1. You ask the DM how much experience you get from killing the other PCs.
2. Your rogue can steal his own pants without noticing it.
3. You go back to the same dungeon you cleared out yesterday to see if the monsters and treasure have "respawned".
4. Your mount is an undead tarrasque.
6) you can turn into a giant bear. that breathes fire. and flies. and summon smaller bears. also you have a large bear as a pet. and heals itself. also bearsbearsbearsbearsbears.
Why? Is it just because Everything's Worse With Bears?
10. You have a Drizzt Clone that is more bad-ass then Drizzt ever was.
11. Your campaign is set in Dark Sun & you openly wear a sign saying "Hi, im a defiler. Please ask me how"
12. You are male, but can somehow win an argument in Astrids Parlour (its a joke
)13. You have created an internet Meme about your character, something along the line of "I'm the ******* [insert character name here]"
14. You are still playing 3.5 & are using all the books...
15. You are still playing 3.5 & are using all the books at the same time
16. Your exalted character has Vile Feats & your logic has made your GM curle up in a ball rocking backwards and forwards chanting "Can't sleep, clown will eat me"
17. Your characters name is just your name jumbelled up. If your not Gygax, you can't get away with this.
19. You're playing a Dragon at level 1, and have the Dragon Magazine article to "prove" it's "legit."
9. You don't roll to hit or damage any more. You just look at the GM & ask "why? Their just Solo Monsters"
10. You have a Drizzt Clone that is more bad-ass then Drizzt ever was.

LOL! In 1993-4 I had a 30th level defiler Dragon of Tyr (I got there from level 3) with a name that was an anagram of my name, and he openly defeated Borys, to conquer the world of Athas. He then replaced the gladiatorial fights with football. But it was football like in "Consumer Report" by Ray Bradbury(?) ("I asked the PTO for four stinking mortars! But no, they had to go buy body armor for the marching band instead!")
And yes, I prefer 3.5e.
And I houseruled spontaneous spellcasters to know twice as many spells, use 2e psionics instead of 3.5 psionics, and consider all D20 Modern & D20 Future books to be core D&D books.
And I like to throw things at my players (all 3.5 sourcebooks are open) like war troll half-black dragon/half iron golem barbarian/war hulk/frenzied berzerkers dominated by lich half-fey succubus druid/wizard/vermin lord/marshalls that have figured out how to stack their swarms without them killing each other (thus creating the H.I.V.E. build), and have several cybernetic feat implants. My players can usually take out stuff like that with no problem at level 13 or so.
Here are my own additions:
20. You play one of the above monstrosities or can defeat them in one round, without taking damage (I should have made it a hulking hurler!).
21. Your epic wizard has used the mythal seed to create a personal emanation that automatically casts mindrape on every sentient being that enters its radius, with a -20 penalty to the save, to permanently enslave them and make them enjoy it.
22. Then you use the genesis spell (arcane version in the Epic Level Handbook) to create a pure platinum demiplane and use iron golems to mine it. You expand its radius another 180 feet every six months.
23. You play a vampire half-fey aasimar bard/beguiler/sublime chord/2e psionicist (telepath)/cerebremancer with a spell storing whip that's usually loaded with charm person or cure moderate wounds, and use psychic surgery to implant permanent fate link, domination, and amnesia effects on the beings you spammed your charm person SLA on, which is every humanoid you meet.
24. You play a half-fey half-dragon half-elemental half-illithid half-fiend half-daelkyr druid/planar shepard of Xoriat and take natural spell so you can turn into a dire polar bear, fly, breath fire, and summon more bears, all while letting your wizard cohort cast a bunch of instant-kill spells while he rides on your back, while you grapple and annihilate everything in sight. (augmentation of an earlier post on this thread).
25. You're 10th level and small sized with a grapple bonus of +30.
26. You use the 3.0 harm spell so you can use a mystic theurge to 1-2 a devastation beetle with a reach spell harm and a quickened magic missile.
27. You figured out a way to play a warforged lich paladin/assassin/bard/cleric/ur-priest/forsaker/radiant servant of Pelor without breaking any rules and without losing any class abilities.
28. You can stun-lock Orcus at level 15
29. You have broken Blade Cascade. Even with the errata.
31) Air-elemental half-dragon where-giant-octopus with full multi-weapon fighting.
32) you have the spell: Locate city.
18. You're playing 3ed, and your character level is equal to the number of classes you have. And you're Epic.
I don't know about you, but I'd consider that to be as far as possible from munchkin as you can get. Taking a level in every class possible does not a munchkin make. Unless it's 20 levels in arcane base classes, a level in sublime chord, and a level in ur-priest, and you have a staff with several uncapped damage spells...but that's a special case. ;)

It is if you gestalt them.....
