[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8412120, member: 29398"] Some I've seen over time - most are/were not my own: The Gnome Alaska Stilth Incan* (I-as-DM ask player for PC's name; his reply is "still thinkin'"; my reply is "Good. How are you spelling that?") No'ei Deyayet* (same sequence as Stilth, above) Axwell Smart (not a PC name yet; I use it for one of the warriors a PC of mine has the ability to summon now and then) Characters with dismal starting stats have generated a few: Mediocrates^ Averjax^ Knottwoor Thmutch Weir Foct ^ - fun fact: Mediocrates and Averjax came into a party together; Mediocrates lasted just long enough to be caught in the only TPK I've ever DMed. Class-race combinations have led to: Pelmuc (Part-Elf Magic-user/Cleric) Anne (Assassin-Necromancer Neutral Evil; killed in process of meeting the party before they ever knew what she was) Elena (Elf Lawful Evil Necromancer-Assassin; and Anne's direct replacement) Our random name generation system has led to some crazy and-or nigh-unpronounceable names; one of the worst of the latter being my bard Que'fnlnrl. Oddly enough, her name being unpronounceable made sense in a way: she was a full Dryad, meaning the only way to say her name properly would be to first turn yourself into a tree... :) For day-to-day purposes we just called her Ka'fell. And the worst: I once ran a one-shot where one of the players was named Bernard. A different player named her character Bernard. What a nightmare [I]that[/I] was! [/QUOTE]
