| Mar 6, 2015 at 16:50 | comment | added | Matthew Najmon | @RBarryYoung The problem with that is that it is the setup half, and the important half (where I actually answer the question) is already done by both Eugene Ryabtsev and Hey I Can Chan. With nothing to add to the actually-answering half that they haven't already covered, creating another answer just to include this setup in it would just dilute the good answers. I would welcome either of them to include what I wrote as an edit to their answers, but doing so would be too big of a change to their meaning to be appropriate for me to add myself as a third-party edit. | |

| Mar 6, 2015 at 15:57 | comment | added | Matthew Najmon | -1: This is D&D. The entire system is mostly built around the premise that, yes, violence does solve everything. Your specific questions: 1) Eats, sleeps, looks for fights. 2) kills stuff, takes their stuff 3) How long does this take? RAW says zero. 4) If the problem can't be solved by bashing it, he buys a solution with money gotten by bashing things 5) the OP explicitly specifies a competent optimizer. he's not that if this happens. mechanics can solve backup plans too. 6) This is D&D. If a challenge doesn't cater to killing stuff, let the Face handle it, and get on with the killing. | |

| Mar 6, 2015 at 10:35 | comment | added | Theik | I didn't personally downvote you, but I assume it is because optimization in DnD3.5 doesn't have to involve being only good at combat. You can literally make characters that can do anything better than any specialized class, purely by browsing the prestige class shop. | |
