Minmaxer's Delight	comment	The advantage/power/feat/character option equivalent of One Stat to Rule Them All. May overlap with Game-Breaker, though the ability just might be a no-brainer to take or very good rather than broken. Also, it may be a disadvantage whose point value far exceeds the inconvenience it causes, that is, the opposite of That One Disadvantage. As the trope name indicates, it is a godsend to players who enjoy Min-Maxing. These types of player abuses are most easily countered with Rule Zero — the Game Master is always right. Abuses can be completely averted with a simple "No" from the GM.

Once you've gotten about half way through the game the amount of money you're earning through grinding and story missions is so large than you can scale back the money to about 5% in exchange for almost doubling the amount of xp you earn without any real impact. Add in the enemy level up tiles and harder enemies options and it's incredibly easy to fly through the levels.

The "Perfection" Motivation could technically be misconstrued as a disadvantage in that it lowers your stat total by 1, but its specificities (+5 to one stat, -3 to two, all chosen by the player) just amplify minmaxing because it's very easy to choose two Dump Stats.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_19350db9	comment	In Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares, you had the trait picks: creative (get every tech at each tech level instead of only picking one, this logarithmically makes you more powerful if you remember to stop improving planets and make ships at some point) as well as the Unification government that grants a flat 50% bonus to food and production. Klackons (who naturally have Unification) are balanced because they are uncreative and get a random tech instead of choosing one, a custom race can take both advantages for 15 points, leaving 'em 5 to get some more advantages. Theortically you could decide not to get max flaws instead, but since creative will let you fix most/all disadvantages in midgame at no extra cost you SHOULD get as many flaws as you can get for "free" advantages. And let's not forget autolab. While not a "I win game over" tech by itself, it will bring you those at remarkable speed with remarkably low effort even for a tech-penalized race. Telepathy can make a lot of disadvantages more or less irrelevant, particularly if you play aggressively in a crowded universe. It allows you to instantly integrate an enemy planet into society as soon as you have defeated planetary defenses if you have a sufficiently large ship in the conquering fleet. You do not need to invade or bombard, so there is no damage to the planet. If you know a bit about min-maxing, you will immediately see how this can be exploited; you can take unification (essentially a hive-mind: great bonuses to production, but it is very hard to integrate other species) as your government since integration is instant anyway. You can choose a race that sucks at ground combat since when you are invading, there is no ground combat, and you can rely on other things than ground combat when you are defending. As a matter of fact, you can choose a race that sucks at everything: ground combat, farming, working, researching, and reproduction. You are going to conquer a more useful race anyway as the first thing you do, so these disadvantages will not slow you down much anyway. Just choose things that make your society very powerful (such as: creativity, telepathy, and unification government). Particularly when combined with the above, penalties to ship defense and ground combat are effectively free points. You can ignore ship defense by being aggressive. Ground combat techs tend to be the least impactful at each level, so Creative species will be the only ones improving regularly; your squishy soldiers armed with Phaser Rifles ensconced within Powered Armor with personal shields and anti-gravity harnesses will run roughshod over your opponents with a paltry +10 bonus. And if you're not Creative because you want a more challenging game, you can always just build twice as many transport ships as your enemy.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_1af341a1	comment	Disgaea outright encourages this with the Big Bang skill. It's a fist move that covers a 3x3 area. And rest assured, there will be a map late in the game that features powerful enemies arranged in just such a manner that a single Big Bang clears the map. Combining this with Stronger Enemies bills is the secret to having your characters reach the Absurdly High Level Cap of 9999. So no matter what your party's makeup is, and what weapons they favor, you will teach all the humanoid members Big Bang at some point. Disgaea 5 downplays this by giving every non-Staff humanoid weapon at least one 3x3 skill, allowing all humanoid classes to easily benefit from "here's a grid of enemies for you to smash for EXP" stages without having to change weapon types.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_1f630f72	comment	Dark Souls III: The Prisoner's Chain is a ring that boosts your Vigor (HP), Endurance (stamina), and Vitality (equipment load) by 5 points each, while lowering all of your defenses by 4%. A pittance for what amounts to 15 free levels. It's practically mandatory if you want to optimize your character and still stay within the metagame's level range for PvP. Of course, you have to beat a superboss to get it... Infusing a weapon with a Raw Gem gives it a sizable damage boost but removes all scaling. Reinforcing the weapon will continue to add damage. While this can be a disadvantage, Raw Gems are found in several places in the early game, when your weapons have a low reinforcement level (meaning that the damage they gain from your stats is much less efficient than in the late game) and your stats are the lowest they'll be all game. Raw Gems are especially important for Pyromancers, who have to dump so many points into Attunement, Inteligence, and Faith that they're looking to have the lowest possible Strength and Dexterity they can get away with. Relatedly, Crystal, Blessed, Dark, Hollow, Lightning, Simple, and Chaos Gems will all decrease Strength and Dexterity Scaling but replace it with scaling in a stat that the weapon didn't previously have, making any weapon that can be infused suited to Sorcerers, Clerics, Pyromancers, and status-afflicting builds, all of whom are keeping their commitments to Strength and Dexterity minimal.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_2192aeb3	comment	In most Fire Emblem games, a mounted or flying traits is this, since being mounted translates into extra mobility, the ability to re-move after certain actions, and perform rescue dropping actions efficiently. Flying combines this with the ability to ignore terrain, at the cost of no terrain defense bonuses and being slaughtered by bows. Combined with several other factors, and lack of balancing factors between mounted and infantry units, and the tier lists for practically every Fire Emblem game is dominated by Mounted and Flying units, with some utility and exceptional combat units appearing here and there. The Jugdral games have it worst. Genealogy has massive maps, which resulted in mounted units having complete dominance over the cast. Thracia is filled with obscenely broken staffs on both sides, to the point that at the late game, there are only 2 kind of units, ones with a staff rank and high magic and ones that don't have a staff rank. Skill example: Galeforce from Fire Emblem: Awakening. It allows the user a full extra action after killing an enemy, which includes attacking again. This skill greatly increases both a unit's offensive power and mobility, and a full army of Galeforce users can wipe out entire maps in a single turn. It being exclusive to females (being a Pegasus Knight skill) is a big reason behind Awakening's Game Favoured Gender, but male children can inherit it from their mothers. Getting Galeforce on as many characters as possible is the biggest concern for Minmaxers when making pairings. Galeforce was such a Game-Breaker that Fire Emblem Fates not only nerfed it, they also made the class that gives it DLC-only.

Roman (a survivor who excels in combat), in particular, becomes a Game-Breaker provided he's in a good mood. Substance addictions (coffee drinkers and smokers) are also rendered redundant as long as the player does good deeds.

