My favourite starting fighter. Not a munchkin except in the sense optimised for combat and nothing else
Lance the elvish spearman
ST 11
DX 12
IQ 9
MA 14
pole weapons (2), bow (2), running (2), missile weapons (3)
shield on his back, for which he has no talent, for protection from the rear and from friendly fire

Closes and attacks from range of 7, striking before opponent and hitting 74% of the time, for an average of 2d+1 damage, usually enough to knock down unarmored opponents
Against parties with no ranged threats, set against charge to protect friendly ranged units
Jab and longbow to harass/provoke and for further versatility
Lance works fairly well with clones of himself to give an impressive level of damage output. A party of four Lances (split between spear and longbow when entering the rooms) will usually be able to run through every room in Death Test 1.
