I am a bit of both, I don't cheat, but I choose the best weapons, not what looks the coolest, except when I have two armors that give -1 AC and one is cooler than the other.

In PnP, I am pure Roleplayer.

Considering the fact that I play an Elven Ranger who refuses to use Crom Faeyr (or any other blunt weapons, or axes) and only wears leather armor, I guess that I am a roleplayer. But, it only took 10 reloads to take out Firkraakg.

Considering that the whole Roleplayer versus Powergamer is my favorite rant, and I have posted several times on the subject, I'll shut up now...

Roleplayer -- all the way. Although if the stats are bad at the beginning, they have a nasty tendency to fall on their own swords in early practice ...

Definitely a roleplayer, I make sure my characters always have decent stats (e.g 18 WIS for a priest) but also try and give them stats like CHR,INT and WIS that fit their character and personality even when they aren't necessary for their class, and I choose weapons proficiencies that fit the character (rather than specialising everyone in longswords, axes and bows!) In dialogues I always try and think of what reply my character would give.

The only occasion I really "powergamed" and behaved in a way that didn't fit my character was to choose the evil path in the Trademeet subquest with the feuding families, I HAD to have that Elven Chainmail!
