'Munchkinism' — also known as 'power gaming,' 'min-maxing,' 'twinking,' playing 'Monty Haul' characters, and playing 'disgusting characters' — is the fine art of creating the most super indestructable killing machine character imaginable. I use the term 'character' here loosely because piddling little details like personality, family history, friends and loved ones, etc., only get in the way of the really important details, such as how to maximize your hit points, armor class, THAC0, damage, attacks-per-round, saving throws, experience levels, and general sense of godhood.

The problem all too often faced by a novice player is not knowing how to take advantage of a gullible Dungeon Master or of the many loopholes in the rules. It's a sorry sight indeed to see an otherwise invincible player-character walking around with only straight 18s in his abilities or a +5 longsword that isn't even an artifact. This list of important tips and tricks was written with that wayward soul in mind.

(Note: Throughout this document, I use 'he' to refer to the Dungeon Master and other players. This is not because I am trying to save space by not writing 'he or she'; it is because, at the time I started writing this, I had never met anyone of the female persuasion who took any interest whatsoever in munchkin-style fantasy role-playing, and I did not believe that such a creature existed. One female munchkin e-mailed me to tell me I was mistaken, but 'she' might have been E. Gary Gygax in disguise.)

Make sure you have a psionic Wild Talent

Wild Talents are explained in chapter 1, pages 19-21 of The Complete Psionics Handbook. (You do have The Complete Psionics Handbook, don't you?) Any character of any race or class may have a Wild Talent. The chances of having one aren't very good, but hey, 2nd

you're the one rolling the dice here, right? (Wink wink.) So, once you've 'rolled' a 01 on those percentile dice, you get to roll on Table 12 (page 20) to see which Psionic Devotion you have.

Did I say 'Psionic Devotion' in the singular? What was I thinking? Look at the 88-89 entry in Table 12. It says 'Roll three times.' Not 'Roll three times ignoring this result hereafter.' If you were to keep 'rolling' an 88 or 89 over and over, you would get each and every Psionic Devotion on this table. But you can do even better than this. Notice the following:

Table 12 (page 20), entry 91-99, says 'Roll on Table 13: Sciences.'
Table 13 (page 21), entry 86-88, says 'roll three times.'
Table 13, entry 89-92, says 'Choose any science or devotion.'

So, you should perform the following steps:

'Roll' any number 91 through 99, which takes you to Table 13.
'Roll' an 86, 87, or 88, which lets you roll 3 more times.
'Roll' an 89, 90, 91, or 92, and pick one Science or Devotion your character does not already have. (Note that you are not limited to choosing only those devotions/sciences that appear on Tables 12 and 13.)
'Roll' an 89, 90, 91, or 92, and pick another Science or Devotion your character does not already have.
Repeat steps 2-4 until you have every psionic Devotion and Science in the book.

You can speed this process up slightly by 'rolling' a 00 in steps 3 and 4, which gives you any Ad%26d 2nd Edition Dmg

two Sciences plus any four Devotions instead of merely one Science or one Devotion, but since you can 'roll' either of these results as many times as you need to, the overall effect will be the same.

Best of all, after your character has thus acquired every psionic power in the book, your character now gets to start out with a number of Psionic Strength Points (PSPs) equal to the minimum PSP cost to use every single Devotion and Science you now have. Plus the PSP cost of running all of your 'maintainable' Devotions and Sciences for 4 time increments. It says so, right there in the second paragraph of page 20. (Even the old Sage Advice column agrees, as evidenced by the very first question-and-answer in this Sage Advice article.) This is far, far more PSPs than even the most powerful member of the Psionicist character class starts out with. I've gone through and added up the minimum PSP costs for using (and maintaining 4 times) every Psionic Devotion and Science listed in the 'Summary of Powers' at the end of The Complete Psionics Handbook. I operated under the assumption that any Telepathic power whose PSP cost is listed as 'Contact' actually costs the minimum number of PSPs required by the 'Contact' Devotion, because, hey, if you need contact before you can use the other power, you'll have to pay the PSPs for establishing contact, right? Right. With this in mind, the grand total is 3566 PSPs. And this is what your Wild Talent character starts out with at first level. This will surely be enough psionic power to annihilate any of the lesser foes your character is likely to encounter at the start of his quest for ultimate power.

Create your own character class

Let's face it, the character classes in the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook are far too limiting. Even with the 'kit' classes in the Complete Handbook series, your characters are going to be pretty wimpy. Even at 6th level, none of those character classes could hope to kill even a monster as insignificant as Tiamat without a large arsenal of magic items! (Of course, by 6th level, your character will have a large arsenal of magic items, but that's not the point. You shouldn't need magic items to pound one paltry 5-headed dragon goddess into the ground by the time you're 6th level.) What you need is a brand new character class, one tailored precisely to your special munchkin needs. And the way to convince your DM to let you play this character class is to combine capabilities from existing character classes. No DM would think of rejecting a new character class whose every attribute has already been play-tested for balance in other, existing character classes. Right?

Right. So, first, you'll need to dig out those old 1st Edition rulebooks. They have character classes in them that aren't in 2nd Edition, and which provide a valuable, ahem, starting point for creating your own class. The 1st Edition Player's Handbook has the monk. Unearthed Arcana has the barbarian. Oriental Adventures has the kensai, the samurai, and the ever-popular ninja. Look through the descriptions of these character classes. Look for class capabilities that are useful, e.g. the monk's open-hand combat abilities. Pay special attention to capabilities that increase with level and have no upper limit — these are going to be important when your character reaches super-colossally high experience levels. Ignore those class capabilities that would restrict your character, e.g. can't wear armor, must donate excess wealth to charity, must abide by code of conduct, etc. Finally, mix all the good stuff together, adding similar bonuses to each other whenever possible (e.g., monks get +1 weapon damage every 2 levels, and samurai get +1 damage every 3 levels, so your new character class should get a total of +5 weapon damage every 6 levels).

My Weapons Master character class is a preliminary example of what such a class should look like. But, as you can see by reading the weapons master class description, it doesn't go nearly far enough. Weapons masters can't wear armor or use shields. They don't add the effective armor class of the kensai and the monk together. They can't cast spells. And they don't get the barbarian's 12-sided hit dice. Surely, you can do better than this. You want a class more like my over-the-top Death Mac
