Message: <blockquote data-quote="takyris" data-source="post: 292832" data-attributes="member: 5171">My current favorite?  That'd have to be Mirk.Mirk (Short for Merciful) Gilliwum, a half-orc barbarian/rogue.  Left out to die in the wilderness and raised by a village of halflings.  He tried to be a scout to follow in his folks' footsteps, but slowly he's had to admit that the barbarian part of him isn't evil or bad.He's got high wisdom and intelligence, but talks with a deliberately dumb voice because people expect it.  ("Um... Mirk not do disarming traps. It not really Mirk's thing ...")  He also likes to see himself as the lonely defender of the helpless, and often sings poorly reworked versions of Eagles songs to himself.  ("Mirk-a-RAH-do, why not me come to me senses, been out hitting fences, doom dee doom...")The part about him that I have the most fun with is that he's not really a combat-heavy guy.  He can DO it, but by profession, he's a boxer.  Ambi, 2-weaponing, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, and Extra Stunning.  His general strategy in a boxing match is to stun with the first hit, allowing his second and off-hand hits to benefit from sneak attack damage.  If Mirk can convince somebody to settle a dispute with a boxing match, he's the happiest guy on earth.So he ends up being a great guy to roleplay, and useful to the party as a scout, archer, and occasionally as a boxer.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-Tacky</blockquote>
