What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

[Orius]

But, one new guy to our gaming group wanted to play a kender paladin-thief based on Batman. WTF? Kender are pretty chaotic, paladins are limited to Lawful Good and can't multi-class in 2E. Plus, how can anybody read about kender (love 'em or hate 'em) and think Batman? Plus, in 2E, only humans could be paladins.

The DM nixed his suggestion, so this guy ended up playing a human paladin, named Bwayne (get it? Bruce Wayne... heh heh heh, so clever, eh? Needless to say, the guy only lasted that one weekend.)

This is one of the silliest character ideas I've seen in a while, but it's funny. Maybe it's based on Adam West Batman? Where do players come up with this stuff? Oh and don't forget, 2e thieves couldn't be LG either, so that's a totally illegal combination.

Was the player's name...Mearls?

(If you were replying to me)

No, it was a guy named Ilan, which kind of made his name stand out when I asked the couple about their gaming experiences.

The character in question couldn't be a paladin because he was neutral. However, by seventh level he was a...

A half-elf Barbarian 1/Ranger 1/Fighter 1/Cleric 1/Rogue 1/Bard 1/Sorcerer 1/Wizard 1...etc.

They were all within one or levels so the character didn't get the 20% exp. penalty...

Heh... yeah, one of the first pcs in 3e in my game ended up with about 7 classes in 7 levels- ranger/cleric/monk/contemplative/assassin/rogue or something?

The most multiclassing I've done on a single 3.X PC is 4, and I've done it twice.*. The first was a Ranger/Fighter/Diviner (SpecWiz)/Spellsword and a Sorc/Cleric/Geomancer/Mystic Theurge.







* Oddly enough, in the same campaign.

The Shadowrun character who killed every NPC we ever encountered. He would sneak back and shoot them later if they were a non-combat NPC.

He was actually shocked when his character was ambushed and killed. Nobody else was.
