[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5610542, member: 18701"] It sounds more like you just want to brag about your awesome PC & how good you are at making PCs more than the fact that you are concerned about outshining anyone. I mean really, if you feel there is some dilemma here and you [B]are[/B] concerned about these "noobs", then why exactly are you using your [I]advanced knowledge[/I] to play a spiked chain wielding warforged that can tackle any in game situation? It really isn't that hard to figure out how to deal with this issue if you really give a crap. If you don't want to step on anyone's toes, then get rid of the shatter ability so the rogue can pick some locks. You'll never even need to worry about the power "getting out of hand" if you don't have it. Don't make a cleric so you won't use your advanced knowledge to make the new cleric player aware of how much his PC is going to suck compared to yours. If any of your other abilities may be in direct competition with another players PC, then switch it out for something else that will still help the group but not be stepping on anyone's toes. Or, if everyone was cool with it, you could help people tweak out their PCs and do it in a way where nobody is taking the spotlight away from any other character. That should pretty much do it. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is besides to brag and show how lame new players are. I'm really not trying to be a prick here. I'm just answering honestly based on the info you provided and hoping that you are wanting an honest answer to your post. To answer this question, the way I'd really deal with it is that I wouldn't invite you back to the game. I'd rather play with the "noobs" as you call them because new players can be a lot of fun for a DM. A DM also doesn't have to deal with BS from most new players (like making a tricked out PC that will take all the spotlight from others every chance he gets). Even though you don't consider it a powergamed PC, you made a powergamed PC compared to what the other players are playing. [/QUOTE]
