Hullo friends and fellow gamers,
I've been lurking on the forums for a while, but this is my first post. Please be gentle. :)
As individuals, which do you think is more important: having the right build, or building organically based on character experiences and theme? Am I asking about a false dichotomy here? I ask because many threads seem devoted to getting awesome builds, and in reading them, they do sound fun, but I never seem to do that. I usually take skills/feats/abilities that just seem fun to me. I know that it's a RPG, and the point is to have fun, which I do, I would just like to get an idea of what you guys, the community thought was the better way to go.
My most egregious example would be the magus that I played for a while who relied heavily on pool strike and its derivatives. The class guide seems to be telling me that this is somehow sub-optimal, but I found it fun and never had a problem in combat, or keeping up with anyone damage-wise.
At any rate, thanks for reading this, and for any responses. Happy gaming!
