[QUOTE="PenguinKing, post: 181922, member: 2817"] Once, I believed that obscene twink-out power-gaming was solely the province of twelve-year-old boys - either in body or in mind. No longer. For you see, I have met the ultimate power-gamer. This player's collection (yes, [i]collection[/i]) of character sheets reads like a "World's Greatest High-Level Smackdowns" compendium. They've got prestige classes I've never even [i]heard[/i] of - and that's impressive in its own right. Would you believe quadruple-digit hit points? Legitimately? Oi... And the revelation? This power-gamer is twenty years old... and female. And she [i]knows[/i] she's a munchkin. In her own words, "I give a whole new meaning to the word overkill." I don't know about the rest of you, but telling an older woman that no, she can't play that 30th-level Paladin/Sorcerer* in my upcoming low-level campaign is a new experience for me. ;) - Sir Bob. * (which she claims to have cooked up with a downloaded bootleg copy of the Epic-level rules, no less... O_o; ) [/QUOTE]
