No, you can't. That is what I am saying.

You can roleplay the personality just fine. You cannot roleplay their combat effectiveness just fine unless you happen to just roll better than an equivalent character in the group. Your stats don't reflect the reality of the character you're trying to play because no matter how well you roleplay it you'll always be missing or failing to cast 5-10% more often on average.

Over the course of a large game that starts to add up.

You don't get to tell me what the basis of my own desires are. I know what kind of player I am and my motivations for liking Tasha's rules. You rejecting my explanation basically means you're calling me a liar and I don't appreciate that.

And yet you seem to care quite a lot about what options are available to me in my single player RPG. Why is that?
