[QUOTE="thalmin, post: 6313972, member: 662"] Missing out on .5 hp of damage per attack bothers me much less in game than another player telling me I should play his idea of an ultra-optimized character. I am not trying to win a tournament. I am playing a story-based game in which enjoyment is based on the story were are creating/telling. It is more about the journey than the destination. I don't need the rules to give me a reason to use my weapon of choice. This axe was my father's axe, and his father before him. It is the weapon I know how to use best. It honors their memory. It has a long history. If a fellow party member questions my choice, I might explain it to him. If he makes fun of my choice or tells me I am stupid for making my choice, he will end up with a fat lip. In character. If another player tells me I am not optimized, I will say I know, but it's my character. If he says "Well that's just stupid" or "That's just wrong" I will know one of us is sitting at the wrong table. [/QUOTE]
