Re: munchkin creation contest.
The best power chars are a mix of two or three of the categories you listed.
Besides...it is the player that is the munchkin not the char. Unless there are blatant misinterpretations within the creation of the char, then it is a munchkin char.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
I've always said that Munchkin isn't simply choosing a powerful character. As choosing to play character X, the GM simply has you fight 2 character X's. No the true secret of muchkinism is you choose something that looks reasonable on the surface, only to find out later it's over powered. Often times by combining (as Drew Kitty said) things that were never intended to be combined. I did vote for Super Powers, as it's been my experience that they're the most likely to have over looked how well they combine with each other.
Other options are Race + Class combo's that weren't intended to exist
Bonus points for people who have their own house ruled equipment.

Yea I love super powers but!
The strongest doesn't always win.
The invincible yellow sun man could just as easily be cast into a dimensional portal as anyone else.
My choice is psionics.
So much munchkinism from the high saves to varying effects.

Good thing. Inducing either suicidal or homicidal tendencies in a GM is NOT conducive to successful long running campaigns.

LOL, heh, yeah.
Honestly I created the above as a thought exercised. It started off adding all the individual add-ons I saw in different submitted characters (to me as a GM) to a single character.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
My most munching charter for rifts is not from rifts.
Immortal martial artist from N&SS that has self rez.
LVL 15 martial artist with all but one marital art form from ninjas and super spies.
He also has the mage class from ninjas and super spies that can learn any magic he finds in written form and is a TW in rifts. In addition over a century of college so he learned nearly every skill in the book.
So he has chi, supernatural powers, magic, skills, and psionic.
Note he did not start out that way but was part of a epic campaign that the GM came up with for a deployment. The charters all grew over time and the campaign. The end of it was when the three immoral PCs saved a human nation on rifts earth from the original FOM being manipulated a group of AIs.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
My most munchkin character pales in comparison to most everything listed so far, though he might be a contender just based off pure awesome.
Well, if I did class breakdown correctly. Having 25exp levels is a bit silly.

seeing as how munchkin is supposed to misinterpret rules a mage that uses my favorite, kill anything with a face spell combo.
create deck of cards (permanent)
infinite deck of cards
card daggers
52 cards to the face
make it better by doing time slip and applying a deck, still in the box, with carpet of adhesion onto the target, while drawing a face with a sharpie if needed, both non-violent or hostile actions on their own. Then cancel the time slip by activating the 52 cards to the face after reaching a safe distance to avoid your now flailing foe.
munchkin enough?
misread or rather misinterpret that all spells being magic means that card daggers must then be magic weapons and in Rifts that would make them do M.D.

The four armed nightbane, while powerful loses munchkin points for the rune weapons.
And The Gambitesque 52 to the face. Lololololol.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
I am rather fond of demonstrating how munchkin is a playing style not a character. One person (or games) 'Munchkin' is another games 'low end normal'....and vice versa. My Tellas game had every PC in it built as a full character and then added all the abilities of a Demigod on top of that. (Demigod dragon, Demigod Nightbane, Demigod Kildred, Demigod Zhembahk, ect......) And as my players will tell you it turned out that they had insufficient to fight their way out of the problems they were facing. Those characters were not munchkin they were barely adequate. On the flip side in one of my urban games every single character was a normal person type (Vagabonds, Urchins, City Rats, Saddle Tramps, Saloon Bums, etc) all humans or human similar races (elves, gnomes, dwarves, etc) with at most minor psi. In this game something as (usually seen as) low powered as a Headhunter with major psi would have been seen as an overpowered munchkin.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
Headhunter compared to city rat isn't munchkin. If the game calls for demigod characters, then what have you.
What's munchkin is characters and playstyles that overtly and subtly bring unintended ability. The motto of the munchkin tends to be, "Well it doesn't say you can't."
But even that can be misleading, as reason should defeat rules issues. The real problem is creation of issue where there is none, then resolving it with "reason" that has explicit benefit, usually short term, for the party in question.
A lot can fall under this. Like, people who borrow better versions of skills from other game lines, particularly physical skills. Usually the reason being is that they are from the setting where the skill version originates, but they have low to zero transition issue to their new environment, mechanically, regardless. The same is said for gear. SDC to MDC conversion has been abused to all holy hell in many games, by munchkins.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
I got it there is a vegetable alien in AU that has the ability to turn into a copy of some one with all ration traits and skills. They turn into perfect copies of a target with no mention like the other doppelgangers in the book about not working on supernatural.
I present to you the Dop-elpoep so make one and pick a class. So what would be a good class to take. I am fond of TWs so I make a Dop-elpoep with the OCC TW he then creates resin bases and studies and exact copies of each other presented munchkin charter. He now can use his power to switch bodies to each of them and adding his powers and TW skills to the munchkin charter he is coping.

The example was that in a game of all minor psi's trying to take major psi (for 3-4 times the psychic power of any other person) would be munchkin....it was an attempt to demonstrate that munchkin is relative. A 'weak' character can still be munchkin if they are deliberately overpowered for the setting they are in.

