The stranger guide to Munchkinism (DL)

By Hayley, Joansies, and Bobo (Ben)

This is intended as a list of what not to do, or things that have made characters seem like a 'munchkin'. There's obviously more, we can't list them all here, but you should get the idea.

You might be a munchkin if......

  • If you can't be hit by another because you can move really really fast, or your armor doesn't allow a weapon/fist/chairleg to mar your makeup or mar your silk shirts.
  • Your swings/attacks/spells ALWAYS score and can't be avoided.
  • Your character 'broke the mold', who said a Red Dragon can't be kind? or a Draconian a florist? Liches can be helpful too.
  • Your virtous knight knows that anyone that blocks the way to his ale deserves to have 'sense' beaten into him
  • Your virtue and might for the cause of right or darkness simply doesn't allow the other a chance. that's how it works y'know? who says different can face me!
  • Your Stave/Sword/Fist/etc is suited to you and can handily match the Staff of Magius in sheer blow for blow might. Pffft. It’s a toothpick not a weapon.
  • Your character has an insanely powerful artifact that matches the most powerful artifacts in the books wielded by the heroes.
  • You choose to ignore other people's actions that would harm your character just because you don’t like it.
  • What? you didn't know my sword is a polymorphed DragonLance? DragonLances kill dragons! pffffffft! We all know that Khellendros never stood a chance.
  • Heh Heh Heh, that one never knew what hit them, and too right they shouldn't get a chance to return the blow, or anything...
  • You know, Lord Loren Soth was what I beat before breakfast, his skeletal servants were an appetizer, and his helm makes a nice chamber pot.
  • Oh, that army? yeah. they were a pack of pansies, me and my faithful weapon soon rid Krynn of them.
  • See? don't attack me because my regeneration will soon repair all my wounds, and don't annoy me because I'll turn into a giant green dervish of destruction! ... or something.
  • Welllllll, you know that this rule says that your attacks are always annulled because, and your 'contrary' rule can't benefit you! stop being a rules laywer!
  • Who needs a warhorse? My awesome dragon/nightmare/whatever is all the steed and more of anything that ever existed. He's my pet, I feed him knights for breakfast.
  • Why do I need to fight yawn i'll just poof away to my magical castle! you never even got close, you knew I could do that didn't you? (I didn't need to consider running away, that's classless)
  • Oh no! my favourite friend is dead... you know that ressurection spell I know is just the thing!
  • Pfffft. I didn't die, it was all a bad dream! I woke up in the morning with a slight itchy spot.
  • after 'avoiding' an untimely demise Paladine/Malystryx owes me one or two! yay for the last second save!
  • Oh. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I think the world needs to PAY! pay for that insult and PAY NOW! EVERYONE MUST DIE!
  • Your choose to randomly just go killing other people's characters becasue you dont like them and there's no real IC reason for even attempting to do so.
  • Your character has a dragon for a pet. I dont mean a knight with a rider or something along those lines. I mean your character just randomly wanders around with a dragon as his/ her personal PET. Other creatures fall into this category as well.
  • Your character tries to blow up the world and/or solamina and *isn't* insane, and you think he/she can succeed at it and can prove it.
  • You know if your character(s) ever has one of these predilections, whooops, you could seriously could be erring on the side of munchkinism! Garlic and Stakes won't work to cure this affliction, but the brutal mob ethic of fingerpointing and branding usually serves as a worse punishment to your time here, and makes it a unnice place to be.

If you've read this far, you're probably going to do real well.

But if you jumped right to the end of this page, you should have a think about it, or our favourite ogrebouncer Grunk going to step in with his banning stick and smacks you out the door for six. (Fore!)
