New Prestige Class: Cheese-eatin' Surrender Monkey

I created the PrC "Poltroon"

Poltroons are base cowards who are skilled at running away from the sticky situations they seem to find themselves in. A Poltroon can only use their class abilities when fighting defensively and otherwise trying to escape from combat.

A Poltroon gets negative BAb but in return the following abilities

Evasion
Uncanny Dodge
Defensive Roll
Singleminded - like Slippery mind a Poltroon is not easily compeled since he knows that running away is really what they want to do
Wisdom bonus to AC
Abundent Step (but must be away from any known danger)
Enhanced Mobility - +4 bonus to AC against AoO especially when moving away from an opponent
Desperate Parry - +1 Dodge bonus to AC when trying to escape
Distraction - can use Bluff to deny an opponents actions for one round
Give the Slip - Add Poltroon levels as a bonus against grapple/trip attempts
Expeditious Retreat

How about the Wile E. Coyote class?

The character's only ability is to tragically misuse magic items. He also can only use magic items that he special orders for prompt delivery from a mysterious supply company known only as ACME.

To his advantage, even the most extreme catastrophe never quite kills him!!!
 

Long ago in Dragon Magazine (going back to issue numbers in the sixties & sententies) there was a first edition character class called 'Duh Jock' who used Football & Hockey pads (armor), and used things like +5 Hockey Stick... etc.

Funny
