* {{Ninja Loot|ing}}er: Don't expect a Munchkin to share the spoils of an adventure equally -- if he can't take the lion's share, he'll try to take the ''best'' stuff first.
* Gamebuster: MinMaxing taken to its upper limit. Any Munchkin character of this type is nothing more than a collection of 'powers taken for no logical in-story reason other than their combat effectiveness. Often includes blatant GameBreaker abilities and power combinations that were never meant to be. Call him out on this and he'll call you a {{Scrub}}.
* RulesLawyer: This Munchkin disputes every GameMaster ruling and has memorized every loophole in the game manual. For some reason, he never seems to "correct" the DM when the rules as written would hurt him. The GameMaster's best tactic against this guy is RuleZero; what the DM says, goes, no matter what page 54, column 2, line 41, word 5 of the book says.
* Cheater: He never rolls where you can clearly see him and he gets a distressing number of natural 20s. It's just his "lucky dice", he says. His character sheet comes prerolled with max stats. And he has an annoying habit of "forgetting" to write things down, like whether he's used up his spells for the day. 
* {{Metagame}}r: We all metagame once in a while. After all, even if our characters don't know exactly what that orb with the eyes is, they've got the feeling that it's ''dangerous'' and probably shouldn't be charged head-on. But this guy seems to have read (and memorized) all the monster manuals and the published adventures, and is [[CrazyPrepared impossible to catch off guard]]. Once he sees that beast charging him, he ''immediately'' breaks out the [[AchillesHeel acid]]. Homebrewing is the best way to trip this fellow up.
* [[BloodKnight Psychopath]]: If it has stats, [[LordBritishPostulate it's there to be killed]]. For this Munchkin, [[MurderIsTheBestSolution violence is the first, last, and only solution to every problem]]. Even the most zealous [[TheRealMan Real Man]] knows when it's not time to fight, but not this guy. He'll take up any excuse to start a fight.

* {{Ninja Loot|ing}}er: Don't expect a Munchkin to share the spoils of an adventure equally -- if he can't take the lion's share, he'll try to take the ''best'' stuff first (even if his SquishyWizard obviously has no use for a holy sword compared to ThePaladin). TheRealMan hates this kind of Munchkin for depriving them of payoff.
* Gamebuster: MinMaxing taken to its upper limit. Any Munchkin character of this type is nothing more than a collection of powers taken for no logical in-story reason other than their combat effectiveness. Often includes blatant GameBreaker abilities and power combinations that were never meant to be. Call him out on this and he'll call you a {{Scrub}}. Other [[MinMaxing Min-Maxers]] hate this kind of Munchkin for lacking [[WillfullyWeak tact]], or for using MinMaxing as a means to an end rather than taking enjoyment in the process itself.
* RulesLawyer: This Munchkin disputes every GameMaster ruling and has memorized every loophole in the game manual. For some reason, he never seems to "correct" the DM when the rules as written would hurt him. The GameMaster's best tactic against this guy is RuleZero; what the DM says, goes, no matter what page 54, column 2, line 41, word 5 of the book says. The LawfulGood variety of RulesLawyer hate this kind of Munchkin for missing the point of having rules in the first place.
* Cheater: He never rolls where you can clearly see him and he gets a distressing number of natural 20s. It's just his "lucky dice", he says. His character sheet comes prerolled with max stats. And he has an annoying habit of "forgetting" to write things down, like whether he's used up his spells for the day. LawfulGood {{Rules Lawyer}}s hate this kind of munchkin for not following the rules, while [[MinMaxing Min-Maxers]] hate them for [[HardWorkHardlyWorks trivialising the work they put into improving their own characters]].
* {{Metagame}}r: We all metagame once in a while. After all, even if our characters don't know exactly what that orb with the eyes is, they've got the feeling that it's ''dangerous'' and probably shouldn't be charged head-on. But this guy seems to have read (and memorized) all the monster manuals and the published adventures, and is [[CrazyPrepared impossible to catch off guard]]. Once he sees that beast charging him, he ''immediately'' breaks out the [[AchillesHeel acid]]. Homebrewing is the best way to trip this fellow up. TheRoleplayer hates this kind of Munchkin for breaking their WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.
* [[BloodKnight Psychopath]]: If it has stats, [[LordBritishPostulate it's there to be killed]]. For this Munchkin, [[MurderIsTheBestSolution violence is the first, last, and only solution to every problem]]. Even the most zealous [[TheRealMan Real Man]] knows when it's not time to fight, but not this guy. He'll take up any excuse to start a fight. TheRoleplayer hates this kind of Munchkin for cutting off potentially interesting stories, or because willingly teaming up with someone so unstable is OutOfCharacter for their own character.
