[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 1494147, member: 6584"] Here's a couple I've been toying with playing. Saw the barbarian != savage idea on the boards and really liked it: So, using barbarian class: a Cultured, urbane warrior. Formerly an officer in some sort of military organisation. Possibly a noble. Drummed out of the forces, probably after a messy court martial... The 'barbarian' abilities represent the demon that is posessing them. It whispers warnings (uncanny dodge, trap sense). Sometimes it even takes over (rage!). Figured it could be fun! A partial concept: A non human tribal type. Part/All ranger probably works best. This person was bought up and trained to hunt and kill the humans who trespassed on their tribes lands. For some reason the character had to leave their tribe. They're now nomadic and lonely, seeking acceptance within a mostly human society. I think they could fit nicely into a group of PCs and would make for an interesting culture clash. They want to be accepted but find it really hard not to think of humans in terms of 'weak points', 'blind spots' and so on... Probably spent a good deal of time watching them with a 'predators eye'. My take was the character would be kind of 'Klingon like' - honour bound and militant (probably Lawful Neutral...). I would make them an excellent cook - with a little recipie book full of delicious ways to cook human. :) Some of the races that I'd consider: A half orc - raised by orcs. Very confused! An elf/half elf. From an extremely xenophobic and haughty elven settlement/nation. A hobgoblin - just cos I have a strange hankering to play a hobgoblin archer. Source unknown... :confused: Possible reasons for leaving: Showing mercy to a human? New, racist leader exiles them for being human (for the half orc/elf). Edit: I'm going to combine it with this! It's a great idea. :D Lishnak the Hobgoblin 'Human Hunter' Archer. Yay! [/QUOTE]
