101 Cool Character Concepts

[officeronin]

Based off the Human Fighter(character types/class types):
The Weaponsmith looking to make the ultimate weapon (takes Mage levels later on to start making magic weapons)
The career soldier
------------------------
The Martyr/Defensive specialist (If you need a human shield, he's your man)
The Big Bad Fighter Dude/Offense Specialist (Offense oriented, ungodly ammount of attacks a round, basically your typical BBFD)
The Balancing act (tries to balance attack and defense)
------------------------
Others:
Carbon Copy Man (maxed out disguise skill with appropriate feats)
Dancer (bard, high dex, appropriate feats, maxed out perform (dance))

And, of course, there are innumerable other options that are entirely RP based.

Uhg. Add the crowd controller (reach weapon with combat reflexes -- pursue improved trip/knockdown and the Ralix style out of Quintessential fighter) and the archer (cleric)

The cavalry guy isn't terrible, if you do a bunch of stuff outdoors...

[incognito]

Elvish Warlord: Chaotic Neutral. High STR, and a short fuse. Low CHA, and covered with scars. Rules his underlings with an Iron fist. Took the leadership feat does not worry about the penalties. Wears dark brown, and green plate, and a Falchion, two-handed.

 

[wolff96]

A gnomish barbarian that has trained and rides a Dire Wolverine for a mount. They can both rage.


A rogue with very high ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy, Sense Motive, Disguise, and Forgery. He's the ultimate con artist. Kind of weasely and tries to avoid combat or talk his way out of every situation.


A dwarvish bard/loremaster whose specialty is telling really, really bad jokes... Thanks, PC!

 

[officeronin]

The goblin rogue/ranger that hunts the PCs after they wipe out his tribe... Throw in a hat of disguise, and let him stalk them through several months -- even through cities!

A bard with performance ranks in various adult industries.

Anyone remember the "Lost Druid" kit out of the Complete Druid? Your grove had been destroyed, and you now recieved necromancy spells (but lost some other stuff). I played it as "Undead are just a progression of the natural order..."

How about the group of PCs that want to appear as heroes, without actually taking the risks!

#40) Will Stonehand: A dwarven fighter with a severely reduced intellegence, due to a nasty blow to the head a few years ago. Likes to mumble on about "crushing the hobgoblins", and has become enamored with the idea of using the "pincher movement" to attack enemies. Easily distracted, especially during the crucial role-playing scenes...

#41) Talya Wyvermere: A half-elf wererat, in love with one of the PCs recuring nemesis'. She's not bad...she's just drawn that way.

#42) A dryad bard/rogue, tied to one of the great oaks in the central park of a moderately-sized city. She runs one of the two city thieves guild. Her guild specializes in political intrigue.

#43) You. I mean it: You. How would you deal with adventuring for a living? Start with a level of Commoner, you fool...then try it.

 

[Moe Ronalds]

A rogue from an extremely backwater town that had no knowledge of or exposure to magic outside what they gained through legends. The rogue is a charlatan who came to the conclusion that magic is all sleight of hand. Uses alchemical substances and great performances to appear to be casting spells. May also have handle animal to rear a hawk "familiar".


A [insert barbaric race here] raised by paladins, who hears the call and has great desire to be one, but is still struggling to meet the alignment qualifications perfectly, and until then has to take levels of fighter or similar class.

Awakened monkey (ecl 2?) with levels of sorcerer/wizard

Gnomish pirate with high charisma that dresses in a bright purple pirate's outfit, obviously made for a much larger creature.

Ogre (ecl 8?) gunslinger (-2 dex is a bit of a problem but what ya can't shoot you can always smash.)

A villain I once came up with: A necromancer/rogue/fighter with boots of flying and great skill with a rapier who dresses like peter pan who, for one reason or another, can't die of old age. After seeing everything he's ever loved whither away and die, he's been driven to insanity. He flies through the sky, looking for children with open windows. He then steals the children, and uses them for his necromantic experiments.

Just don't use it for nefarious dark magic.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

A mysterious masked avenger, master of witty repartee and elegant swordplay. Quote: "I'll start with my left hand and see if you warrant my right!"

A focused, sneaky burglar type, who slowly develops a belief in the cause of good and becomes a champion of the people.

A wizard with a speech impediment (think Raistlin).

Anyone who fights with two weapons.

 

[Tyrant]

Im personally fond of my latest creation - a halforc transmuter with good str and con scores and the toughness feat. Yes the intelligence penalty is tough, but with the other combo I pity the person who thinks he's an easy target. Besides, he'll NEVER get targeted as being a spellcaster (well, until its too late)
