It's basically just masturbation. It might be fun for a brief moment but it has no point. If I use cheat codes or powergame I rob myself of the enjoyment that comes along with a challenge. Sure, I might beat a video game in 2 hours instead of 40 or I might kill the BBEG in one round instead of six or seven, but I'm not racing or playing a competitive sport, I'm playing a game. Challenge is part of the game. I may deceive myself into thinking cheating is fun, but after I've seen the end of the game, I often don't care to pick it up again for a long time if at all.I never remember encounters that were pushovers. I never sit around with my buddies and wish for the good ole' days when we killed colossal red dragons in one round. I remember the encounters that had me on the edge of my seat for 10 long rounds of gruelling tactics and sit around with my buddies talking about how the colossal red dragon killed all but one party member who slew the beast when he had only 5 hp left.</blockquote>
