[QUOTE="Goblyns Hoard, post: 2910364, member: 19970"] I agree with most of what you say mate - but am going to take the opportunity to disagree with this one. I don't think planning a 20 level build for a campaign right from the start is a 'poor' style, but I do think that rigidly sticking to that plan in spite of what happens in the campaign is. Yes plan where you think the character wants to go from the start, but if something big happens along the way then you should reflect that in your character. Rigidly sticking to your build to optimise the character in a way that doesn't reflect on what's happening in the game is (IMO) the difference between the roll and role of our hobby. That said - I'm not opposed to min-maxing... absolutely you should work toward your character being as effective as he should be. But if the campaign has a significant impact on your character then a player should respect the effort their DM has put into the campaign enough that they will reflect it in their character.
