[QUOTE="Jupp, post: 2910294, member: 20804"] I dont see min-maxing is a bad thing all over the place. If you think about it then min-maxing is a natural thing. Look at professional sprinters, football players, computer specialists, etc, etc. They do min-maxing as well. Look at roman gladiators or English longbow men. They all aimed for the best gear that money could buy and were training specifically for what they were doing in their "jobs". I do not care too much about min-maxing since it is a natural thing. If you specialise in what you are doing it could save your butt in the next fight. But, isnt there always a but, what I find a bit irritating is when players start to min-max outside of the role they are playing. I somehow do not understand the people that take 1 level of class X just to get this and that feat/skill/whatever. Or if they choose class/race combinations just because a certain combination gives them more points. I know it's a fine line I am drawing here and some of it might sound contradictionary, but here I go :) If the min-maxing stays withing the role you are playing and there is not too much meta thinking behind it, then I am totally okay with it. Otherwise I find it somehow strange. But everyone his own. If the group has fun while playing with their chars I do not really care. [/QUOTE]
