You optimized for weakness.
I just to touch on this again. . . how min-maxing is but 1 tool of "Optimization".
Lots of people don't get that, they idiotically try to clump, powergaming, munchkining, monty-hauling, and sometimes cheating(oh the irony) into one large basket. *Shrug*.
Optimization is about getting this "just right" like baby bear style, deciding just right is up to the wielder.
So yeah you optimized FOR weakness, or it looks like you did. Like you pulled a uhmm.. defiant act etc.
For example, I requested to play a different race, I was invited to play in an elf game, but I didn't want to be an elf (the 2 groups playing were engaged in some pretty heavy "Elf fap" about how their grand and beautiful etc..) but the dm was like "Dude, this is the elf game, roll an elf and join us.
" I though about it for a bit and said okay. I whipped out a druid w/abberation wild shape. I pretty much didn't play an elf.
Which was just right for me.
and in some ways maybe kinda jerkish.
What you did there seems of a similar bent, to me, to weenog, and likely to the dm. It looks like you optimized to be weak.
You're saying that you DIDN'T do that to be a smart ass, I guess?