This is tremendously useful, because it lets you get better protection from armor in terms of damage and hitstun resistance without losing mobility or vice-versa. Most of the other rings not affecting magic have effects that are much more situational (like increasing a single defense by an amount heavier armor would almost cover for all types) or have significant drawbacks (like the Ring of Favor and Protection, which boosts several stats but is lost forever if you take it off). Because of this and its early availability, the majority of players not focused entirely on magic have Havel's Ring on for most of their playthrough. Future installments in the series nerfed the amount increased to 10-20% (though partially because both allow four rings instead of two), on top of making armor itself less powerful. The spell Power Within gives boosted damage and stamina regeneration while taking Damage Over Time, which essentially every character build benefits from, which is pretty manageable because you can have as many as twenty Estus. It can be used by anyone for little to no cost, as its only stat requirement is taking up one Attunement slot (something every starting class either has to begin with or needs 1-2 levels to reach). After being entirely absent in the second game, it returned in the third with half the damage boost (20%), and a duration of only 30 seconds, although this was balanced out by having it only cost 30% of your HP instead of all of it). Ascending a weapon down one of the elemental paths (Fire, Lightning, or Chaos) significantly increases its base damage at the cost of eliminating all stat scaling (how much bonus damage the weapon gets from your stats). This means the weapon hits just as hard whether you've maxed out your Strength and Dexterity, or whether you only have the minimum amount required to use the weapon in the first place. Sure, a normal weapon with the right stats leveled will be more powerful, but elemental weapons are still plenty strong, and you have that many more levels you can dump into Vitality and Endurance in order to tank yourself up. For proof of their effectiveness, just ask everyone's favourite meme build, the Giant Dad.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_295048d5	comment	In Bloodborne, the most powerful Blood Gems (gems that you slot into your weapon to boost its stats) are "cursed" and come with a random negative effect. Some of these negative effects are far more desirable than others. For instance, your serrated fire-damage weapon you carry explicitly for killing beasts isn't going to be too terribly disadvantaged by "attack vs. the kin down" since you aren't going to be fighting kin with it anyway, and "attack vs. beasts down" is likewise a non-issue for a specialized kin-killing weapon. And neither one will matter in PvP since other players aren't beasts or kin. For general PvE, "increased stamina consumption" is typically the way to go since even stacking three of this disadvantage on the same weapon amounts to maybe one less swing before you run out of stamina, if that, and has no effect at all on guns since they cost no stamina to fire anyway. Likewise, "durability down" has no effect on guns since they never lose any durability in the first place.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_2b70efd4	comment	Depending on the game, a min-maxer in some Old World of Darkness games could get points for some truly pathetic flaws. Do you wear glasses and have a mild caffeine addiction? That could be leveraged into two points in a game where new characters have only 15 discretionary ones to spend. A real munchkin could go so far as to buy shatter-resistant lenses, carry a back-up pair, and then have a small supply of caffeine pills on hand just in case the StoryTeller ever tried to put the character at a disadvantage. Such lame flaws tended to get rejected by the GM, of course, but they were there in the rules as written.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_352c8f1e	comment	Star Trek Adventures: The Quick to Action talent. During the first round of combat, the players can keep initiative for zero cost to their momentum. Since STA runs on a Players-Opponents-Players turn format this quickly results in the players essentially being able to do major damage to the opponent before they even get to start. A very common houserule amongst STA GMs is to limit it to one time. Anything with the Vicious Quality applies. For every effect rolled, the "effect" gained is an extra point of damage. On very high damage rolls sufficient effects can be One-Hit Kill. Phasers during space combat are significantly more powerful than Torpedoes due to the "Versatile" quality, which gains momentum per effect rolled. A very well rolled Phaser shot as a result can max out the momentum pool immediately and have overflow momentum that can used immediately for extra damage. Melee Combat on the ground is very powerful and frequently preferred by players over energy weapon combat. First, Melee Combat is Turn Agnostic as every melee check is an opposed task, and whomever wins the rolls is the attacker, meaning that players can frequently spend momentum for extra dice to overpower an enemy attacker and then defeat them. In addition, the Talent Mean Right Hook gives melee combat the aforementioned "Vicious" quality, making it much easier to knockout an enemy despite the general lower damage output of hand-to-hand combat. General Melee Weapons are also very powerful in their own right despite coming with a Threat cost, but also have Vicious 1 quality and have higher base damage than unarmed strikes, meaning that while they minimally increase the GM's potential to fight back, the players have a significantly higher chance of giving the enemies a bad day. Hand Phasers "Charge" quality is also very popular though in a more Boring, but Practical way. As a minor action, a player can use a Charge to activate a stun or wide beam effect. If the player is lucky and rolls an effect as well the player can easily trigger a Wide Angle Stun Area of Effect. In Non-Combat talents, the Advanced Sensors Talent for starships is almost universally taken because it reduces the difficulty of all scans done by the ship by one. This makes it unlikely the players will have Failed a Spot Check when using the ship's sensors very unlikely as when using the ship's sensors the players are rolling three dice and the odds of a what would be a Difficulty 5 or 4 task (which would be reduced to 4 or 3 with the talent) appearing are very slim for most GMs. Related to this - Science Officers also get a bonus free Obtain Information anytime they do a scan with the ship's sensors, meaning that Science heavy ships frequently can acquire the required information immediately.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: The Quickstep and Bloodhound Step skills give dashes as alternates to the usual dodge roll, which cost a small amount of FP, but have much better distance, invincibility, and recovery—enough that just spamming them lets you avoid some otherwise extremely difficult to dodge attacks. They originally worked the same regardless of your equip load. Whether you fight up close or at range, magical or physical, essentially any build benefits greatly from putting their respective Ashes of War on your weapon—if not on your primary, then a lightweight Stat Stick you can easily switch to. Bloodhound Step eventually had the recovery nerfed enough to provide a window of vulnerability and doesn't move you as far at higher equip load, but both remain uniquely valuable in a game where few of the Ashes of War serve defensive function. Putting a Cerulean Hidden Tear in your Flask of Wonderous Physick reduces all FP costs to zero for fifteen seconds. If you're a mage, that's still enough time to launch a burst of magic that can take a huge chunk of life off strong enemies, especially if you use Lusat's Glintsone Staff, which is the strongest sorcery staff in the game but has the downside of making all spells cast with it cost 50% more FP. One of the earliest discovered Cheese Strategies in the game involved combining this Tear with Comet Azur, a giant magical Kamehame Hadoken that obliterates pretty much anything in seconds but chews through your FP even faster. If you aren't a mage, you only need a few seconds of the buff to summon powerful spirits that would otherwise require dozens of points in the Mind stat (because even your max FP wouldn't be enough to use them). Either one is quite a step up from the much milder Status Buffs most of the other Tears provide.

