I was in a group that talked constantly; they would never shut up, so I created a character that would not (or could not from their perspective) talk. During the sessions I would never say a word, used gestures only. One time we were on a castle walk-way and the DM passed me a note that said "a large red dragon raises its head above your party and you are the only one who sees it." As the dragon was getting ready to bite at the party my character finally spoke one word "duck". Amasingly the entire party dove to the stone as I rushed the dragon with my two handed sword (we were using a critical system and I actually injured it enough that it left). The DM was stunned that everyone did what I said without question or argument and asked them why they did it. One character answered for them all "Well, I was stunned for a second but since he had never spoken before and chose to at that time I figure it had to be important." That character never spoke again, except to NPCs away from the party, and the campaign ended when he was only at a single digit level, but I  will never forget the look on the DMs face when everyone at the table acted like they were "hitting the deck."</p></blockquote><p></p>
