    That’s weird! I always understood it as minimizing scores you don’t care about to further juice your most desired stats. Eg. Sawing off a shotgun to make it more viable as a quick-draw close-range problem solver. What you’re describing means “Optimizing”, to me

      To my knowledge you’re correct. In the context of DND you put the least possible points in attributes you don’t care about, while maximizing the stats that do your damage. So you can end up with a sorcerer with more charisma than Jack Nicholson, who is too dumb to tie his own shoes.
