[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1694359, member: 892"] Personal Definitions: Min/Max'er: Someone who will maximize some character abilities and minimize others. This is a technique to do with character design. (And where levels are involved, character design is an on-going process). Power Gamer: A player that wants to be the best at something. This player will likely use min/maxing, but will also have her character try to get/find/make stuff that will improve that character's abilities. War Gamer: A player that wants to be the best at combat (usually Conan style meelee combat). They don't always min/max -- they might go for a big ax because that would be cooler, even if the big sword does a little more damage). But only so long as no one else outshines them by doing more damage with a big sword. Rules Lawyer: Someone who is a stickler for obeying the rules, and for others obeying the rules. Note that none of the above four would break the rules of a game. Munchkin: Someone who will try to maximize character abilities, even if it involves breaking the rules. Someone who will try to be the best at everything. Rules Raper/Twink: Someone who tries to blend incompatible rulesets (like, from two sourcebooks from two different companies that have different and incompatible takes on an optional rules subset).
