[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2969746, member: 30035"] I had to think about the choices for a moment before choosing which option I would vote for. I don't think of myself as a min-maxer, but on reflection I felt I had to select "I usually min-max and would min-max" to be honest. In the group to which I belong it is our standard procedure to keep re-rolling the dice as many times as we like until we get a set of results we're satisfied with, then assign those results to attributes in whatever order we choose. When I design a character if I need a particular attribute for a class ability, such as spellcasting, I will usually put the highest score rolled into that attribute. If I have a racial penalty to a particular attribute I put a high score into it, and lower scores into attributes that receive racial bonuses. If I had a character with sub-optimal ability scores - meaning less than 11, for my personal definition of the term 'sub-optimal' - I would probably select feats that would give me bonuses to some of those abilities. Playing a character with low attributes can be fun, but for the most part it isn't as satisfying to me as playing a character with at least some high attributes. Does that make me a min-maxer?