For example lowering melee damage on ranged weapons, or lowering ranged damage on melee weapons. Certain play styles don't need speed at all and can have it lowered without missing it, and the negative Heart Boost modifier (which decreases the amount of currency you get by defeating enemies) has no effect at all in multiplayer.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_4895f82	comment	In the early days of Asheron's Call, the Item Magic skill quickly became almost mandatory to have in order to have a viable character in the game. Item Magic allows you to buff your items, debuff enemy items, makes locks easier to pick, makes it easier to identify the stats on items, and teleport to nearly any location in the game, provided there's a portal there and you've seen said portal (though you could only be bound to one portal at a time). The game world is approximately the size of Rhode Island and one easily accessible dungeon had portals to nearly every city. It didn't take long to reach a point where even an otherwise pure melee character would find it necessary to acquire Item Magic either from character creation or as soon as possible afterward, if only for the fast travel to that dungeon.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft The game has the Talent system, which is a variant of the Alternate Advancement system from Everquest. Some of the talents were so utterly ubiquitous that every specialisation branch of a class had its ultimate, mathematically proven to be the best, distribution and everybody was using it. Cataclysm redesigned the system for talent trees to still have a base skeleton of "must take" talents with everything else being useful in some cases, but optional and chosen on personal preferences. One example is playing a Priest. You have 3 specializations to choose from: Shadow (damage dealer, enemy debuffer), Holy (healer), and Discipline (a little of both, plus being a Barrier Warrior). Now, if you're going to be a Discipline Priest, it's almost guaranteed you'll take those talents that boost you "Power Word: Shield" (the "barrier" in the Discipline's Barrier Warrior). Also, if you want to do more than just cast shields on everybody, you might want to take those talents that buff the few offensive Holy spells you have. Unless your group is totally incompetent, you won't need to heal them all the time, right? The talent changes in Mists of Pandaria are trying to avert this. Talent selection is down to a simple choice of pick one of three talents every fifteen levels, and the talents are balanced and varied so that no one is obviously better than the others. It still doesn't stop people from searching for optimal strategies.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_532d1ef1	comment	In Star Ruler, empires can be given a number of traits which can give it powerful advantages or disadvantages. For example, the popular "Bustling Homeworld" gives you a fully developed homeworld (rather than only a partially developed one) at the cost of 3 points, whereas taking "Fledgling Empire" will only have one structure (your capital) on your homeworld, but it will give you 3 points to spend on minmaxing other traits. Game Mods like Galactic Armory expand the amount of traits, such as better focusing crystals for laser weapons, or weak warheads on missiles. Regardless of other traits, everyone takes the bonuses to Research, because you don't want to be left behind in the Lensman Arms Race. Star Ruler 2 introduces different flavors of Faster-Than-Light Travel with unique mechanics and benefits. You can pick one to use, and only one; Hyperdrive, Slipstream, gates, and Fling. The fifth option is for no FTL travel, period, for a massive +3 points to spend on other traits. Depending on the size of the galaxy(s), no FTL can be either a death sentence or an acceptable loss.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: Completing the Temple of Mara quest line confers the Agent of Mara blessing, a permanent, passive, always-on magic resistance. Magic resistance is useful for any character build and relatively hard to come by, generally requiring high levels of Enchanting skill or using the Lord Stone, which requires forgoing any of several other useful Standing Stone abilities. The quest line is very easy and can be undertaken as soon as the Dragonborn reaches Riften, which can be done by cart almost immediately after starting the game, so there's never any real reason not to do it as soon as possible. Chaos is, bar none, the best weapon enchantment in the game due to the way it scales cumulatively from every perk and item that increases elemental damage. This includes all three Augmented Element perks, all three Elemental Enchanter perks, wearing any of the Solstheim Dragon Priest masks, and being placed on a Stalhrim weapon (bonus effect for Frost enchantments). An optimized enchanter will typically deal hundreds, if not over a thousand points of elemental damage with every hit. And if that wasn't enough, if you have the Dual Enchanter perk, if Chaos is the first enchantment you put on a weapon, it also makes the second enchantment much stronger! In place of the Atronach birthsign, the game has the Atronach Stone, which does pretty much exactly the same thing. It's almost a no-brainer for any build to use the Atronach Stone, as its drawback is once again easily negated with enchanted items (with Enchanting, any mage can craft items to bring down the cost of their main schools of magic to zero anyways). This also stacks with the Atronach perk from the Alteration school of magic, giving you 80% spell absorption on top of any resistances you may also have, making you almost inured to magic. If you have either the infamous Necromage perk or two of Miraak's items, you can become completely immune to magic (this is important because normal Resistances have a cap, disallowing full immunity, while absorption doesn't).

Minmaxer's Delight / int_59da62aa	comment	Fallout: New Vegas: Skilled gives you a +5 to all skills right off the bat, in exchange for a barely noticeable 10% penalty to XP gain. If you take the trait during initial character creation, then remake your character when given the option, you can take it again for another +5 to everything at no extra cost, or drop it and lose the XP penalty, but keep the points. Built to Destroy increases critical hit chance at the cost of having your weapons degrade faster. For crit-focused builds, every increase to crit chance is valuable, and the game has many ways to render weapon durability a non-factor even at an accelerated rate, such as... The Jury Rigging perk allows you to repair any weapon or armor with any other weapon or armor in the same category (for example, you can repair any one-handed gun with any other one-handed gun), rather than needing an exact copy of the item to take parts from. That means you can keep your super-expensive endgame gear in full condition using dirt cheap early game gear, instead of having to pay out the ass for exact copies or for NPC repairs (Raul evidently doesn't call you "boss" out of endearment, he does it because he's expecting a paycheck). It also means that if you happen to find any super-expensive endgame gear that you don't want to or can't use, and it's in poor condition, you can buy some cheap gear to repair it with and then sell it at full condition for a huge profit. This is why Jury Rigging is probably the best perk in the entire game. Old World Blues introduces Logan's Loophole, which lets you take chems with zero chance of addiction and doubled duration (very powerful if you can find a good supply), but fixes the level cap at 30 (as you'll likely have all the DLC if you have one of them, the limit will probably be 50 otherwise). The thing is, Old World Blues also adds a one-time ability to change which traits you have, so you can just have Logan's Loophole until you reach level 30, then get rid of it. Good Natured returns, functioning the same as before, making it a Minmaxer's Delight once again. Heavy Handed increases damage with Melee and Unarmed weapons while decreasing their critical hit damage. Most of the best Melee and Unarmed weapons have a low chance to crit in the first place, so unless you're planning to get a lot of sneak attack crits with melee weapons for some bizarre reason instead of using something more suitable like a silenced sniper rifle, you probably won't care. Hoarder grants +25 lbs to your carry capacity but has the drawback of -1 to all attributes if your carried weight drops below 160 lbs. Given the nature of the game, it's rare that you'll be carrying below 160 lbs worth of equipment unless you're going for a low strength build. The fact that there's 160 lbs worth of items conveniently laying around in the starting house allows you to offset the weight difference in mere minutes after picking the trait up, effectively giving you a free carrying capacity boost for the rest of the game.

This was a must-have for anyone who intended to engage the enemy in close combat, for a simple reason. Until the sourcebook containing merits and flaws came along, Dexterity was One Stat to Rule Them All and Strength was meh. As a result, there were a lot of cheap ways to increase your Strength, not so many for Dexterity. Especially absurd for Lunars, who could just take a tyrant lizard spirit shape and access, from character creation, Strength 14 in a system where 5 is defined as "peak human" strength.

