If munchkin creation is an art form, you sir are a starving artist
I think that your 13 skill, 6 manuever beginning character is both a
cheat and a wuss, cheat or no, I will out do him on four levels
1: A guy with Heavy Weapons 4 and an LMG doing a 10 bullet suppresive
fire into the meter he is in. You go nowhere.
2: A Giant with muscle aug. 4, Ranger-X bow, Str. Min 15 and dikote
arrows. Resisting a base damage of 20M at near-sniper ranges is not easy
even if you have military armor.
3: A troll with a riot shield, combat axe, and pole arm (axe) skill 5(7)
now if I use 7 combat pool then I have 14 dice looking for 2's and even
if you have 26 looking for 6's and probability is on my side buddy.
4: If you want sheer dice quantity I can do that with reach too. Start
with PhysAd, Edged(tomahawks) 5(7), Off-hand Edged(tomahawks) 5(7), get
reflex recorder Edged(tomahawks) and Off Hand Edged(tomahawks), Enhanced
articulation, and take 5 levels of the adept increase Edged (tomahawks)
and Off-Hand Edged(tomahawks) and we have a chracter who can weild two
dikoted tomahawks for (Str+1)S with 20 dice and 7 combat pool allowed,
but that is all he can do, pretty limited neh?
Personally I would take option one over all the rest because it allows
for the most variation otherwise, but I would rather have a chracter who
is more useful and less flat than some UberMunchkin in melee combat.
Why is it that so many people think that someone who is really good at
melee combat is a good munchkin, I would personally take a good gun over
any melee munchkin any day. If you are good at melee that's cool, but if
you never fight melee, that's better.
