[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6770284, member: 7006"] I should also say that on top of my response above... because of the fact I do know the rules of the game I don't tend to deliberately make choices to gimp my character, but I also won't make specific "best in slot" selections either if they are off-theme. So for instance, if I'm playing said "town butcher" above and decide to make him a Fighter via Point Buy... I'm not going to give him an 11 STR "just because", I'll still buy him a 15 STR because he *is* a Fighter after all. But I also won't automatically go the Polearm Master / GWF build (despite it being an "optimized" Fighter build)... but rather I'd probably choose a weapon most likely to make sense for a town butcher going out on his first adventure (handaxe (cleaver) perhaps to start, maybe graduating to either dual wield handaxes or up to a battleaxe after a couple fights as he becomes more competent with combat.)