For getting a -2 when making a skill check for which you are untrained (few skills are ever worth using untrained), you gain a bonus trait (traits are small buffs). Another abusable flaw is Naive, which can be taken to get more traits. You receive a -2 penalty to your defense against improvised weapons and -2 CMD vs dirty tricks. These are literally the worst weapons in the game and represent things like someone smacking you with a barstool.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_68c8e9ad	comment	The Super Robot Wars series has a number of skills that are seen as must-takes when available for purchase: SP Regen:SP, the SRW series equivalent of Mana, is the most limited resource in the games and the hardest to replenish. In most games, you must equip consumable items at the expense of stat-boosting parts or use very expensive support spells. SP Regen gives 10 SP per turn and many characters get very useful spells that only cost 10-15 SP. Ditto Attacker. Giving a 1.2x multiplier to damage dealt when above a certain morale threshold makes it mandatory for any boss-slayer and arguably just any unit in general. Attacker is meant to match abilities like Mazin Power or Aggressive Beast that have similar effects, but it just translates into everyone getting the skill instead of it being someone's signature trait.

SP Regen can also be given temporarily to other pilots using an extremely rare part, but only two-three of these are typically made available. The SRW Z2 games have Continuous Action, which allows a character with 120 Morale to take an Extra Turn after defeating an enemy, with the Morale check made after gaining 5 points for making the kill. It only activates once per turn (changing forms/pilots on Transforming Mecha with multiple pilots doesn't reset this), but it breaks the game wide open.

They only yield their benefit (free Hero Points) when and if they disadvantage your character in some way.

Some particularly effective ones include the combination of Non-Lethal and Full Power on an attack 1You cannot pull your punches, but it becomes impossible to accidentally kill someone, or the Check Required flaw 2You need to make a skill check in order to activate the power, with a DC of 10 + Power Rank. A PL 10 character can have up to 15 ranks in a skill, and it's not uncommon to see +5 or greater bonuses to an ability score. If you're focusing on that skill anyway, it's essentially free points. The most broken Drawback is Holding Back, mean to represent potential Superpowered Evil Side. It refunds you several points, and in exchange you can occasionally exceed the power level of the campaign. Most GMs wisely ban it, or remove control from the player while it is in effect.

For the low, low price of making you worse at something you're probably never going to do (for instance, taking the "Shaky" flaw for a pure melee character that doesn't plan on ever making a ranged attack), you get bonus feats, which are very, very, very precious. In extreme cases, your new feat can make you completely immune to something the flaw gave you a weakness to. The splatbook Heroes of Horror introduced the similar mechanic of the Taint of Evil. Exposure to evil causes Depravity or Corruption, moving through the categories of minor, moderate, and severe, picking up a new disadvantage in each category, to a maximum of 6. The catch is that when either of your scores moves to moderate, you get a bonus Feat to represent all the foridden knowledge your exposure has granted you, and then it happens again at severe (while corruption and depravity are tracked separately, they don't award Feats separately; the limit is two bonus Feats total). Some of the Taint penalties have modest bonuses alongside the severe penalties, such as "fused bones," granting +2 STR and -4 DEX. This would already be a Minmaxer's Delight, but the Taint rules say that Evil Outsiders and undead can ignore the negative effects of Taint and keep the Feats. Making an Evil Outsider Player Character is generally not worth it; the level adjustments and racial hit dice cost a lot more than two Feats are worth, and that's assuming you could get a DM to agree to letting you play. The thing is, the unrelated splatbook Libris Mortis centered around undead, including adding the Necropolitan template to allow undead players with minimal drawbacks...which now comes with two free bonus Feats and whatever small bonuses you can scrounge off your Taint score.

Not only is the actual per-level point penalty only 3 (because you gain 2 per level more from the extra point of Intelligence), but there are far more skillbook powerups throughout the game than PIP-Boy stat powerups. And since SPECIAL stats use a Point Build System, you can reassign most of those gained stat points to Intelligence to get a net increase in Skill points*The total skill point loss will be equal to 7 points of INT for 20 levels (the cap in the first game), but you're not going to put points in every skill...but most skills will hit diminishing returns around level 10 anyway. Fast Shot makes all weapons (1) or all ranged weapons (2) fire faster at the expense of being unable to make called shots. Since burst-fire guns can't make called shots anyway, the drawback vanishes around the second town, and at high levels can be used with a few traits to dish out six critical hits each turn (which can very easily make for six kills each turn). Small Frame grants one stat point (which is keyed to Agility, but points can be manually redistributed anywhere) in exchange for reduced carrying capacity. Not so great in Fallout (followers aren't too bright and can't level up or equip better armor), but in Fallout 2 you can get an NPC/Permanent Companion/pack mule in the very first town you enter. If you do the side quest to unlock The Alleged Car, you can use the Highwayman's trunk for mobile long term storage. Good Natured gives boosts to several non-combat skills while reducing all combat skills. The total amount lost and gained are equal, so it seems like a fair trade. The thing is, most players tend to specialize in one type of weapon while all of the non-combat skills are useful for any character, so in practice you're increasing several skills at the cost of lowering only one (that you care about), and can make up the difference in a level or two, which amounts to a large net gain.

If you do the math, the gain from the perk is enormous with even a moderate Intelligence and always bigger than what you'd get by increasing Intelligence (which is the game's "normal" Experience Booster). And, because of the way EXP costs increase each level, even a max Int character will eventually recoup their losses from spending a level on the perk. Ballistic Weave is an armor modification for clothing that gives a ballistic and energy defense boost, with higher levels available the higher your Armorer perk is. It was seemingly included to let players wear regular clothing instead of armor without being ridiculously fragile. In an apparent oversight, you can apply it to several clothes that are wearable with armor and even some hats (which grants the full boost, equal to what's provided by a low-tier power armor helmet), gifting massive defenses to any build with 3 STR for the Armorer perk. All you need to do to unlock it is a few early quests with the Railroad long before being locked into their questline.

Attuning a character with a fairy provided a +1 bonus to all attack rolls (which beats out weapon focus, since the latter only applies to one kind of weapon) and a +2 bonus to Reflex saves (identical to the bonus given by the feat "Lightning Reflexes"), essentially giving the character two feats for the price of one. In addition, faeries had the ability to cast Cure serious wounds once per day as a 5th level caster. There was, however, the disadvantage that the player had to be within 50ft of the attuned creature, and could thus be separated from it (or the creature could presumably be targeted and killed). Not to mention the fact that Fairies are known to never shut up. "Hey, Listen!".

In a game where being checkmated is an otherwise-instant Game Over, Black Mist is a Black Card that gives you an extra life per floor, and it protects you from all kills unless every single square on the board is in check. Prior to an update that made you have 1 less range while it was active, it had absolutely no drawbacks. Any Black Card that increases Firepower if the player doesn't already have one. By increasing your Firepower from 4 to 5, you gain the ability to one-shot Queens and Rooks at point-blank. Ruins is a White card that adds 2 Pawns and a Rook onto the board, but it makes all Rooks have 2 less health. This drops them from a beefy 5 HP to a fragile 3 HP, allowing you to kill them much more quickly and easily. It's generally considered an upside that outweighs the downside of an extra Rook and two Pawns.

