[QUOTE="Luther Malevolent, post: 9513745, member: 7047964"] Not true my friend, not true at all. Let me tell you of my munchkin friends and our twinked out characters playing D&D back in the mid 80’s. All you need is Unearthed Arcana, take characters designed here back to modules that came out almost a decade earlier and you will be a god amongst men even at first level. If you want to get even more lopsided in the players favour hunt through early Dragon magazine for some of the optional classes. Use the UA stat generating method. You should have a pretty good chance at getting a few 18’s on each character. Remember that hp bonus for Con is per hd and the ranger starts with 2 so he can easily start with >20 hp. If you want bad asses let them re-roll bad hp rolls. Use specialized weapons for the bonuses to hit and attack rates. Use deaths door rule so your pc’s don’t die until -10 hp and keep a henchman around to bandage anyone up who falls. Give out damage bonuses for strength to ranged weapons. This can be huge with the rate of fire of things like darts. Let players re-roll bad stats or let them them suicide bad overall characters and start over. Don’t believe the osr hype. There’s a reason munchkin was a term long before the board game and Monty Haul campaigns were a thing. Where there’s a will there’s a way and the TSR rules were always loosey-goosey enough to allow for overpowered badasses. [/QUOTE]
