[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1367503, member: 871"] Hello again... here's a few more ideas: [list] [*]A charismatic, friendly, intelligent, generally likable (even attractive/sexy) female half-orc. Has a class [I]other than[/I] fighter or barbarian (or similarly combat-oriented class). Heck, I've made a pre-gen PC based off of this idea, after being inspired [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/hosted/Pozas/Pictures/Oddballs/horc_rogue.jpg]by yet another fantastic illustration by Claudio Pozas[/URL]. [*]A half-ogre rogue. Think how amusing it'd be seeing this Large-sized wall of muscle, walking on tiptoes with his/her back hunched, perhaps even muttering/whispering "Sneak, sneak, sneak..." while attempting to Hide or Move Silently. :D [*]A goblin paladin. Geneuinely tries to do good in the world, & cares only about helping those in need. The goblin's special mount could be a worg with the Sanctified Creature template from the [I]Book of Exalted Deeds[/I] (basically creating a Good-aligned worg). [*]An unintelligent, clumsy, unlikable, crude, crass, ugly elf or half-elf fighter (male or female). Prefers to go around dressed in heavy armor, armed with a greataxe, heavy flail, or some other massive damage-dealing melee weapon; either uses thrown weapons such as javelins or handaxes for ranged combat, or relies on using a heavy crossbow. Not necessarily Evil-aligned, but really rubs people the wrong way. [*]A rogue without a very high Dexterity score; instead, has a better Strength & Constitution score (possibly even the Toughness feat). Wears the "heaviest" sort of Light Armor possible, and uses damage-dealing weapons that [I]can't[/I] be Finessed (like heavy maces, clubs, or morningstars). More of a "heavy," "mugger," "enforcer," or "street thug" than a stealthy or sly rogue; heck, this character could even be a sort of a "bouncer" who took up adventuring. [*]A Neutral (i.e., non-Evil) gnome hexblade (from [I]Complete Warrior[/I]). Is strongly focused on vengeance rather than justice (thus though having good intentions, he is willing to commit questionable deeds in order to set things right--though there are some lines even he won't cross). Whether he's sick & tired of the corruption & cruelty he sees in everyday life, haunted by the murders of those close to him, or just has a "fight fire with fire" mentality, this guy definitely is the type to hold a grudge against those who've wronged him or those people, ideas, & things that are important to him. [*]A dwarven swashbuckler (from [I]Complete Warrior[/I]). Uses light weapons such as a short sword, light mace, handaxe or throwing axe, or even a light pick, spiked chain, or sickle [I]instead[/I] of the typical rapier. Acts just as whimsical & dashing as any other typical swashbuckler. [*]A LN hobgoblin samurai (either the [I]Complete Warrior[/I] or [I]Oriental Adventures[/I] version).
