Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psionicist" data-source="post: 63221" data-attributes="member: 1874">I have noticed something here over the past 2 years, namely the fact that either (1) 95% of the EN World users have problems with power gaming in their group or (2) 95% of the EN World users are power gamers.Because ALWAYS when I read info on new systems,  rules questions, info on a new spells, prestige class, splat books whatever there are at least 1 - usually way more members - who have a knack of finding weak spots and how to abuse the rules, and writes something like"But DUH! That is overly broken! If you do X, Y and Z you can take feat A, B, C and skill D at level K. Add one-two levels of class W... blah blah blah... Cast the spell combo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... THAT IS SO GOD DANG POWERFUL YOU MORON!". It might be the nicest of threads, about something with great roleplaying potential, lots of interesting stuff and so on. It can also be a comment to the "Axe Master" prestige class.My question is: So what? Are you a power gamer? Do you know a powergamer who would do this? Why would anyone actually do this? What's the problem really? Whats YOUR problem?Don't get me wrong here, I value balance as everyone else, BUT I see no point what so ever in creating a checklist for creating a SLAYER character, and worry about it and complaining about how bad things are because it's "broken". Maybe it's just my group but we value roleplaying more than rollplaying and can without problems handle immortal level 1 characters equally balanced too level 1 elven bards created with standard rules, 75 points total (not point buy, the total of all 6 stats added together), with role playing penalties and such of course.Why cannot your group? Obviously it can't because of all these replies. And there are LOTS of replies. Just check the rules and house rules forum....Munchkins</blockquote>
