We attract some character build/optimization questions that are very vague - like this newer ones. 

 - https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/16427/oracle-build-help
 - https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/16431/dd-3-5-action-survivor-like-class
 - https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/15045/pathfinder-arcane-duelist-melee-build

We've discussed this before in https://rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/749/should-we-allow-best-character-design-questions, but a) never came to a clear consensus and b) never came up with guidelines as to what makes a good vs. bad character build question (like our [system recommendation question guidance][1]).

Are character optimization/build questions on topic, and if so, how should they be written to be good questions?
