[QUOTE="Frosty, post: 222479, member: 5098"] I don't think it's munchkin to pick the best skills for your character. Adventurers fight monsters on a daily basis so it's only natural that they put some thought into the selection of their tools. Just like your average golfer, I might add. If it's allowed you should pick it. In our game you wouldn't fight with two bastard swords though. It seems ridiculous so a heavy penalty is suitable for any character who tries it. My group thinks that the spiked chain is a phony weapon and neither of us would be caught dead with one. In fact we laughed at an NPC that used one. When he died the last thing he heard was "You are no *real* munchkin! You can't even survive a melee". He had forgot to pick Combat Reflexes, lol. I usually summon monsters suitable for the task. If it's sheer fighting power I'm after I chose an elemental and if it's healing I need I summon celestials. Go figure. Some monsters can be summoned for answers, it's truly a versatile spell.
