If she has a history behind this charcter with a logical explination of the levels and how they relate to her charcter then its all ok. Just because she has a path developed for this charcter doesn't mean she is a munchkin (I to mave made one of those build on the bioware page just for kicks (see Leanna Bella Try explaining that build from a RP perspective LOL))

Thos the Bioware page does off this as an explination for these builds

There is something alluring about Munchkinism. What is Munchkinism you ask? To be a proper Munchkin, you need to be focused on one overwhelming goal: attaining Infinite Cosmic Power. Forget namby-pamby roleplaying. Forget realism. Forget game-balance destroying exploitation of the rules. You want a character so powerful that, in the words of a famous barbarian, "you drive your enemies before you amongst the lamentations of their women". Darn tootin'.

We thought that a section of the Neverwinter Nights Community Site should be devoted to the very best, the very extreme, and the very Munchkinist of character builds that have been carefully crafted by the best to be the best at being the best in the best way. That's right baby. Some do the most damage with one hit, some are the best at firing arrows, and some are the best at resisting attacks. Whatever their particular focus, all would be pretty scary if encountered in a game.
I say if you can justify it from a RP perspective then its all good [/QUOTE]I don't know if any of you remember my bard/assassin/arcane archer Mebrinde. I had to go into the toolset, and write a book about her history, because it was easier than trying to explain to other players why, when we would encounter Drow in Undermountain, she'd shout, *Why can't you just leave me alone?* She was the closest thing I had to a munchkin, but if any of you can remember her from the local vault days, I rp'd her to the max. I lucked out when I lost my other computer, and had her on a server vault somewhere else, but she was a popular char, and when hordes came out, and killed her, there were some players that mourned her death, to the point where I had to rebuild her. The funny thing is, I initially made up her history on lvl 11, while hiding from all the archers from hell that used to be, may still be, down there. Moral to the story; probably not one, but just because my char can whip your char doesn't mean I'm a munchkin, unless, of course, I am. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
