Your orc was very smart and educated compared to 99% of all other orcs and even to common humans. Again, your only complaint is that you want more power because the role is perfectly playable without Tasha's and offers its unique challenges and journey. Just own it that you want to powergame instead of playing the role of an orc wizard.
It’ll go back and forth ad nausem.
Are people offended by being described as a power gamer? Is it because it’s referred negatively as munchkinism?
There’s nothing wrong with power gaming. You can roleplay and power game. It’s perfectly fine and I’d wager if we were all honest, the majority power game in their roleplay.
People seem to consider Critical Role as the pinnacle of roleplay (I see it as acting and theatrics) and it’s entertaining at times but if you look at their stats, yeah min maxed. And that’s okay.
