[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7267020, member: 28301"] Of course I am making a value judgment, as I posted D&D is a ROLEPLAYING game, its says so right in the description. I think that should be rewarded. I have no inherent problem with an optimizer, that's ok. However an optimizer who does nothing for PC background or development then complains when those that do get rewarded is off base (and most likely will be a problem player.) I have seen players show up with PC that are prefect mathematical constructs right off this forum that don't have a name, and then tell you "its impossible for the guard to resist my stealth check, I checked the MM and his perception cant beat my stealth check, as the DM your cheating." I think there are more players like that on these forums then in real life (so they can argue anonymously) but they do exist. The idea is to have fun and role play in a roleplaying game, and if completely ruins your enjoyment of this game that an elf monk gets to use his racial weapon as monk weapon, maybe this game isn't for you. Certainly my table wouldn't be, I might ask you to speak in character, really have a beer drinking contest (halfing vs dwarf of course,) actually show me your spell scroll you have prepared (a slip of paper would work.)
