[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1248681, member: 939"] It is all so ... subjective. Here are a few I've used, some aren't so hot: Boris - Fighter (Later became "Mighty Boris, Sofa Slayer") Altalazar - Wizard (These were my first two characters ever) The Mad Flame - An ordinary human fighter who preferred to use flasks of oil in combat. Francisco Tremontaine - A "merchant" who never claimed to be anything BUT a merchant - 2nd ed - psionicist - but really just thought of it as a quirky gift that aided him in his true profession - Merchant. He dealt in gems. He had a lot of class. Throughout his adventuring career he took every opportunity to advance his trade. He started with 2,000 gp in gems at 1st level (and a 3,000 gp note owed to the bank) and managed to turn that into over 200,000 gp by the end of the campaign at about 7th level - he even started taking gp from other players who wanted to invest in his business and made them a tidy profit as well. All of his abilities were focused on helping his business - teleportation type stuff to avoid having to take a long time to travel on his trade route - gem related stuff - telepathy to help with negotiations - etc. Ok, that is getting off topic... Elleweoyen - A wood elf - cleric/wildmage - who always went around naked, painted green. It was the crowning achievement of DM exhasperation that he finally ended up with a robe of the arch-magi because that was the ONLY way he'd not be naked all the time. (This ended farily high level). No one ever could pronounce his name properly. Horse - a warlock from 2E - not my character, I was DM. Strange character. Just Jesus - now THAT is a long story. [/QUOTE]
