[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7598881, member: 22779"] It's far too easy to get lost in the weeds with specific examples which are always biased towards "proving" a particular point. I have been quite clear about my views on this and I don't think I need to explain further. If you cannot or will not play the character in front of you or at the very least, make an earnest attempt to do so, then you are not particularly welcome at my table. Is emptying a cart to make it lighter an earnest attempt to play your character? Then it is probably fine. OTOH, is the reason your character has an 8 Str and 8 Int because you are pretty obviously min/maxing your character because you think that you can do an end run around the skill system by playing "smart"? Then, well, there's the door. I'm having a really difficult time believing that. And a really difficult time thinking that you are answering in good faith. So, I can min/max my character so long as I do good on the talky talky, and I can end run around the game systems. Great. Good to know. I have no interest in playing at this table. Yeah, again, using examples is always diving into the weeds. I regret using it. So, to be perfectly clear. Play the character you brought to the table. Sure, you can try to engage in a social challenge, go right ahead. BUT, know that you will very likely fail difficult challenges [b][u]regardless[/u][/b] of what approach you use. Because, at my table, you are going to roll BEFORE you narrate. [/QUOTE]
