@sinbad eg my horrible little kobold is tiny and clearly an archer. So I picture people rushing into melee, and finding out that she's also the physically strongest in the party when she starts grappling and whacking them with a hammer...
but in practice, it's just mathematically likelier that she'll miss and nothing happens, and I should have minmaxed instead.
(admittedly, some of the weapon masteries were a small step towards improving this)
...sry I think my meds are kicking in oooo

@sinvega as a player and GM I hate minmaxing, and especially when a system rewards it too much, making players who didn’t and made interesting characters instead feel bad. Arguably D&D is better than it used to be here but it still has it. Minmaxxed characters also cooperate less because they don’t need to and you can end up with a kind of jock/nerd dynamic which I hate. I prefer fuzzier systems
