Strange characters

[Quasqueton]

What is the strangest character *you* have ever played? I'm talking about game-mechanics (race, class, templates, etc.), not role play (psycho, anti-social, king, etc.) strange.

And what is the strangest character you, personally, have ever *seen* played? Something played "seriously" -- not a one shot screwing around kind of deal. And not something heard second hand.

[Crothian]

ooze gensai, cleric with slime domain, oozemaster

 

[Tinner]

Telepathic Senient Brine Shrimp (aka Sea Monkey) armed with a Particle Projection Cannon ... a very tiny PPC.
He had a personality almost identical to Stewie from Family Guy (years before Family Guy debuted).
Granted, this was for an Over/On the Edge game, where such things are expected, but even for OtE this was excessive.

I know someone who was going to play a vegepygmy in our 2E game if the campaign had not come to an end.

 

[iwatt]

dwarf paladin....

what can I say, haven't played that many 3.E campaigns yet

 

[ElvishBard]

My strangest character that I have ever played would be a multiclassed fighter/sorcerer who was going to be an eldritch knight. Much like Iwatt, I havn't played much either .

I always get stuck DMing, and am rather strict with what the players can be so that we all understand what they can do.

 

[Henry]

Very little, actually. The weirdest thing I've seen are half-dragons and Celestials. I've seen a Gold Dragon Monk before, and a Half-Celestial Paladin, and beyond that, most DM's in my group won't allow something just plain weird.

Actually I've been playing for a long time (+13 years). It's just that: (1) the campaigns I'm in as a player tend to be long affairs, (2) in 2E we never even went into using differnet class/races (only had the core books and seemed good enough back then) and (3) I'm still not done with the traditional archetypes I want to play.

 

[AmaraTrapspringer]

My Namesake Amara Trapspringer-Dart, Halfling, Rogue.
But for the longest time she was cursed and changed into a dwarf, who then was gifted with a child, by Moradin, and gave birth to a Paragon, who was to lead the dwarven clans.
And finally transformed back into a halfling, and through all that she was able to maintain her relationship with a male halfling Joman Dart. Thus towards the end of her, and her companions quest against the ToEE, she married Dart, and helped her companions defeat the Cult, and became a lvl 19 Rogue/Lvl 1 Angel of Vengeance.
