funniest multiclassing

[Voadam]

I do have a barbarian/shadowdancer/rokugan ninja/wheel of time initiate, but that's a whole different story.

We might have a winner here But what race and templates is he/does he have?

As long as he makes sense in context, go for it, but that must be quite a story context!

Right.

THat stomps a lot of possibilities. Paladin/Druid, Druid/Monk, Barb/Pal, Bard/Monk... You get the point.

Actually you can have a druid/Monk - You just have to be LN.

I am currently playing one (eventually moving into the Shifter PrC) - he basically believes in the purity of form - any form and is striving to experince most of them.

It is interesting since most of the classes complement each other. I fight bare-fisted - and cast Magic Fang on myself to overcome DR..... I am also the second best Diplomat in the group (after the bard) - unfortunately for the party - I always uphold my end of the bargain........

I have a Calimshani (Arab-Indian like) Monk 1/Druid 4... works out quite well... LN of course.

I made him more of a urban background Druid... its not so much about protecting wildlife as fighting against things that go against whats "natural". Nature has a order... and my Lawful part concentrates on order...

Makes for great AC in Wildshape form. He also uses the scimitar like a Monk weapon... yet he is primarily a spellcaster... thats until he wildshapes the first time.

There's actually also a player in my campaign who is a Rogue 6/Paladin 2. Granted, his concept was more the swashbuckling carefree scoundrel type than thief (until a jail term dampened his spirits.... but that's another story) but it works. Makes for the occasional odd juxtaposition though ("I can't believe we're sending our paladin to check for traps....").

He RPed the transition to a LG alignment for a couple levels before he actually took the paladin level but it still surprised a number of the other players (who swear it's the last time they let him go off by himself to get training ).

But it's certainly do-able. You just have to be willing to break certain stereotypes. In some ways, it's handy for the player because NPCs don't peg him as paladin straight off so they don't take special care to 'act nice' around him.

A halfling barbarian silly? Think of a pissed-off rabid wolverine, and tell me how silly the concept is again. After all, a rottweiler is not that much bigger than a halfling, and they can kill a human.

I'd have to agree. I was in a campaign and we encountered... I'm not sure if it was actually a halfling barbarian, but it was short and frothed at the mouth and did a scary amount of damage. We ran.

oh. i forgot to mention he's a doppleganger.
but yeah. he makes sense in context. taken out of context though, well, he sounds completely absurd. but, i can't go into it. oh well.
no templates.

i asked my DM if this combo was valid, and the answewr was a solemn NO

monk /barbarian

the obvious bonuses- high skill pt/hp/save, rage, uncanny dodge, and all the cool monk abil

the idea: he was a barbarian the has killed too many people. He has turned to meditation to find inner peace. but every now and again, he loses control and enters a frenzied rage that blinds him to his actions. whne he recovers, he awakens to a bloody reality where he must lament the dead and repent for his losing control.

what's wrong? a barbarian is chaotic. A monk is lawful.

dont see the problem yet? a barbarian who become lawful loses his ability to rage. a monk who strays from the path no longer can gain any levels as monk...

so I am screwed both ways...

I made up but didn't get to play (more than one little 'testing out 3e' one shot) a character like this. The idea was he had been a viking like barbarian who got wounded and left behind in a raid on a monastery. The monks healed him and generally treated him with more forgiveness than he thought possible. Between that and his near death experience, he decided to reform. He joined their order to try to repay them for what he had done and to seek absolution for his crimes and he became lawful and a monk, thus losing his ability to rage, but keeping the other benefits of a few levels of Barbarian. Then he went on the road seeking opportunities to right wrongs and help the weak in his attempt to 'make up' for his own freebooting past.

He couldn't rage, but he was 6'6" of pure 18-strength d12 hit die viking.... monk.

I made him up for a little one shot where we were learning 3e combat back in August 2000 and I kicked butt on a mounted knight.

Barbarian/Bard...

Don't make fun of his Mouthharp!

Hey I had one of those, minus the mouth harp. Bard/Barbarian is a great multiclass, versitile and fun.

best of all, he wasn't a Skald-- Just a ships surgeon who spent a few years with wild elves

Does that make him a Drunk? or do you have to have the PRC first

In my ravenloft game a gladiator from Dark Sun got sucked in and joined the party. He was a whirlwind of destruction brutally dispatching the gothic horror monsters they came across. At one point somebody said something about halflings and the badass gladiator said "There are Halflings about?" and just sat down looking dejected. When the other characters asked what was going on he replied "If there are Halflings here, we are all dead anyway, there is no use going on. Oh well, it was a good life. There are worse fates than ending up a halfling's meal, at least it will be a quick death." The other PCs were completely flabbergasted. It was great that the gladiator's PC and I were the only ones familiar with Dark Sun's different setting aspects.

heheh, classic
