[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 7011395, member: 12249"] Well, most of my gonzo concepts are for NPC's really. One I had was back in 2nd addition when the Blood War was carried on the Devil's side by 8 great pit fiends. I was wondering what they might look like, and then it hit me we have like Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Rogue, Fighter, Wizard, Sorceror, Monk, Evil Paladin, so I'd just add 20 levels of the respective class on top of a Pit Fiend, which would make them pretty rocking badass, especially if they ever felt the need to actually operate as a party. The Gonzo one was going to be the Bard. I had envisioned something like the Warhammer 40k Noise Marines of Nurgle. Giant pit fiend, axe guitar, some fantastic version of Amps strapped to his back. As I said, Gonzo. If you weren't already halfway there before I mentioned it, you're probably unlikely to ever get there :) Also I wanted a PC(Paladin probably) who was by declared alignment and intent and deed Lawful Good, but his inherent nature was violently Chaotic Evil. Basically a bad seed as a child, raised by someone who tried to correct his nature. The PC is acts pathologically to do good and stick to the rules, because he's really repressing an evil nature, sorta like Dexter but without actually committing evil when he can get away with it, but constantly waging that inner battle. And last and probably least, Fancy the Gnome Bard! Generously ripping off a notorious player in the online game Everquest, with a good dose of Tasslehoff Burrfoot thrown in, I made this character in no small part because a good friend of mine has always loathed both gnomes and bards. This was 4th ed, and he was actually pretty damn effective, enough so that my friend grew to like him a bit, after a few sessions of teeth gnashing frustration with me :) [/QUOTE]
