[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7432687, member: 6895991"] Please do not intermix optimizing a character with building a character which his not optimized but yet playable. The latter is balanced versus the game mechanics even if you only use feats. There is always a random element staying in the game as long as you and the dm use dice. Your str 20 char can miss 10 times in a row but your str 16 feat only fighter crits 5 out of these 10 times and hits the other 5 times. It is not very likely but still possible. With building a character to the optimum you try to improve your odds, still you can have bad dice luck. With building a character in a nonsensical way like e.g. a standard (not EK) fighter with putting all asi in int you worsen your chances but you can still survive anything (balanced for your level) your DM throws at you. I would even dare to say that your chances for survival are far more dependant on your play skill and your dm than on your attributes, with a good dm that is. But I don't want to derail the thread.
