1001 worst character types

[Arrond Hess]

The paladin who's only aspiration is to fall from grace in the most violent manner evar.

Paladin/Bard (Yes, houserulled, but was a cool concept) who was more interested in looting than saving the world, and refused to give up an item that was fairly useless to him to help out someone else (It gave him +1 to all his saves, bringing his lowest up to +15, meanwhile someone elses highest was +8 and could use the item's other functions)

The Scan & Smite Paladin

A Lawful-Good (lite) paladin who has no problem about looking the other way.
"So, let me get this straight. You got into a bar-room fight and killed a couple of other patrons and the bouncer... No worries, we'll just keep you out of sight until things blow over."

OK, I'm starting to feel bad for the poor Pally here... Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know, the last quote is mine... but still. The poor, poor Pally, so misunderstood...

... ...

The Paladin who believes anybody can be redeemed, even after they have killed off half of the party.

So I'm weak... sue me...

 

[Rystil Arden]

In the spirit of Paladins...

The Paladin whose player is insane, where both the player and the character make a sock puppet friend, which the player uses as a prop. He doesn't do anything lawful or good, but the GM doesn't do anything about it.

Mr Head?

Yeah, Paladins are easy to screw up, but that's because some people don't understand Lawful or Good (On both sides). Of course, sometimes DMs take the extra efort to screw them, so I guess it evens out.

Yes, a lot depends on the GM. Then again, sometimes players choose paladin because they love the importance their character gains to the whole party's path, even if it is only because they have to go out of their way to go behind the paladin's back.

Another one:

-Character who were created after the player was informed what the rest of the party is like, that are incompatable with one of the current characters. "Ok, we have a Paladin, a Rogue, and a Druid. What would you like to play?" "I'll play an Evil Necromancer!"

 

[Rystil Arden]

A halfling pirate named Chadwick von Piratesworth in an Eyros campaign involving a scion of House Malarn member of the Crucible who worships the Flame of Judgment, a warmage whose family was killed by halfling pirates, and an ex-military scout who fought against halfling pirates.

That said, the pirate was a neat character, and once we switched him into a different game, he worked out well.

 

[Hussar]

The Priest of Corean who allowed orcs to slaughter helpless human prisoners and then play with the bodies.

The elven wizard who decided suddenly to become claustrophobic so as to not have to do any role play with the UnderKing, but, had no problems before or after with entering dungeons.

ANY PLAYER WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ONLINE GAME, ASKS TO PLAY UMPTEEN DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, EMAILS A SIX PAGE BACKSTORY, AND THEN NEVER PLAYS!!!!

((Whoops, slipped into a slightly different thread there for a second))

The goblin rogue lothario who lusted after the human priestess.

 

[Dougal DeKree]

A lawful good drow paladin of Helm with CHA 8. Played by our drama queen who wants him to be interesting and well liked, but still the lone wolf.

 

[Vraille Darkfang]

Bard with as many Electrical effects as he could muster.

Name: Van Halen.

Birthplace: "Niether form the cursed drug-den excuse for a county Roth, nor the horrid back-woods nether-hole of Haggar, but from the truly superior, grand and nearly perfect county of Cherone

Death came swiftly to claim him. (A glyph of warding in the outhouse).

 

[The Edge]

The guest player in short one session games.

Barry: (looking though equipment) "cool, I forgot about the sack!"
Me: Waiting to hear what hes thinking
Barry: "The zombies had balls right?"


I had no desire no run even a one session game, with a corpse eating, zombie-balls-in-a-sack wielding dwarf. He also earlier tried to flirt with the female characters, when the dwarf got slaped for that he tried a graple check and got stabed, then turned his attention to the male half-orc, finaly decideing that only the dead would acept him.

Barry will not be playing a game with me again.
