[QUOTE="Dalprin, post: 2621116, member: 34756"] Sounds like it was a fun campaign. :) Another asinine character in a game I played in was a cleric inquisitor who went into every combat armed with... wait for it ... a pillow. The player felt he had to prove his stoutness by using such a useless weapon. A mace was seen as cheating and unmanly. Funny thing, the player soon left the game when his cleric got beat up in every combat. I am guilty of playing a useless character. "Bugh the Gully Dwarf Shaman" in a DragonLance campaign. His holy relic was a broom he found in a closet. Bugh had no cleric spells at all. As a gully dwarf shaman he believed he did, which led to all sort of interesting situations. The other characters were never sure if he had spells or not. Bugh was also a complete coward who would either flee or grovel at every combat. He also could only count to two. Fun character but a pain in the butt for the other players, I'm afraid. :heh: [/QUOTE]
