A typical story on the difference between role- and powergaming (minor item spoiler):
I'm currently playing a Priest of Helm (LN) and I have Minsc in my party using Two-Handed swords.
Now coming across the Vorpal Blade (a.k.a. Silver Sword) he'd most certainly want it and I would too powergaming-wise. Yet I am a Priest of Helm, a neutral character who strives for balance, so roleplayingwise I cannot justify taking this uberweapon from it's rightful owners just to use it for my own gain. It would upset the balance and thuys contradict the goals my PC has set for his life as a priest to the everseeing god.
