Just because you can emploit the game engine does not mean you have to. How can you be proud of yourself after completing a game, if you exploited it? It's like playing poker with somone who does not know the rules, and inventing new hands. How can you then be proud of your victory? That cheating.[/QUOTE]While I completely agree with you in principle, & create my characters in the same vein that you do, I can't honestly fault people for exploiting the game engine. Rather, I see it as a fault of the game engine itself that there really aren't any penalties for having a 3 Int Fighter (or Monk, or Sorcerer!!!).
Granted, I would never recommend someone Min/Max when creating a character, but I wouldn't call it cheating. There absolutely *should* be drawbacks to creating such a dimwit character, but there aren't. Your analogy should, IMO, be modified to read "playing poker with someone who doesn't know what the Wild Cards are, but *should*". It's the game that's flawed for allowing it, not necessarily the players who use what's available to them (although, I must stress again, I don't do it myself & don't recommend it to anyone who really wants to enjoy the game).
