Huh?"Two of my best realized PCs of all time were very much "voice" characters. First, there was Brodacyn, an axe-wielding evoker specialist. He had a 6 Charisma, so I played him as an acidic, self-deprecating curmudgeon wearing wolf skins and encrusted with droppings from his falcon familiar. I used a slightly rasping, low, sulking voice, tinged with a Darth Vader like impatience. His response to "You'll know suffering as you have never endured before," was "I am already the most miserable person I know, so you'll have to do better than that." The Beast from Beauty and the Beast was also somewhat of an inspiration. He was a hateful, pessimistic creature who could foil attempt at diplomacy by his mere presence, and my group just loved him.Another of my favorites was Cobin, a NG bard who served as the paladin's pragmatic-minded squire. His backstory was that he was a useless, poetry writing dandy, who one day, seemingly on a whim, became a devoted chronicler and squire of a grim fighter turned questing paladin. I used the most mincing, droll voice I could come up with, equal parts Rupert Everrett, John Cleese, and Cary Elwes. I appropriate the vocabulary of a WWI era British aristocrat. He was basically a twit, but if he drew unexpected ire, he had a polite, ingratiating patter that would do a prince's valet proud.</blockquote>
