Basically being godlike, unbeatable uber powergamer who can take on anything without breaking a sweat [img]smile.gif[/img] A roleplayer is someone who trys and act out the roll they have set themselves. IE Always following the good/evil path whichever is their nature. And not using uber items in games like in BG2 the Cloak of Cheating and The Holy Uberer. |

im a roleplayer often playing the weaker classes like a bard
ive roleplayed the good, the evil, the ugly, the stupid, the brilliant, the beautiful, etc etc etc. but theres something about evil....they seek to make themselves powerful often at the expense of others. So i suppose when im roleplaying evil, i would also be considered a powergamer by using those most heinous "uber" items since im in the mentality of power being all that is worthwhile in the world. |

roleplay..the powergaming thing is boring! I usually play a bard or cleric in the IWD/BG games. In online games a sorceress/bard etc.. [img]smile.gif[/img]
