Min/max focused #ttrpg players engaging with campaigns where the Bard single-handedly wins a fight by convincing all enemies to just leave by role playing an adorable bunny with very fluffy ears; before their ultra fine tuned theory crafted mega build even gets their turn.
On a completely unrelated note, before I even started with TTRPGs I've played a PC game Neverwinter Nights 2. One of the first quests was to get rid of some lizardfolk in a dungeon. I've went there and convinced them to flee which awarded me 100exp. I was pleased. On my next playthrough I slaughtered them all and netted something around 500exp in total. I was not amused.
