Rule -1

[Saph]

That's a great quote Nexx.

Seconded. Rang very true with my experience.

Munchkins love optimisation, too, especially the 'campaign smasher' sort. Interestingly, the players who usually invent the really broken builds aren't munchkins at all - they're the powergamer or creative types with a lot of spare time on their hands, who come up with builds like The Hive because it's fun. However, once the build is out there, the munchkins pick it up and use it whenever they can (or just brag about it if they can't). It's one of the reasons I tend to steer clear of the Wizards boards.
