Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

Stormonu

Legend
Blame it all on the 3E druid. We all know the broken combo - get a mule animal companion, a +50 bonus to Animal Empathy out in the wild, and the ability to shape shift into mule shape (and eventually the entire party with Animal Shapes). The druid just starts stacking himself on top of his own companion and befriended mules and eventually they haul the entire dungeon back, brick by brick, to town and sell it. Poor little pun-pun couldn't keep up with the wealth-by-level overload. I mean, it even took the wizard at least until 9th level to get that broken with the Baleful Polymorph and Charm Monster combo where he would then be able to create his own dungeon-carrying army of self-created mules.

...And the fighter still had to buy the mule.

...hmm Druid muleskinner prestige class - I'll have to think about that.

Cruelty and untimely deaths of MULES?

I'll have you know that according to an article in Dragon#713, Mules are responsible for more PC deaths than any other creature in the game.

And its not an accident that a Half-Dragon Mule was used as the BBEG in the classic module, Return to the Barrier Peaks Tomb-Web of Tamochan (the final module in the Against the Equines series, written by Mr. Ed.)
