I was actually constructive about, say, your background for instance, but you aren't ever constructive of game mechanical concepts if they aren't 100% optimal/efficient. Next time I'll ram your background into the ground: I am a literature student, I know how to critique amateur writing, believe me. What this comes down to is that a) some people take decisions based on style (Some of my NPCs take suboptimal choiced as well even though some of them last only for one combat) instead of raw power. Since that concept is completely alien to you apparently, I don't want you to:b) give advice that normally is in the DMs hands. If you think I am an evil bastard that deliberatly makes the PCs make stupid choices you are wrong: This game takes considerable time and effort on my part. I am not doing it to screw over players. I do it because a) no one else wants to b) I think I am the best one to do it (that's not arrogance, it's confidence <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) c) I actually enjoy the unfolding story (although it pisses me off greatly that you scrapped my entire minotaur storyline <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)Back to minmaxing: So? We don' t all minmax out the wazoo: Casper has taken the feats to use double bladed sword as best as he can. Against low AC low HP opponents TWF is superior to THF. Vice versa is also true. He chose the option that appealed to him most for a myriad of reasons. If you say you don't know half teh information: EXACTLY! you don't, so don't command him to do stuff you know nothing about. You could have instead asked him in teh OOC thread: "Why don't you use a Greatsword?" But you said "Use a greatsword". See the difference? Small trees don't give 100% cover IMO. I gave you a concealment chance (20%) and 50% cover. He has sharp shooting. He is a crack shot archer with a cool bow. He hits you.I think I have explained my grievances satisfactorily. If not: That's what this thread and email is here for.Rav</blockquote>
