Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 2234730" data-attributes="member: 63">Do you want a combat schtick, or a personality schtick?Combat - pick an exotic weapon that's not the broken spiked chain.  Not to toot my own horn, but <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/default.php?manufacturers_id=313&src=EnWorld" target="_blank">E.N. Publishing</a> has books devoted to the Whip, Two-Bladed Sword, and Hooked Hammer (and the chainmail bikini, if you're into that).Then combine that exotic weapon with a class you wouldn't normally expect to use it.  A sorcerer with a hooked hammer.  A druid with a whip (there's even a druidic whips & snakes-based prestige class).  A bard with a two-bladed sword.Alternately, be the combat trick guy.  Have lots of mobility, high AC and Con, and all the Improved Trip and Disarm-style feats.  You run around the battlefield creating openings for your allies. Personality - The fatalist.  You've traveled in a dozen other adventuring parties, and all of them have died.  Maybe you're cursed. Accent - A Scottish burr is always fun.  Or use Engrish to sound foreign.  Or bust out pseudo-fantasy Ebonics.  "Get thine fat ass facizzle up out of my hizzle."  Or maybe not.  Or take one of my characters.  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A halfling pacifist baker sorcerer who took a feat that makes people who eat his muffins get a penalty to their saves against his spells. His raven familiar is the one who delivers the killing blows.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bruce Willis from Die Hard, only a ranger/horizon walker. He fights with a bow, but he doesn't mind a nice hand to hand brawl.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A bookish girl with glasses and no boyfriend.  Cleric of the goddess of knowledge.  Took Power Attack, and always charges into combat power attacking for full, swinging a quarterstaff.  She panics when in danger, and just tries to kill things as quickly as possible with blunt trauma to the head.  None of her spells are offensive.</li> </ul></blockquote>
