I want to talk to my fellow character
0:01
optimizers minmaxers munchkins whatever
0:04
you call yourselves and I want to offer
0:05
you a quick bit of advice at some point
0:08
in your life you are going to find
0:09
yourself at tables where you are the
0:12
only Optimizer you might be the only one
0:14
with a thorough understanding of the
0:15
rules of the game you might be the only
0:17
one who's putting in the effort to build
0:19
detailed mechanically powerful
0:22
characters and that's not a situation
0:25
that you should shy away from you don't
0:27
need to bring a crazy optimized
0:30
character to those tables use those
0:32
opportunities to explore those lower
0:34
powerered options that look like they're
0:36
really fun to play even if they're not
0:38
super powerful all of those things that
0:40
you've looked at and thought wow this
0:42
theme is fantastic but the mechanics
0:45
just don't match that is a perfect
0:47
opportunity to play those characters you
0:49
might be able to optimize them a little
0:51
bit without going overboard and because
0:53
you're using those less powerful options
0:56
you'll be able to explore them without
0:57
outshining everybody else at the table
1:00
you get have fun in in the optimizing
1:03
way that we all love but at the same
1:05
time you're not detracting from what
1:08
everyone else at the table might enjoy
1:10
and you're not going to cause problems
1:12
with mechanics you're not going to cause
1:13
trouble in combat and the DM won't have
1:15
to cater to specifically your character