That means you can keep your super-expensive endgame gear in full condition using dirt cheap early game gear, instead of having to pay out the ass for exact copies or for NPC repairs (Raul evidently doesn't call you "boss" out of endearment, he does it because he's expecting a paycheck). It also means that if you happen to find any super-expensive endgame gear that you don't want to or can't use, and it's in poor condition, you can buy some cheap gear to repair it with and then sell it at full condition for a huge profit. This is why Jury Rigging is probably the best perk in the entire game. Old World Blues introduces Logan's Loophole, which lets you take chems with zero chance of addiction and doubled duration (very powerful if you can find a good supply), but fixes the level cap at 30 (as you'll likely have all the DLC if you have one of them, the limit will probably be 50 otherwise). The thing is, Old World Blues also adds a one-time ability to change which traits you have, so you can just have Logan's Loophole until you reach level 30, then get rid of it. Good Natured returns, functioning the same as before, making it a Minmaxer's Delight once again. Heavy Handed increases damage with Melee and Unarmed weapons while decreasing their critical hit damage. Most of the best Melee and Unarmed weapons have a low chance to crit in the first place, so unless you're planning to get a lot of sneak attack crits with melee weapons for some bizarre reason instead of using something more suitable like a silenced sniper rifle, you probably won't care. Hoarder grants +25 lbs to your carry capacity but has the drawback of -1 to all attributes if your carried weight drops below 160 lbs. Given the nature of the game, it's rare that you'll be carrying below 160 lbs worth of equipment unless you're going for a low strength build. The fact that there's 160 lbs worth of items conveniently laying around in the starting house allows you to offset the weight difference in mere minutes after picking the trait up, effectively giving you a free carrying capacity boost for the rest of the game. Fallout 4: The Idiot Savant perk randomly gives a massive EXP boost that becomes more likely the lower your Intelligence is. If you do the math, the gain from the perk is enormous with even a moderate Intelligence and always bigger than what you'd get by increasing Intelligence (which is the game's "normal" Experience Booster). And, because of the way EXP costs increase each level, even a max Int character will eventually recoup their losses from spending a level on the perk. Ballistic Weave is an armor modification for clothing that gives a ballistic and energy defense boost, with higher levels available the higher your Armorer perk is. It was seemingly included to let players wear regular clothing instead of armor without being ridiculously fragile. In an apparent oversight, you can apply it to several clothes that are wearable with armor and even some hats (which grants the full boost, equal to what's provided by a low-tier power armor helmet), gifting massive defenses to any build with 3 STR for the Armorer perk. All you need to do to unlock it is a few early quests with the Railroad long before being locked into their questline.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_88b580f0	comment	Earlier versions of the merit Silver Resistance in Werewolf: The Apocalypse. The original version completely negated the Kryptonite Factor for werewolves, including the minor side penalties for carrying any silver around. It was pretty much carte blanche to create an anti-Black Spiral machine. The ability was eventually nerfed so that it only allowed the character to have a chance to soak silver damage (but any damage that got through would be just as crippling as it would be on any other werewolf). Similarly, Fair Glabro. Glabro Form is one of the five werewolf shapes, and while it typically boosts your Strength and Stamina, it leaves you looking like Lawrence Talbot under the full moon. That is, unless you take this two-point Merit that merely leaves you looking like a very hirsute bodybuilder. The starting stats for Rage (which could be spent for extra actions), Gnosis (to fuel spiritual powers), and Willpower (all-around useful for powering a variety of effects) were based off of choice of tribe, auspice (class), and ancestry (human, wolf or werewolf-inbreeding), with some options just giving flat-out more points than any other without a direct compensation elsewhere. Tribe and auspice can't be chosen for maximum points guilt-free, because while an Ahroun (warrior werewolf) gets 5 points of Rage, this doesn't help you at all if you'd like to play a stealthy character and now can't take any supernatural powers related to that because all of those are tied to the Ragabash (trickster) auspice that receives only 1 point of Rage. However, the choice of your breed has a lesser effect: a wolf-born character can't take some human skills at character creation and has access to a different list of gifts than a human one, which isn't any worse. However, the wolfborn does get 5 points of starting gnosis rather than 1 and can always be played as a "fast learner" when it comes to human culture... Then there's the most infamous build: Lupus Stargazer Ahroun. Lupus, as wolf-born werewolves close to nature, start with 5 Gnosis. Stargazers, an Eastern tribe focused on internal balance, start with 5 Willpower. Ahroun, as the righteous warriors of Gaia, start with 5 Rage. Of course, this locks the character into a very specific concept (wild-touched Zen master rage monster). More recent editions have toned it down by giving Stargazers 4 Willpower to start, taking them away from superhuman and more towards the real of other pacifistic tribes such as the Children of Gaia.

Meanwhile you can free up extra points by selling the abilities you start with that are useless or can be bought later on level up. The most notable start-only abilities are First Strike, Cold Strike, and Lightning Strike, because First Strike means that whenever someone attacks you in melee, you get a free attack at them first, while Cold and Lightning strike give you a chance of freezing or stunning them respectively, thus completely negating the attack they were about to make. At high levels you only need First Strike since you'll be doing enough damage to just kill nearly everything outright on the first attack. This combo is so overpowered that the modding community banned First Strike in competitions.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion have a pair of birthsigns which qualify. To note: Endurance is the ruling attribute of each game. Considering that it determines your starting health, as well as your health gain per level, it is a critically important attribute for all character builds. Making Endurance one of your favored attributes during character creation is highly encouraged, even for magic-oriented characters, in order to avert becoming a Squishy Wizard. This turns "The Lady" birthsign into quite the delight, as it gives a sizeable boost to Endurance right at the start of the game. As nearly every other birthsign gives powers or boosts which can be replicated or easily made up for, The Lady is one of only two (see below) birthsigns which should be seriously considered. The one reason not to choose The Lady is if you're planning to play as a pure mage and have a means in mind to make up for your extreme physical squishiness (such as the use of Shield spells, using summoned creatures as meat shields, or wearing armor to become a Magic Knight). In this case, you should choose The Atronach birth sign. It gives the largest possible bonus to your max Magicka pool, but at the cost of not being able to naturally regenerate Magicka. However, it also has another effect: a permanent 50% spell absorption. This gives you a 50/50 chance to absorb any incoming hostile spell, negating the spell while restoring your own Magicka. With this in place, it is fairly easy to make up the other 50% via spells, enchantments, or potion effects of Resist Magic to make you virtually immune to enemy magic attacks (and a dangerous Mage Killer to boot). Skyrim: Completing the Temple of Mara quest line confers the Agent of Mara blessing, a permanent, passive, always-on magic resistance. Magic resistance is useful for any character build and relatively hard to come by, generally requiring high levels of Enchanting skill or using the Lord Stone, which requires forgoing any of several other useful Standing Stone abilities. The quest line is very easy and can be undertaken as soon as the Dragonborn reaches Riften, which can be done by cart almost immediately after starting the game, so there's never any real reason not to do it as soon as possible. Chaos is, bar none, the best weapon enchantment in the game due to the way it scales cumulatively from every perk and item that increases elemental damage. This includes all three Augmented Element perks, all three Elemental Enchanter perks, wearing any of the Solstheim Dragon Priest masks, and being placed on a Stalhrim weapon (bonus effect for Frost enchantments). An optimized enchanter will typically deal hundreds, if not over a thousand points of elemental damage with every hit. And if that wasn't enough, if you have the Dual Enchanter perk, if Chaos is the first enchantment you put on a weapon, it also makes the second enchantment much stronger! In place of the Atronach birthsign, the game has the Atronach Stone, which does pretty much exactly the same thing. It's almost a no-brainer for any build to use the Atronach Stone, as its drawback is once again easily negated with enchanted items (with Enchanting, any mage can craft items to bring down the cost of their main schools of magic to zero anyways). This also stacks with the Atronach perk from the Alteration school of magic, giving you 80% spell absorption on top of any resistances you may also have, making you almost inured to magic. If you have either the infamous Necromage perk or two of Miraak's items, you can become completely immune to magic (this is important because normal Resistances have a cap, disallowing full immunity, while absorption doesn't).

