Big, Dumb, Dopey Flintlocks (over the top characters)

[shilsen]

I just want to play a nice simple gnome barbarian. A nice simple gnome barbarian with a big, spikey helmet. A nice simple gnome barbarian with a big, spikey helmet whose favoured combat tactic is to run between his enemies' legs.

 

[Orius]

A dwarf ranger that's basically a mountain man, he lives up in the hills with his grizzly bear companion, drinks a lot and bathes maybe once a year. He's really rude, and plays all sorts of crude and vulger pranks on people he meets.

I had a guy in a fun but shortlived campaign who played a Chaotic Cleric of Discordia. Not Chaotic Good or Evil or Neutral or anything like that - TRUE Chaotic. He rolled on a table every morning to find out what he was that day - Color, Race (including monstrous), Transparency, Special Possessions (None, Normal, Deck of Many Things, anything else that he could sow discord with), Wings, Gills, etc.

I made another guy's character his brother, so he had to watch out for him and try to straighten things up in his wake. Poor, poor Mark.

 

[Sejs]

A Celestial Imp with levels in Bard (divine bard variant) and Fiend of Possession...

... who also had an evil twin.


Or a Paladin with a split personality - his other self is a Cleric/Necromancer/Mystic Theurge, evil as sin, works primarily from behind the scenes, is incredibly elusive and claims to be his brother. The poor Paladin is his own arch-nemesis, but he doesn't know it.
