[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8627129, member: 67338"] it may sound weird but I found myslef (back in 4e) having to explain almost that exact qustion. (I am well into overweight) I had a player who was always trying to find the perfect build, the perfect 'way' to play 4e. He would get mad when people chose subobtimal (even slightly) choices. His argument was "Any sane person would see the best route to there goal and take it" so I asked if I (then slowly others) was sane? I then said "In the real world the way to get ahead is pretty well known right?" and he of course said no, but I asked "Is it getting a degree for an in demand job or going for what you want?" I followed up with "Smoking is unhealth so no one should smoke right?" (by the way he smoked). "I mean going to the jim eating right learning basic psychology and how to influence people are all pretty basic things we can all do right..." once he got the idea I came back to "How many people do you know who live an optimal life?"