It is if you gestalt them.....
Even better! :D
30) you a melee character and can do more damage than the wizard when he novas.
3.5 thing, because how dare anyone peek out from the wizards shadow... But on those lines...
38) You make the wizard carry your things.
40.) You cause aberrant creatures to become sane when they look at you.
41.) Tiamat/Orcus/Maul-Tar runs away when she/he/it sees you.
39.) You can kill a Red Dragon by casting Fireball. Once.
40.) You cause aberrant creatures to become sane when they look at you.
Change the second one to make them insane, and actually one of the PCs in my current campaign can do both of those. His maximized, empowered, twinned, blistering, fiery, repeating fireball deals 480+20d6 damage from a 3rd level slot (thanks to metamagic reduction)...and your basic very old red dragon only has 449 HP. The half-daelkyr race, a few items, and some contingencies mean if you look at him funny or cast Divination or Enchantment spell on him, you're reduced to a gibbering mass of flesh within rounds. Fun, huh? :D
44) You made a character so game breaking that your DM posted for help in the What's a DM to do? forum. You then won the ensuing debate about allowing your character.
51) You have 3 (or more) dump stats.
51) you can have your cake and eat it too.
53) You have your cake, and eat everyone's cake.
55) You got an idea from this thread.
56) you have ever convinced your DM that you could play an ooze
57)two words: Earth glide.
5. You impose a -17 penalty on saves.
I've done this by convincing the DM there'd be nothing broken about houseruling the hexblade's curse ability to deal -X per hexblade level. I assured him while others were prestige classing and stuffs, my ability would simply be convient as a debuffer, which is not stressed nearly enough.
It sounded alright in theory. In practice, it meant nothing could make a saving throw to save it's life (literally) and anything I couldn't cast, someone else could. We were killing very challenging monsters left and right with little effort cause of my curse ability.
Granted, we were high level. So this should be feesible anyway. But there's a fine line between expected power threshold and God mode. Players complained more about me crossing that line then the DM.
54) You clicked on this thread to get ideas.
55) You got an idea from this thread.
Yep.
50) Prerequisites don't apply to you
lawls, only when I'm playing a fighter. As to "compensate for it's suck". Yet another game I was in I said let me play a fighter and to keepup with the rest of the party I didn't have to meet attribute or level prequisites for feats. (This meant I could take epic feats as long as I completed the tree)
By level ten I was doing save-or-dies with every attack. Clearly extraordinary as it was not magical, making it all the more painful, and giving players such a butthurt. The DM laughed and said "Jim, all your ideas turn you into the mayor of munchkin land!"
When Jeremiah stopped playing D&D, (he was our token munchkin) I took it upon myself to take his mantle. Because he was like a brother to me, and irl I'm a samurai, and will honor my brother by bringing great dishonor to everybody else. Just like he used to do...
Lawful evil can be touching sometimes...
63. You've already reached 20+ level in 4E & you reached it after starting at first level.
64. You posted a complaint on the FR forum about Drizzt not having stats. You did this because you plan on kicking his arse & taking his stuff. Thats right. I see you out there, you people know who you are.
66) You have laughed at the weak munckin fu of these amateurs.
68) You succeeded at your goal of killing all of the DM's characters within one session.
69) Your mount has a mount who has a mount who has a mount who has a mount who has a mount, who has a mount who has an army of 20 servents to keep him comfy and each of the 20 servents has 40 servents, and each indivigual servent in the groups of 40 servents has 80 servents. The servents are all Balors and Pitfiends.
-Pun Pun
73) In 2e you once asked if you could be a half elf...when the DM said ok you pulled out councle of wyrms laughing "You didn't ask what the other half was"
74) You made a DM quite DMing...for good
75) you want to have yor DM make up a 40th level solo for you to fight so you can have a challenge...at 19th level
7. The only thing that doesn't require DM approval on your character sheet is the space labeled "Player Name"
76) Even your characters name is subject to DM approval. ("No, you can't name your character xXSlayerNinja56Xx.")
You can quote the prefab advancer from memory.
Other munchkins ask you for advice.
Your DM replaced his old munchkin rolled up newspaper with a brand new copy of D&D fir dummies with munchkin scribbled on the cover in sharpie gust because they felt that weren’t getting there point across (and it did not help).
83) You ask the DM the break DC for planets.
85) Your character is a psuedonatural half-tarrasque illithid.
86) Your bard won Asmodeus's soul in a fiddle contest.
87) Your DM is so paranoid about your powergaming skills that he'll only allow you to take the commoner class.