Natures that lower an attack stat a given PokÃ©mon will not use are easily the most popular, in particular Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack), Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack), Jolly (+Speed, -Special Attack), and Timid (+Speed, -Attack). Natures that lower Speed are a close second. While Speed is an important stat for most PokÃ©mon, there are some who are very unlikely to outspeed anything anyways, and actively lowering their Speed even further makes tactics such as Gyro Ball and Trick Room that much more viable.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_a7c9f8e9	comment	Despite the game's nature of having deadly, deadly disadvantages, Legend of the Five Rings is unique in that many of the disadvantages can simply never come up. A Caster can take Elemental Imbalance at maximum ranks for up to 8 free points, and all they have to do is simply never cast from that element which would otherwise be available to them. A Fire Shugenja giving up the ability to cast Earth spells doesn't lose much. Doubt gives several points, at the expense of being slightly worse at a skill you never use. Ascetic is similarly a good choice for characters who don't rely on equipment. Touch of the Void has a chance to daze you when you use Void Points, but improves their benefit. Once you have a high enough Willpower trait to resist being dazed, it becomes purely beneficial. What's more, the penalty from daze doesn't last as long as the bonus from using a Void Point for tasks that take multiple rounds to complete. Touch of the Void goes a step further in delightfulness in the hands of an ishiken (a shugenja capable of using Void spells), largely because of two low-level (read: some builds can start with both of them using the basic chargen rules) Void spells. The first one, Drawing the Void, generates a fairly significant number of Void Points per casting, and it can go over the normal maximum (though points over the maximum fade quickly whether they're spent or not, albeit not quickly enough to prevent stacking up enormous piles of Void Points with repeated castings). The second one, Altering the Course, allows for spending more than one Void Point at a time to boost a roll. If you're spending four or more Void Points on a roll, it doesn't matter if you pass or fail the daze check from Touch of the Void, because Dazed doesn't stack and the extra boost per Void Point spent matches the Dazed penalty on the third Void Point and overwhelms it on the fourth. There is a Bad Fortune disadvantage that states an NPC wants to wreck your love life to have you for his/herself. These NPCs tend to be personally or politically powerful, otherwise they would not have the means to actually affect you given the average PC is a samurai. Some players consider this free points with the guarantee a useful NPC that is interested in them will show up eventually or simply have no love life for this person to ruin by playing a ascetic monk.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_b212951e	comment	Flaws in The Outer Worlds reward 1 free Perk Point in exchange to taking on a permanent, but conditional, debuff to your stats. What really makes these a delight are the conditions themselves being relatively minor if you know which ones are cost-free. Acrophobia is the king of Flaws when taking the above into account, because the debuff will never activate in a relevant combat heavy area with heights in the game. Enemy Phobias (There's one for every alien) only affect your critical chance and weakspot damage to a minor degree, so there's really no risk in taking these unless you have a hard time fighting one enemy type in particular. Far-Sighted and Near Sighted are completely free if your character doesn't use Melee or Ranged combat, but even then the debuff is only -10 to a weapon skill. Impediphobia activates when you're encumbered from carrying too much. Being encumbered is extremely easy to remove by just breaking down excess weapons and armor - and this can be done for free, at any time. On top of that, since encumbrance already has significant penalties by default, you're basically being rewarded for doing the thing you're almost certainly already doing anyway.

Normally these came with extreme restrictions on your options, but in most cases you're only taking them to spam one or two specific units, so the point becomes moot. Similarly, Formations in 7th edition comprised of a single powerful unit usually broke the game in half, as prior to that the only solace your opponent had was that you had to at least burn some points on compulsories.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_be68ee29	comment	Some of the equipment you can find in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U have flawed abilities on them, which generally make the positive to negative stat ratio on them much more appealing, and some of them are notably not much of a problem. Flaws that affect item use, like the one that lowers the damage of thrown items, or the one that lowers the health restored by food, aren't much of a concern since they're very situational; items appear randomly and many players don't play with them turned on anyway. The Risky Respawner flaw is especially useful. The stat gains from it are very high, and all it does is remove the two seconds of invincibility you get when you return to the stage after a death. Not only is it an easy sacrifice to make, but in certain game modes and matches where you only have one life anyway you lose absolutely nothing. The Shield Degenerator flaw is another example. It's usually better to dodge attacks as opposed to blocking them, and the flaw itself isn't really that noticeable at all. Even more effective for characters with counterattacks, which can serve the same purpose.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_d3b17858	comment	Final Fantasy Tactics: The Archer class' Support Ability, Concentration, makes physical and some magical attacks perfectly accurate when they'd otherwise have a large chance of missing. The Samurai class's Blade Grasp Reaction Ability (automatically prevent all damage from an attack) ensures that your units will rarely get physically hit ever again, as long as they have a high Brave score. If that's not good enough, the Monk's Hamedo/First Strike Reaction Ability, while being much more expensive, will prevent all physical melee damage by punching the enemy first, turning it into a counterpunch. Unlike Blade Grasp, it doesn't work on ranged attacks, however. The Calculator skillset lets you cast nearly any spell instantly, at infinite range, at 0 MP cost, essentially turning the character you give it to a Person of Mass Destruction. The Calculator has the shortcoming of its spell targeting being very different from any other class, with the result that the only way to hit the intended target(s) might also put some (or in extreme cases, all) of your own party members in the line of fire. Fortunately, that flaw can very easily be turned in an asset by spamming Holy (a strong spell that no enemy is immune to) and equipping your party members with items that absorb Holy. Once that's done, it's a good thing if your Calculator hits himself and/or an ally with his spell, because they'll be healed by it. The Samurai's Draw Out skill is a varied and powerfull skill that has healing, buffing, and large area magic damage spells that are all instant casting and zero MP cost. It is balanced out by the Samurai's low magic skill, it being far down the fighting job class tree and the fact that every time it's used, there's a chance that it might break the katana used in the skill, and the stronger the skill, the harder the said katana is to aquire, with some of them being normally one-of-a-kind items. Give this skill to a high level black mage and it becomes ridiculously good, especially since the attack spells become one hit kills due to the damage formula's being optimized for the Samurai, and the risk of katanas breaking can be mitigated by either duplicating them or catching thrown copies of them from high level ninjas. The hugely powerful Monk + Double-Strike combo (unarmed attacks + strike twice per attack). Because of the way the Monk class scales damagenote Monk's, because they can't equip weapons, scale their damage 4 times faster than a normal character, meaning that Monk's will get much stronger without needing expensive equipment investmest, at level 50 or so, these tend to deal ~200 damage per hit â€” a feat only matched by Cid. Lancer/Dragoon + Time Magic: A Dragoon's biggest damage dealer is their Jump ability, but the farther they travel, the longer it takes for them to land, and their target could move before they do if you're not paying attention. Giving a Dragoon the Haste effect lets them land twice as fast, and the effect of Haste is not dependent on the Dragoon's magic stat: Haste is either on or off, no in between. If you're willing to spend the points, Dragoons can also get the Quick spell, which makes their Jump attacks unstoppable. Concentrate in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance increases the accuracy of physical attacks by a flat 50% and status effects by 20% (20 and 50 of 100, not of base accuracy). This is in a game where a bunch of classes are balanced around low accuracy, and the latter includes One-Hit Kill moves whose only weakness was a low natural accuracy. A2 massively nerfed it to just a 5% increase (along with making base accuracy for physical attacks 99%). Because MP in A2 starts at 0 and grows each turn. Halve MP and Blood Price are by far the best Support ability for Magick-users.Concerning clan abilities, AP Up can easily be this because only a few of the other in-battle abilities make much of a difference, you'll want more Ability Points to get new abilities (and thus jobs) until you've nearly got 100% Completion, the amount of AP non-story missions give without it is rather pathetic in comparison (AP Up 3 gives triple the base amount), and the other reward-increasing abilities (for Gil and Clan Point) fall firmly into Money for Nothing, .

