05-05-06, 02:19 PM Help me find ways to abuse the rules!

Don't worry, this is not for a standard D&D game. This is for Munchkin. For those who don't know it, Munchkin is a parody of D&D, where the goal is to make the strongest most abusive character by whatever means necessary. And if you can't manage to be stronger than your opponents (hrm... I mean, fellow party members), backstabbing them and making their life as hard as possible is perfectly acceptable. As is bribing the DM!

But I dont know the rules well enough to take advantage of them as much as the other players. I need your help!

My character is a LN human-dwarf cleric of a god of materialism. My teachings are that true happiness can really be bought, and how it's totally immoral to offer something without expecting something in return. So the other PCs must pay me whenever they require my services, like being healed.

Any advice is welcome!

05-05-06, 02:28 PM When they need to be healed in the middle of a fight and can't pay, you should smite them down in the name of your god for their blasphemy.

You should also tax them for every time you pray for them, which is pretty much always because your god is a loving god that encourages you to pray for everyone--for a fee. And if they can't pay for the prayers they probably didn't ask for, you should smite them down in the name of your god.

05-05-06, 03:21 PM Wear Horseshoes of the Zephyr. More movement, you're constantly hovering 6" off the ground, so you can't slip and fall, you don't set off pressure plates on traps, your feet make no noise, you can run on water, lava, mud...

What's even better is they aren't people shoes, so you can attach them onto the bottom of a pair of magical boots, say, striding and springing, for even more movement, plus jumping!

Of course, since the prudent GM would require you to wear all four in order for them to work, nailing them to the palms of your hands would sting like the dickens, and make it difficult to pick locks.