88) ...and you still manage to take down Orcus in one hit.
81. Your character grants spells to clerics that worship him.
Guilty.
82) There are cleric, bardic (if you play 3.5), druidic and wizard spells made by you.
Also guilty.
Psionic powers, too. :P90) You stat each arm, each leg, and your head seperately
... because they're all epic-level outsiders you have permanently binded, dominated and polymorphed into body parts. Transformers Headmasters for the win!
91) When your DM makes a d100 random table of synonyms for "You kill it in one shot" to avoid repetition.
... because they're all epic-level outsiders you have permanently binded, dominated and polymorphed into body parts. Transformers Headmasters for the win!
Guilty!I actually made a build for someone that, with templates and races and spells and such, managed to get 496 tentacles at level 10-ish, all of which he could make attacks which and all of which were enchanted as intelligent items. So it's like yours, but the opposite.
strangely, I've done that. My lich used teleportation to go the moon and start setting up a moon base. I turned the moon into a Death Star and ruled the planet's undead, kinda like dracula did on Dr. Mcninja
And your idea would work.
95.)You have caused wizards of the coast staff members to cry.
99. Your DM has banned you from using the Core books of your edition, and forces you to use a self-published version of the PHB that only has the Elf and Fighter sections remaining.
100. You still create a broken character.
We're going into a "farmer" campaign where we're all commoners, and become character classes later based on how we roleplayed.
I poured my skillpoints into craft so I could make poisons. I may not be able to make drow poison unless I encounter drow and learn of their culture, but there's another poison called oil of taggit which only costs fifteen gold to make and makes others unconscience on fort save 15. (Which is actually slightly greater then the drow poison's DC but more expensive)
Sassone leaf residue has a DC of 16, deals 2d12 damage on innitial failed save, and 1d6 constitution secondary. This is much more likely to kill anything we will encounter.. But also more expensive. It'd be easier to just knock someone unconscience and coup de grace them. So for fifteen gold I'm getting a likely oppurtunity to critical hit a foe as often as I want, and force them to make fort save DC 10+damage dealt or die.
101: You're save-or-dying everything you come across at level 0.
But I figureout a sword is like a longsword. It deals damage equal to 1/3rd in modifier, and has an equipment cost of 1/3rd. (5 equipment points=15gold)
So by those calculations. I concluded I could purchase poison via equipment points. The DM allowed it. And now I basically have several poisons in my repitore. M&M doesn't keep track of ammunition or anything. So I have infinite poison. And stat damage is more harsh then in normal D&D as there's no healing spells and very rarely is a power/skillcheck going to cut it.
I mean, when you look at it objectively. I could've spent those points for real powers, but I have a versatile array of poisons where I can calculate the person's crap stat and capitalize on it. Or simply go with what feels right RP wise...
In another game, (Star Wars Saga) I thought of being a Zakbar Scout and could at first level roll 3d20 and take the best result basically for my spot check.
It says "roll another die and take the new result even if it sucks worse". But let's face it, I roll, fail, roll again, fail. What are the chances I fail three times in a row?
But I figured this was kindof stupid. Spot checks aren't that valuable..
But I figured this was kindof stupid. Spot checks aren't that valuable..
102) If that is the the last thing your fellow player says before you shiv him in the face for his magic items, during the day, in the middle of a field, when he knows you are after him.
105. You've actually attempted to do so in a real campaign.
106. You have a collection of enemies all stuck in teleport rings that teleport to their own location- and trigger again.
107. You've used Flesh to Stone, Shape Stone, Stone to Flesh, and the spell Temporal Stasis in conjunction to make an indestructable set of armour.
108. Moreover, you've used this technique to build an indestructable flying fortress. Out of enemies.
103) You represent the Lollipop Guild
109) If your wizard likes to disguise himself as an illusionary disembodied head...
110) If he also refers to himself as "The Great And Terrible"...
113) You found a way to have a level 1 rouge take on Pun-pun.
114) a DM Allowed a game where players can use templates / Monster races as long as you tooked the LA differcultys and where no more then ECL 10,
Found a way to make a Dire were Bear/Half StoneGiant Half Dragonborn Half Celestrol (Along with many other things) And found ways to give your character only +0 ECL and made the other characters cry as your Fighter/Cleric ran though the game.
115) You hired Mexicans to build you your Fortress for free.
115) Your paladin Uses Even hand of Justace On Orcus Then orcus uses touch of death vs you. Reguardless you just won (Even if your droped to 0 HP),
116) You brought this up just to prove how you CAN Kinda solo Orcus
117) You would never Have just Orcus tossed at your players. In fact Orcus if he spawns spawns in the Kobolt village killing them all makeing them Raise as the undead and has dread wraiths follow him eveywhere. Thus Orcus is never alone.
