This...or try playing a barbarian with 8 strength. D&D is a game that harshly punishes ineptitude, and greatly rewards competence. And not just strictly in character builds but also in power usage, party management...like try sending the wizard or the cleric up front to tank and see how that goes.
Lol, no. Because of the D20 D&D is very forgiving. If you want to play a game that really punishes inepitude try Shadowrun.
Also as usual people use extreme cases to defend minmaxing. Is a Str 14 barbarian inept? No, but minmaxer want you to think so.