However, there are some whose consequences are mild to non-existent. These events are usually considered a free-card when it comes to deciding which of the few events of the month to counter: A dark event has Faceless appear in every mission, which is actually beneficial to the player. Faceless are mostly harmless and are used to create Mimic Beacons, making the event a huge boon to someone in the early game or on Legendary and/or Ironman. Civilians are usually best avoided in guerilla operations anyway. The Midnight Raids dark event. It simply doubles the cost of recruits, but since most people intend on preserving their starting pool of soldiers, this is a non-factor almost all the time. Even with Ironman or for players who don't save scum if an outcome is "good enough", this is a non-factor because you can just recruit more soldiers before this goes into effect if you see needing more. Introduced in War of the Chosen is Lost World, enabling The Lost to appear on just about any mission even without the appropriate SitReps. The Lost themselves aren't too hectic to deal with. Undying Loyalty from War of the Chosen gives ADVENT units a chance to revive as Psi Zombies on death. Considering the fact that Psi Zombies have less health than most late-game ADVENT units, this isn't that big of a deal. ADVENT Sealed Armor isn't too much of a fuss, as it only affects the proper ADVENT units, rather than the tougher alien enemies. People don't usually consider ADVENT grunts to be worth wasting ice bombs on. Collateral Damage and Return Fire aren't much of a factor to those who intend to kill first, let the enemy attack never. Avatar Project Breakthrough is this if the aliens have at least one Avatar facility and it's within striking range: As long as an Avatar facility is present, breakthroughs will only increase progress to a facility rather than the "main" counter, and when XCOM destroys a facility all its progress is undone.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_e235270c	comment	Stellaris has the Sedentary species disadvantage, which reduces the odds of populations moving from a full planet to an emptier one while also making resettlement more expensive. Ultimately this winds up not mattering to almost anybody since you generally don't want your populations moving around in the first place and in the event you do resettlement isn't that expensive, penalty or not. This disadvantage is thus rendered so meaningless some people consider it borderline cheating to take it. The immigration penalty is significant (effectively causing 15% of population growth from immigration/emigration to vanish into the cold vacuum of space due to how emigration/immigration calculation is handled, just as its counterpart Nomadic produced new pops from the aether), but population growth penalties and bonuses in general from traits became far less effective in 3.. With the changes to housing and population growth in 3., Solitary (increased housing requirements) has become this. Colonies require large amounts of free housing anyways to maximize growth as of 3.1, and planetary populations don't grow nearly as large. Lower absolute requirements and higher buffer requirements thus combined to make the small percentile increase the next best thing to negligible: it doesn't matter if your population occcupies 40 or 44 housing capacity if you need 60-62 to maximize growth and the most efficient way to adjust it uses increments of 8. This was even worse in the original 3.0 release when it was total housing rather than free housing that affected population growth: building more housing as a consequence of requiring it meant your species population would grow faster than more compact species that didn't need or build as much housing.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS has several "disadvantages" that compel you to kill things and take their stuff. On the flip side, for anyone playing on the complete other end of the heroic scale, you have disadvantages that compel you to act heroic or tell the truth (though for the latter one, there's also the possibility that you're just very blatant when you lie). The Weirdness Magnet "disadvantage." Attract all the weirdest possible events in the world? Some people call that condition "being player characters in an RPG." Handily it gives exactly the number of points needed for the Unflappability talent, which keeps you from panicking when Weirdness Magnet comes up. There is nothing technically illegal about taking the "emergencies only" modifier for a discount on advantages like Hard to Kill, which are by definition emergency powers anyway. In many cases it may be a good idea for combat powers in general, assuming that combat in your setting is, in general, life threatening. A case can also be made for taking a temporary bloodlust disadvantage for emergency combat powers that will only come up in lethal-force situations anyway. The bog-standard set of disadvantages for a typical 3rd edtion GURPS character is Bad Temper, Impulsive, Overconfidence, a 5-point Code of Honor (compeling you strictly to behave nicely to your allies, essentially), and a 5-point Sense of Duty (making you want to behave nicely to your allies). All of those basically make you act like a PC in an RPG, and rare indeed is the PC without at least one of those.