What's munchkin is characters and playstyles that overtly and subtly bring unintended ability. The motto of the munchkin tends to be, "Well it doesn't say you can't."
I agree....that is why I used the example I did.
Alrik Vas wrote:But even that can be misleading, as reason should defeat rules issues. The real problem is creation of issue where there is none, then resolving it with "reason" that has explicit benefit, usually short term, for the party in question.
A lot can fall under this. Like, people who borrow better versions of skills from other game lines, particularly physical skills. Usually the reason being is that they are from the setting where the skill version originates, but they have low to zero transition issue to their new environment, mechanically, regardless. The same is said for gear. SDC to MDC conversion has been abused to all holy hell in many games, by munchkins.
Amen to this. I have become a real stickler on moving stuff between SDC/MDC worlds for this very reason.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
Once had a Valkyrie Pilot that in combination of the Human Talents let him have 16 attacks per melee in his Valkyrie. GM also gave him 4 of the Automated Attack bits. they can fire 3x per melee the plasma spear 2x per melee. Plus the VMS carries 64 SRM's usually AP or plasma, if we use AP (Using RUE's AP rules of double damage on 18-20 and triple on a nat 20 makes this very mean) first 3 attacks of the Melee round would be doing 21D6x10 each then you would still have 2 attacks of the plasma spear at 3d6x10 and still have 11 attacks left for other mayhem such as more missles (it's ROF limits it to 9 missiles per volley and after the first three it would still have 37 missiles left to split among the 11 remaining attacks.
And yes this character actually saw play. And was only played at the GM's insistence. For some reason he was obsessed with the VMS. I had originally wanted to play a regular Veritech Pilot with the VAF-7A.

Re: munchkin creation contest.
Here's a book legal character, who at Level 1 has...
IQ 28
PS 40 (robotic level)
PP 26
Speed 220 (150mph) running (also flies at 200mph)
12 Attacks per melee
620 MDC
But the kicker is the number of skills: 64 (yes, sixty-four at level 1)
Spoiler:
Some gave all.

You sorta beat me to it. Personally, I would go with a 1st Ed unmicronized Zentraedi (PE and PS multiplied by 100) with super powers under the Mega Hero template. Gives him SNPS, +50% to SDC (which becomes MDC in Rifts). Add in the powers of Shrinking, and Channel and Redirect Energy. If feeling especially malicious, toss in Force Field powers (Create Force Field grants a maximum MDC force field of about 200,000 (PE 2000 multipied by 100)).
Roughly it means a First Level character with:
2500 SNPS (625 tons)
3000 MDC
Immunity to energy (and the ability to refire the energy out)
For extra oomph, add in a chi-heavy martial arts form (base chi is rtoughly 2000, before additions)
Would I allow it? Hell, no! Is it book legal? Technically, yes, depending on GM allowance for crossover.

played no, encountered yes and with my most "munchkinesk character"
Alecia DeVreis the hundredhanded was a minor menace (25xp) for defeating it.
Alecia was a character that started out as someone that Thought she was human, but was really a human DB. Special forces from the mercs book.
she also had the highest psionics from the random background table.
in addition I rolled well enough on the strength and PP stats that she was over stat cap for cybernetics.
the GM decided to have her have an "accident" using a plasma ejector (he had it detonate by getting hit while firing) before the game even started, and she got "rescued by Archie as an experiment" which involved him using robotic/bionic replacements to replace the blown off body parts.
she had a bionic left arm and partial left torso replacement. bionic Left eye (disguised) bionic right hand and some forearm, bionic left leg (I think) and right foot (maybe)
she also got a custom shemarrian armor/powerarmor and was assigned a Modified Monst Rex made to resemble a Wolf, or a Tiger, that had an AI with a personality profile that was essentially a copy of Alecia.
she also got a full set of shemarrian standard gear, including the railgun, and after a few adventures was assigned 2 "normal" shemarrian bots.
later adventures involved Alecia Dimension hopping repeatedly, where she commonly picked up gear and skills from other places.
known settings she ended up in: manhunter, Scrapers, Origional Battlestar Galactica, Battletech, Star Wars, Star Trek, several "world" settings the GM created, including something he called "tulip world" which was partially populated by some seriously NASTY practical joker plants.
In Tulip World there are fields of these ~6-8 foot tall Tulip looking plants, that have a rather unique defense mechanism. they do NOT appreciate people and things walking close to them so they tend to blast them with large amounts of Pollen, the problem is the Pollen they shoot is a VERY powerful Mutagenic Compound, that can trigger all kinds of random (roll D100-D1000 for effect and large number of effects and lead to subtables) mutation effects.
Known effects include: beneficial mutations, Malevolent Mutations, super power effects, Race and body type changes, etc. no one ever rolled it but I am sure it is possible to go from being a "normal human" to suddenly being a dog boy, or dragon or whatever, limb changes growing hair fur or scales etc.
I know when Alecia was around level 8 or 9 Special forces she ran into one of those mutation encounters and by the time it was all over ... she was required to change her class to Godling. and after another few sets of adventures she gained a set of "deific powers" that included enhanced psionic abilities and Magic along with a Deific Title. After words she became "Alecia DeVreis Godess of high tech warfare"

Good thing you didn't have an Oh My Goddess-style 'couplet' system in place, otherwise somebody would have had to have been made over into 'DemonLord of Catastrophic Battlefield Screwups".