119: Number 119 was never written. You went back in time and killed all of the Primordials with one spell, wiping out all of the demons, and by extension, the scribe who was supposed to write this, who was descended distantly from a tiefling.
120: You have taken at least one level in "Chuck Norris".
123: You have created a Bard & you aren't dead yet.
124: You have created a Bard & you aren't dead yet. Its a shame the rest of the world is, thanks to you
51) you can have your cake and eat it too.
53) You have your cake, and eat everyone's cake.
125) Your character is a cake, and you eat everyone.
meaning you killed them, before you started playing.
126: You have killed gods at level zero.
meaning you killed them, before you started playing.
technically guilty
129: you read 125. "Your character is a cake, and you eat everyone". & didn't straight away think "in soviet Russia, cake eat you. Instead you started to stat out your cake PC, but have yet to decide on being chocolate or sponge.
130: you instead decided on being a chocolate sponge cake. Due to the boost to your NAD.
131: You've yet to laugh at this post
(One of my players is currently playing what we like to call the "dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon goblin"--if there's a draconic template out there, chances are he has it.)
126: You have killed gods at level zero.
meaning you killed them, before you started playing.
Ha ha, you could do this in 2nd edition by creating a class with a negative experience coefficient, advancing to infinite level before actually playing.
135. You made such a class, found stats for some gods and realized you could easily defeat them.
139. (i'm not sure it this is repeated, if so I'll edit it out) Your character won The Game, not D&D, The Game.
141): Your character got tossed out of the Far Realms because you were driving every creature there insane.
142): Your character couldn't get tossed out of the Far Realms.
143): Your character beat Cthulhu in an arm-wrestling contest.
55) You own the Munchkin Players Guide, DM's Guide, Monster Manual, and Powerleveling Guide and the books are creased (sp) and dog-eared
144) You wrote the Munchkin Players Guide, DM's Guide, Monster Manual, and Powerleveling Guide.
145) You have a small army of familiars, resurrected from the corpses of your slain enemies.
146) You have a small army of cohorts, resurrected from the corpses of the other players' slain PCs.
147) Anyone can solo Orcus. You've Diplomacized him into becoming your fanatical follower.
148) Your character has more "Half-X" templates than your age in years.
149) Each of your items has an enhancement bonus higher than your age in years.
150) For some reason, whenever the DM looks, the minis are always in the optimal strategic position for your character...
151) When Jesus saves, he still takes full damage.
152) You look at Orbizards/Tempest Fighters/Demigods and wonder why anyone would use such an underpowered build.
153) You use dice that you loaded yourself.
154) Your Leomund's Secret Chest includes a chainsaw, shotgun, and dynamite.
155) You look at this list and think "meh, that got boring three campaigns ago..."
157. You manage to logically convince your DM to allow you weapons from D20 Future. In a 3.5 setting.
158. When the DM enacts Rule 0 to disallow an aspect of your character, you are able to ignore it.
Also, in regards to 127, I believe this would simply create a never-ending loop of character death. It would NOT, however, be a paradox. The grandfather paradox is a situation in which you go back in time to kill your own grandfather, thus ensuring that you would never be born to go back in time and kill him.
Killing your future self merely becomes an inevitable loop - you, at level 0, kill your level 5 self. When you become level 5, your level 0 self kills you. The cycle goes on; when your killer reaches level 5, he is killed by his previous self. This is not a paradox, in which event A should prevent event A from ever occurring. This is event A simply causes event A to endlessly reoccur.
(Incidentally, there is a similar webcomic to this effect, where a traveler kills his future self to obtain a time machine, where he goes forward in time, then back in time to meet his own death at the hands of his past self).
159. When you bring logistics into a numbered thread about how to tell if you're a munchkin.
54) You clicked on this thread to get ideas.
55) You got an idea from this thread.
55b) You didn't get a new idea from this thread.
161) You look like this:
129: you read 125. "Your character is a cake, and you eat everyone". & didn't straight away think "in soviet Russia, cake eat you. Instead you started to stat out your cake PC, but have yet to decide on being chocolate or sponge.
130: you instead decided on being a chocolate sponge cake. Due to the boost to your NAD.
131: You've yet to laugh at this post
Bundt Cake.
164. The specialized team of clerics you hired is not able to keep up with how fast you kill your foes.
165. Being frustrated over the matter, you start killing the clerics.
166. You hire more clerics and start over at 163.
168. You know every Vecna's secret.
169. When Demogorgon sees your character, it's heads eat each other.
