What is Min-Maxing?
In: Other
In video games and tabletop roleplaying games, it’s used to mean “minimizing weaknesses and maximizing effectiveness.” It’s when the player spends extra time and effort to come up with an optimal build or set of choices for the game, often used in cases where doing so can dramatically affect gameplay.
Like if you found the right choices of weapons and armor and magic spells in a game that effectively made your character unbeatable, that’d be an example of “min-maxing.”
This can be an issue in groups where one player has done this and made an unstoppable character, causing the other players to feel unnecessary.
