[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7246403, member: 2525"] In our games, wizard players tend to be very good and keeping their PCs from ever getting hit in the first place. They make concentration checks extremely rarely, and expect if they do get hit it's common for them to go down. But our healers have their backs, and our fighters tend to be melee fighters who get in the faces of foes as a means of protecting wizards. It's never been suicide to play a low Con wizard in our 5e games. It's not a factor of counter-optimizing, it's often that none of us really cares much about optimization as a concept. I don't have anything against people who view the game like that...until they tell others that it's the only right way to play the game. That's really the only time the optimizers bug me. (which you have not done by the way, I was just explaining my reaction which started this part of the thread - where someone said they judge players who don't optimize and would give their fighter a high charisma poorly, while simultaneously telling others to respect different play styles).
