Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaculata" data-source="post: 8279225" data-attributes="member: 6801286">My first D&D character that I remember was a barbarian berserker called Logue. He was a funny character who was very uncultured and tribal. He was very superstitious and afraid of witchcraft and ghosts. His biggest fear however, was heights.Logue grew up in the barbarian tribe of The Great Bear. At age 16, boys of the tribe must seek out the bear in his cave, and face him unarmed. Due to his fear of heights however, Logue was unable to climb up to the cave. His parents were so embarassed, that he was banished from the tribe in shame.Years later as an adult, his party members ultimately helped him overcome his fear of heights, and face the bear. Logue returned victorious, after beating the bear at a friendly game of arm wrestling.Logue's belief in the Great Bear was a funny running joke. His party members were always highly skeptical of the existence of his deity. But ironically, the Great Bear was the only deity who would occasionally appear before the party over the course of several campaigns, and help them. The first time Logue summoned the Great Bear, the whole party had to wear facepaint and dance around a big fire while intoxicated. It worked though; the Bear appeared from the flames and gave the party guidance.A lot of humor often came from Logue trying to adjust to the high society. Whenever the party was invited by a noble, Logue's presence was a guaranteed disaster just waiting to happen. The barbarian had no clue how to behave among the upper class, nor how to use cutlery, or what language would be appropriate. Occasionally Logue would get angry and accuse people of making words up, when simply using words he did not know. Other times Logue would act smug, and use a fancy word incorrectly in order to try and appear sophisticated.Despite all his flaws, Logue had his heart in the right place. He would gladly die in battle to defend his friends, or to protect the innocent. He cared deeply for the creatures of the forest, and he had a strong sense of honor.When all seemed lost and the party was about to be defeated by an undead dragon, Logue showed his true courage. He called upon the Great Bear to look upon him, as he cast off his armor and charged the dragon naked, wielding only his bastard sword. He did not fear death and was ready to die. Much to everyone's surprise however, he did not die. It was that final charge that ultimately slayed the dragon!Years later I played Logue again in a 5e one shot. I may play him again for a full 5e campaign.</blockquote>
