What is the best Schtick you've ever...

I had an NPC in Dark Sun who was a vegetarian. Of course, everyone assumed that meant that he was somehow less violent and murder-happy than the run of the mill cannibal halflings.

Wrong!

Eventually, he would attack and say something like "I'm not going to eat you--just kill you!" (and get a surprise round attack).

I used him in several games. The players always relaxed when they found out he was a vegetarian. Ah, good times.

Then you might dig this! Clutch, "When Vegans Attack":

Had a halfling druid. I got tired of my party treating our captured enemies too nice during interrogations, so there was an on the fly revamp of personality. Turns out, my halfling was VERY skilled at getting information out of people. Borderline evil, but he only did nasty things to the bad guys. Couple favorite moments: party captured a couple of raiders, who wouldn't talk about who sent them. They were talking to Baddie A. My character took over the conversation, and picked up the hand of Baddie B. While questioning Baddie A, I proceeded to explain in detail what my character was doing to the unconscious Baddie B - slowly pry his fingernails off, flay the skin off of fingers, etc. It was a shining moment, as I calmly continued to ask questions and describe what I was doing, listen to my entire group shout out in revulsion when I peeled the skin back. After we got the answers, my halfling went back to his room at the inn, and let the rest of the party deal with the guys we had captured. They let them go. Later, Baddie A re-appeared, and nearly killed our wizard. At the end of the fight, our fighter finally managed to bring the guy down, but only unconscious (they were once again trying to capture him for questioning). As the baddie and fighter lay in a heap on the ground, my character calmly walked over and delivered a coup de grace on the baddie. I don't know if I'll be able to keep on taking my group off guard like that
