by proto-self do you mean the player controlling me

Absolution

Yeah. @Zeeviel

well he/she isn't very good at min/maxing

sais u

It's an RPG.

I am a supperior life form

My player needs to fucking get good

Good RPers don't minmax.

Also why did they choose these shitty stats

in MMOs they do

u monkeys got nothing on m

the mmo genre hasnt cared about roleplaying in years. pretty sad

Die rolls determined the stats, they just placed the numbers.

@Laucivol I disagree

good role players play interesting characters

Birds of prey, meet apes of the hamburger.

Right, which means not minmaxing, generally. XF

min maxed characters can still be interesting

And like I said *generally*.

currently I am playing a sniper that can deal 4 shots a round at 3k feet

that one shot most enemies

and she is a great character

I would say no still

generally minmaxed characters are not made by good rpers

It's not *always* true that mary sues are boring, just much of the time if they over focus on that thing they're good at.

depends on who youre playing with i guess. as long as your character has some decent flaws

You can do both technically

but good rpers don't need to deliberately gimp their characters

As I said, it's a generality for a reason. Lol

oh yeah I am glass cannon to the max

there is a reason I deliver damage from 3k

if your character is literally perfect in every way with no personality flaws at all it's pretty boring

if I actually get tagged I am done

well that's beyond minmax imo

that's straight munchkining

i guess when people say minmaxing in tabletop rpg terms i think of someone who only cares about the numbers

meh, My characters have mostly been memes played straight
