What's Pun-Pun?

[Terraism]

If "moustache" is Supernatural, Spell-Like or Extraordinary, then Pun-Pun can be assumed to have it.

Pun-Pun looks an awful lot like this while the mustache is manifested, however.

 

[Tiberius]

The creation of Pun-Pun also gave us his only natural enemy, the Omniscificer. Similarly odd, but less "broken scalykind" and more "nonsensical drowning ruling" and "generally questionable infinite loop."

What is the manipulate form ability of the sarrukh they use to grant the infinite stats and abilities? I don't have MMIII. It sounds like it just lets them give any power to a reptilian or scaly monster?

Also it looks like divine minion has to be applied to a celestial or fiendish creature, so a normal kobold can't have that first step template.

Depending on whom you ask (mainly the sheep who follow Frank Trollman), Pun-Pun is based solely on the flavor text of the Sarrukh's ability, and not on any actual game mechanics. As was stated earlier, he's an example of Optimization gone wrong and the poster-boy for having a DM who applies common sense to rulings (despite the fact that nearly all powergamers I've met disregard common sense as not being RAW)

Sarrukh aren't from the MMIII, they are from Serpent Kingdoms.

Here in an NPC on the WotC site with the ability.

Manipulate Form (Su): At will, Ghiz'kith can modify the form of any Scaled One native to Toril, except for aquatic and undead creatures. With a successful touch attack, he can cause one alteration of his choice in the target creature's body. The target falls unconscious for 2d4 rounds due to the shock of changing form. A successful DC 22 Fortitude save negates both the change and the unconsciousness. Sarrukh are immune to this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Ghiz'kith may use this ability to change a minor aspect of the target creature, such as the shape of its head or the color of its scales. It may also choose to make a much more significant alteration, such as converting limbs into tentacles, changing overall body shape (snake to humanoid, for example), or adding or removing an appendage. Any ability score may be decreased to a minimum of 1 or increased to a maximum equal to Ghiz'kith's corresponding score. Ghiz'kith may also grant the target an extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like ability or remove one from it. The change bestowed takes effect immediately and is permanent. Furthermore, the alterations are automatically passed on to all the creature's offspring when it breeds with another of its unmodified kind.

See Serpent Kingdoms for the typical physical alterations that sarrukh bestow with this ability.

Pun Pun

Pun Pun is the only time a D&D player will ever get to walk into a game, throw down his character sheet and tell the DM "I Win".

Ghiz'kith may also grant the target an extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like ability or remove one from it.

No limits described. Wow.

An Over God could still kill him. Or any of the other so powerful they arent stated up entities.

That is assuming that Pun Pun ISNT the over god, after all if the over god wanted pun pun taken out he could have done it when pun pun was first level with a common house cat.

I'd like to see someone argue that, for that reason, Pun-Pun isn't broken.
