I got a couple...
I once played an Elven Psychic Warrior/Weapon Master who mastered the bastard sword..he was a very sheltered young elf living on a dead world with only a baelnorn (elven lich) as a master...(his entire family/clan) had been slaughtered by gem dragons. This was actually in a Dragonstar game....my character was the only one who didn't fight with firearms...he once ran up the leg of a orc piloted mech and sliced up the wiring/servos and disabled it with his sword....he managed to survive as a master swordsman in a firearm dominated compaign simply because his determination and focus.....he never really learned to use technology either because he wasn't able to comprehend it at all...
next up was my Blind Githzerai Monk...he wasn't a powerhouse by any means...I ran him along with a friend's half-orc monk in his brother's campaign...the half-orc was the student of my character and was the powerhouse of the team...my gith was very dextrous and more of a master strategist...and played the role of the peaxemaker and anchor point of the party (which also included and elven fighter/cleric, a feral dwarf barbarian berzerker, an imp sorcerer,a halfling barbarian. elven sorcerer, and a pixie rogue)....my gith was the one that convinced the party to spare the life of the imp sorc when the group found out what he really was (even though he was an evil imp)..basically the imp hadn't done anything to harm us..he had in fact fought along side us...so until there is justification he should not be harmed.....he also ended up apologizing to the planetar we met because the imp started talking his evil smack..
He was fun character to play... he was a master of the Freezing the Lifeblood feat (paraylzing creatures)..and used it more than once to keeop the peace in the group (paraylzed his own student once to keep him from throttling the elf sorc...and paralyzed the feral dwarf once when he was in a nasty frenzied rage with no enemies around..and several rounds of slaughter in em.)
Then there was my awakend Squirrel Sorcerer who's magic missile spell took the form of blue acorns shot from his tail...that was in a campaign where all PC's were awakened animals...there were also 2 apes and a cat in the party..
my favorite however...would have to be Poe Poe the wonder goblin and his stick of Much hurt...oh yes a simple goblin with a broken table leg wailing on a stone door to open it!

Oh god, that reminds me of one really bad adventure I was part of. Part of 5 jumps on some goblins.. killing all but one. the one remaining one has a 'big wacky stick' (club -1 or something to that effect), and proceded to kill everyone in the party except my thief (2E). Even the paladin in plate mail got taken down by this poorly armed, otherwise standard 2nd edition goblin.cybernetic said:

G'day
1. Edmund Bluelights, a paladin who hated violence (but would do it if he had to), and who tried to make his living as a physician (unsuccessfully).
2. A drow bard who uses a Hat of Disguise to maintain several different false identities, and who works as an intelligence agent rather than a busker.

He couldn't lay on hands all that often at first level, nor even at third. And besides: I didn't say that he couldn't heal people. I said he couldn't make a living at it.
His problems were:
1. He was too honest and modest to cut the mustard as a faith healer.
2. He was too young to convince people that he was a learned doctor, besides which he was a member of the despised Saxon race.
3. He used suspicious foreign medical techniques that he had learned in Spain, from Saracens and Jews.
4. His wife was jewish, and therefore believed to be a witch or worse. He also associated with other unsavory sorts: eg. foreigners, outcasts, and tax-collectors.
5. Some of the things he did scared people. Like the way his eyes seemed to glow when he talked about God.
6. The local monks (not Monks) didn't like the way he talked about God, and circulated rumours impugning his orthodoxy.
7. His really sick patients, the ones who ought to have been good for several fees a day until they died, got better after one visit.
