. The practiced spellcaster feat from compete divine raises the caster level and therefore to some extent offsets this weakness. It has to be said that there isn't much 'theme' to this feat and it doesn't really add to a character except in mechanical terms An example of maximizing a strength - celestial wildshape from book of exalted deeds makes an already decent ability even better by allowing powerful celestial, blink dog and unicorn shapes. This feat however does have a theme and certainly allows lots of roleplaying opportunities if the player wishes to take them. A good deal of players tend to min/max to simply make their characters stronger or more survivable which is simply a reflection of real life where many people try to be as good as possible at what they do [/QUOTE]