Likewise, since factotums have access to every skill in the game, the Iaijutsu Focus skill from Oriental Adventures is oddly popular as a source of reliable bonus damage.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_e9e265b6	comment	Skill example: Galeforce from Fire Emblem: Awakening. It allows the user a full extra action after killing an enemy, which includes attacking again. This skill greatly increases both a unit's offensive power and mobility, and a full army of Galeforce users can wipe out entire maps in a single turn. It being exclusive to females (being a Pegasus Knight skill) is a big reason behind Awakening's Game Favoured Gender, but male children can inherit it from their mothers. Getting Galeforce on as many characters as possible is the biggest concern for Minmaxers when making pairings. Galeforce was such a Game-Breaker that Fire Emblem Fates not only nerfed it, they also made the class that gives it DLC-only.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_ea91a4bf	comment	In The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, you can set various advantages and disadvantages when making a custom class. Taking advantages makes you more powerful, but slows the rate at which you level up. Taking disadvantages does just the opposite. As such, it is possible to take disadvantages that your race or class cancels out, while still getting the boost to level up rate. One prominent example is to play as an Altmer (High Elf), who have a natural immunity to paralysis, then take "Weakness to Paralysis" as a disadvantage. The game considers it a significant disadvantage, greatly boosting the speed at which you level up, but you never actually experience the consequences. Further, taking all of the various "Weakness to Fire", "Weakness to Frost", etc. disadvantages grants you a greater boost to your level up rate than taking the "Immunity to Magic" advantage penalizes you. Immunity to Magic makes all of these weaknesses completely moot.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_eb6802b4	comment	Final Fantasy XIII: Stagger Lock weapons. They have higher than average stats in both Strength and Magic, but can't stagger enemies on their own. Fortunately, the other characters can stagger enemies. Plus the weapons can all synthesize the Random: Instant Chain skill. Most people usually give one to their main Commando, i.e. Fang or Snow, since they'll almost never stagger an enemy anyways and will always benefit from the damage boost. Sazh's Pleiades Hi-Powers and their upgrade the Hyades Magnums. Phenomenal Strength stats, but no Magic and it drops you HP by a ton. However, Sazh has the second highest HP, so the HP drop isn't that much of an issue and if the player is using Sazh, they'll mostly be using his Blitz, which runs off of Strength. This makes him hit like a tank with very little downside.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_ecd2d797	comment	In the Baldur's Gate franchise, the charisma of the party leader influences the prices of vendors, the reaction of characters and the morale of companions. You can choose anybody as the party leader, it is not required that it is your protagonist, so you can freely reduce your charisma at character creation for other stats while someone else leads the way. In the second game, early on you conveniently find a magical ring that sets your charisma to the max anyway. Not that it matters since by this time it has become a dump stat anyway.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_ed4a44cf	comment	Old World Blues introduces Logan's Loophole, which lets you take chems with zero chance of addiction and doubled duration (very powerful if you can find a good supply), but fixes the level cap at 30 (as you'll likely have all the DLC if you have one of them, the limit will probably be 50 otherwise). The thing is, Old World Blues also adds a one-time ability to change which traits you have, so you can just have Logan's Loophole until you reach level 30, then get rid of it.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_ee76546c	comment	Cataclysm lets you take disadvantages for up to 12 (or more if you modify the options) bonus points. Some of these are rather inconsequential. The Ugly and Truth Teller traits only affect NPC interactions. Since NPCs are turned off by default, they're basically free points, and the effect of the traits are negligible even if you do have NPCs enabled. Poor Hearing is almost advantageous to take, since you can still hear nearby monsters, which is the main use of hearing, and you are less likely to be woken up by noises while sleeping. Trigger Happy gives you a small chance to randomly activate burst fire when shooting an automatic weapon. If you don't plan on using automatic weapons, it's a free point, and even if you do the chance of it activating is quite small (1/30), making it quite manageable. Far-sighted prevents you from reading books and gives a penalty to melee accuracy and crafting when you're not wearing glasses. However, glasses are quite common, and you're guaranteed to start with a pair, so you should be fine as long as you carry a spare pair of glasses in case they break. Thin Skin increases the cutting damage you take by 1, which is trivial. Squeamish prevents you from wearing filthy clothing, AKA clothing looted directly from zombies. This might be a mild inconvenience if you picked the Very Bad Day challenge and Shower Victim profession, but if you survive long enough to find a full set of clothing it stops being an issue. Even if you do find some clothes you want on a zombie, washing them becomes easy after day 3 or so, and because wearing filthy clothing already has many disadvantages (a morale penalty, the fact that they are almost always heavily damaged, and a higher risk of getting a bite wound whenever you are hit), you wouldn't want to wear them without washing them anyways.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_fa5e90fd	comment	Stamina from the Fitness pool in City of Heroes gives a permanent boost to a character's Endurance recovery rate, with the only drawback being that you have to take two other powers in the Fitness pool to unlock it. As a pool power, it can be taken by characters of any archetype, and so it came to be viewed as being a mandatory choice for any character to be viable. With the Issue 19 update, the Fitness pool has become inherent, granted to all characters automatically and freeing up the power choices that would otherwise be filled by Stamina and its prerequisites.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: Havel's Ring increases equipment load by 50%, which is equivalent to at least 20 levels of Endurance (more if your Endurance is high, which it usually will be) in a game where each level gives one stat point and most people get to the endgame at level 80. This is tremendously useful, because it lets you get better protection from armor in terms of damage and hitstun resistance without losing mobility or vice-versa. Most of the other rings not affecting magic have effects that are much more situational (like increasing a single defense by an amount heavier armor would almost cover for all types) or have significant drawbacks (like the Ring of Favor and Protection, which boosts several stats but is lost forever if you take it off). Because of this and its early availability, the majority of players not focused entirely on magic have Havel's Ring on for most of their playthrough. Future installments in the series nerfed the amount increased to 10-20% (though partially because both allow four rings instead of two), on top of making armor itself less powerful. The spell Power Within gives boosted damage and stamina regeneration while taking Damage Over Time, which essentially every character build benefits from, which is pretty manageable because you can have as many as twenty Estus. It can be used by anyone for little to no cost, as its only stat requirement is taking up one Attunement slot (something every starting class either has to begin with or needs 1-2 levels to reach). After being entirely absent in the second game, it returned in the third with half the damage boost (20%), and a duration of only 30 seconds, although this was balanced out by having it only cost 30% of your HP instead of all of it). Ascending a weapon down one of the elemental paths (Fire, Lightning, or Chaos) significantly increases its base damage at the cost of eliminating all stat scaling (how much bonus damage the weapon gets from your stats). This means the weapon hits just as hard whether you've maxed out your Strength and Dexterity, or whether you only have the minimum amount required to use the weapon in the first place. Sure, a normal weapon with the right stats leveled will be more powerful, but elemental weapons are still plenty strong, and you have that many more levels you can dump into Vitality and Endurance in order to tank yourself up. For proof of their effectiveness, just ask everyone's favourite meme build, the Giant Dad.

Minmaxer's Delight / int_fb0bfff3	comment	Arc Style: Baseball!! 3D: Pitching is all about using Tall characters. They have the second fastest delivery speed and the most useful pitches by far in the game: slider, two-seam and forkball. Also, since a whole lot of batters in the game are left-handed, you might as well make your pitcher a lefty too, so you can exploit the slider on them. The "Max power" option is the most useful in batting, and it's only available to Macho characters. Have some of them on your team, and you'll get lots of runs. Granted, they're really slow, but you can compensate that with tons of hits to the gap or over the fence.
