To expand on this a bit.
I don't even know where Assume Supernatural Ability is from - how could anybody think that was a good idea! - but as far as I can tell it just means Pun Pun destroys the game much sooner, instead of needing to wait for Shapechange.
Sarrukh are about as obscure as you can get, a Forgotten Realms progenitor race that just happens to have a few members still around in the modern day. Even if you play in the Realms, and have Serpent Kingdoms, the chances of a low level character even hearing a legend about the Sarrukh is practically zero.
As others have said, Pun Pun is a brilliant thought experiment, but not an issue in "real" games.
The way some spells are very easy to abuse, and the way in which 3.5 actually changed some spells to make them
more broken, is in my opinion, a much more important criticism of the playtesting of 3rd edition.
And yet another word from our sponsors
