A. Fend off his adversaries in the name of Runner Solidarity and honor.

A. Change the tire in a normal fashion, knowing that your driving skills should allow you to make up for lost time with little or no problem.

B. Carjack the first vehicle you see.

C. Breath a sigh of relief because your tank doesn't even have tires.

7. During a run on a high-tech R&D facility you make off with the only existing prototype for an extraordinarily powerful and destructive, yet light weight and concealable laser weapon.

Realizing this, you decide to:

A. Destroy the weapon before it has the opportunity to disrupt the delicate balance of power that exists in today's world.

B. Take it to a range for a few hours, then destroy it.

C. Take it to a park.

8. While shopping for Sloppy Soy at your local Stuffer Shack a group of gang members starts to rough up the store owner. You:

A. Utilize your Taser and Stun Stick to bring down the gang members and then watch over them until the cops come to pick them up.

B. Beat the living tar out of the gang members and then watch over them until an ambulance comes to pick them up.

C. Fill the gang members with several kilograms of lead and then leave before the janitor comes to clean them up.

SCORING: Give yourself one point for every time you chose A, two points for every B and three points for every C. A score of 8-13 means that your are not munchkin material. 14-17 means that you have to potential to become munchkinized, so perhaps you need to chill next time you go gun shopping. A score of 18-24 means that I would personally punch you in the face if you ever got anywhere NEAR one of my gaming sessions.
