Is min/maxing a flaw of a game, or the players? - Page 7

I'm not sure if this point has been discussed YET, but lets step away from ability scores for a moment. Now, would min-maxing apply to JUST those or can I also assume it applies to things added from core/splat books? Backgrounds, Feats, Flaws and Advantages(or the equivalent)? From what I've seen, the only discussion has been on Ability Scores. Then again, I've only been skimming over pages. I was just curious, because I could swear a bard I made for one of Nik's games was pretty set charisma-wise. As in, all Cha based skills were totaled at 23, which not only included the +8 from the ability score and +10 from ranks, but a load of stuff I thought would help that along.

I must admit the ability score talk is fun to read for me if only because our group tends to roll our ability scores, and like all things d6, we tend not to get the Yahtzee's needed for this line of conversation.
