10-27-04, 04:17 PM This is about supplement books (like Complete Warrior, Libris Mortis, Draconomicon, etc.) that came out after v3.5 did. Are those books (the supplement books) written in 3E rules or v3.5 rules? Thanks.

10-28-04, 07:26 PM You can assume that if the printing date of a supplement from WOTC is after the printing date of the 3.5 Core books, it follows the 3.5 rules.

10-28-04, 08:06 PM 3.5 of course. Why would they continue to write them in 3.0 format when they can make more profits/benefices with 3.5 ?
JDCAce
10-29-04, 06:53 PM Because maybe they wrote a book BEFORE v3.5 was invented and, for some reason, publication was delayed until AFTER v3.5 was released?

I'm sorry, but since you answered my question rudely, I must answer your question rudely.

By the way. Now that we're off subject (but that's OK, since my question has been answered), what does munchkin or munchkining mean? Thanks.

10-30-04, 04:06 PM A munchkin is a derogatory term for someone who seeks to create the most powerful character possible, without any regard for logic, role-playing or back story. They exploit every loophole, ambiguity and optional rule they can find.

Whether someone is a munchkin or not is a matter of opinion.

The signs include :-

taking a couple of levels in several different prestige classes,

not being bothered if the letter of the rules results in an absurd result (for instance, a number of prestige classes allow you to add your intelligence bonus to your armour class, so if you take them all then in theory you get to add 2 or 3 times your intelligence bonus to your AC),

assuming you have the right to play any class, prestige class and combination thereof produced by Wizards of the Coast regardless of what your DM thinks, and

trying to introduce elements from other d20 products with the sole aim of making your character more powerful.

If you get the chance, read Steve Jackson's "Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming". Its hilarious, and includes all kinds of tips on bending and breaking rules (for example, always "forget" to bring your character sheet to sessions, thus allowing you to "remember" your ability scores as being a bit higher than what you actually rolled).

By the way, there is a dictionary of terms (a sticky on the D&D general board) http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=46916

10-30-04, 04:33 PM "Munchkin Guide to Powergaming": Is that an article or other free thing on a website? If so, where? Or is it a book?

10-30-04, 04:49 PM It's a book. Last I saw, it was $19.95 US, different in other countries, of course. (I try, at least, not to forget these boards are international :D )
