I think there are two ways of envisonning Roleplaying ( and something I myself struggle with to be honest! )
- You choose your own role and stick to it.
- You are given a role and should play it as best as you can.
Basically that's why I was thinking the powergamer is also actually roleplaying, he just falls into the second category. After all, "roleplaying" literally means "playing a role", just like an actor - and actors don't often write their own roles, they just "improve" it. =)
But I digress.
