I actually know someone who would take this serious!

You think this is funny, but I've seen it happen.

Back in high school, we had a fun low-level campaign going, and one guy asked his friend to join us for a game. This guy kept getting confused on his numbers, claiming outrageous results, until we checked his math.

You see, the guy had played in a campaign where every player HD was a d30, where you rolled a d30 to determine the + of a magic item, and everyone was 80th level or so. These guys would kill Tiamat every morning for practice. So, of course, he assumed we did something similar in our world.
Apparently that other campaign came to a screeching halt when the DM was thrown in jail. While in prison he started a campaign in there, same rules.

forcing the munchkin PrC to decide on which single ability he wants from class 1, 2, and 3 is TREMENDOUSLY limiting!

you really need to rework this to promote balance. he should get ALL of the abilities and there should be 9 different classes...

this is what friggen irks me about 3E... such sloppy work and people expect a pat on the back.... sheesh!

[hammymchamham]

my reasons for taking this PrC is because it fits with my charecter and its what she would do.

 

[Leopold]

you forgot DR 50/+5

 

[hammymchamham]

you forgot DR 50/+5

Thats what the Forsaker is for

 

[DM with a vengence]

While this is a good start, it should have some additional rules.
Hit points, reroll anything but 100.

Level 1: Alter Reality
As many times as he wants, the munchkin can alter reality to change the world, gain an ability, item, cohort, or XP, get meta game knowledge, or pretty much anything else he or she wants.

Level 10: Win the Game.
The munchkin has won the game. Because he has won, he no longer can play anymore. Everybody else rejoices.

And there's missing "far-fetched in-game background fudge". And allowed races should be ECL +3 and up as a prerequisite.

And what's with this "As Fighter" BAB nonsense? That's too weak. You're limiting them to arbitrary limits. I want my BAB to increase by 2 per level, AND have a Monk-like progression when using weapons (with none of that "5-attack-limit" nonsense).

And why should my later attacks have less chance to hit than my early ones? It's the same type of attack, they should all be at my full BAB.

Also, Munchkin should be a Template, not a PrC. You should get these abilities in addition to your normal class abilities; you're penalizing spellcasters otherwise.

Oh, and you should have the quickened spell-like ability to cast Wish or Miracle at will, with no XP cost. I mean, if I can say "I wish for a sword", why can't my character? And in a magical world, they should get it!
