I'm with Mongoose on this one. Use every advantage you can.
The above mentioned character, my most used PC, is a sorceror
adept (in 2nd Ed. parlance) with Skillwires Plus, a Smartlink II,
and a Trauma Damper (a mage's best friend). He's all that and a
bag of dynamite. You call him a munchkin PC? I say,
"Whatever." I roleplay him well, he still can get kicked around,
and we all have fun. Violating archtypes is good. It keeps 'em
guessing.
