[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7406912, member: 19675"] Another fun “suboptimal”: [B]Adragon Von Basten[/B] a Human Sorcerer (who was slated take a couple of Ftr levels, but the campaign died). He wore Scale Mail & Lg Shield, carries a Maul, and because of ASF penalties, was more likely to channel his spell energy through his Draconic Breath (lightning) than actually cast in combat. Even though his spell selection tended towards those without somatic components, they were also more useful outside of combat than within. The other players initially thought I was playing a Paladin or charismatic fighter when Adragon was initially described, but were utterly baffled when they found out he was essentially a PHB-standard Sorcerer (no variants were allowed). Then, in a combat in which cold dice were dooming the party, he made a tactical move to the left flank...breathed lightning and lit up the entire line of foes for 2d6 each, dropping most of them. The chorus of “Wait, [I]what?!?![/I]” and the doubletakes were truly rich. [/QUOTE]
