Message: <blockquote data-quote="takasi" data-source="post: 3289236" data-attributes="member: 20194">One of the players in our group loves psionics but almost everyone else in the group dislikes the flavor (and/or the mechanics).  To make things worse, this player is probably the biggest "powergamer" of the group and despite being in his mid-forties he is regularly teased for being a "munchkin".  Last night we talked about a special homebrew race just for this player: Munchkin<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">+2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Small: As a small creature, a munchkin gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but she uses smaller weapons than humans use and her lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Munchkin base land speed is 20 feet.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Naturally Psionic: Munchkins gain 1 extra power point per character level, regardless of whether they choose a psionic class</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 extra feat at 1st level</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Favored Class: Psion</li> </ul>These munchkins would be horribly evil of course.  They compare to the lolly pop making munchkins of Oz as the craptacular sequel compares to the original.  Also, most of them resemble Dungeon Master from the D&D cartoon.Is this an LA +0 race?  According to Savage Species, being small is considered a -1 LA, but I don't think a psion would really care about that at all.  In fact the boost to AC and attack would be a benefit.  The ability scores balance each other.  The extra skill and racial bonuses from skills are replaced with the Kalashtar "naturally psionic" ability.  And of course the most munchkiny of all racial features: an extra feat at 1st level.</blockquote>
