To be fair, I have no problem with someone "power gaming" in general. I do it during DA, I do it when I play MMOs. I try to lean to the more competitive, while still leaving some room for casual dumb fun.
The problem, from my eyes, is that you are wanting to power game in an RPG that does not have a system intended for power gaming. This RPG is not meant to be that nail biting of a competition, where its rigid and every point matters. There are other things for that. This RPG is intended to be a flexible and loosely based on stats, just so some people can hang around and write something and not focus too much on figuring out how to best get an advantage, and yet still enjoy themselves. I love games that are based around that, but this is not one of them. We adjusted the system to fits the needs of the playerbase, not the player.
