[QUOTE="Mighty Veil, post: 2640908, member: 30559"] [b]Most retarded PCs[/b] 1. Druid characters who are radical enviormental-militants (I've seen too many). 2. An arch-mage played by someone who thinks he's *real* smart, just like his alter ego/PC. But in reality he's an idiot. Poor spell prep and when to use them. Ideas in combat always fail. 3. The thief PC who always steals from other PCs, and the player rubs it in the faces of the other players. 4. Most Mary-sue characters, especially if they're an NPC. 5. An annoying low wisdom knight character one player made once. The player cheated by taking advantage on a inexperienced DM, so his gear and stats were high. His horse mount was even stronger! He gave this guy high STR and CON but a low WIS. So he always said and did the dumbest things the player could think of. It was an annoying character on so many levels. But at least he died in his first adventure. 6. A Saurial sorceror. The player had a okay concept. A saurial saurial with a bunch of familiars who travelled in his alchemist wagon. But the player cheated with the PC. He took advantage of an inexperienced DM (same one as above). He didn't want to use the saurial or any lizardmen templates. Instead it was a human template with extra lizard abilities. He got to use spells the wrong way (unseen servant flew his wagon around). And his stats were cheat rolled ("I may have an extremely high CHA but my low STR makes up for it"). 7. PCs with cheat stats (The fighter is allowed to have over 18 STR and CON since he has a low CHA and the rest of his stats are 10 or 11). 8. The anti-social character. I suppose the above mentioned thief falls into this too. It's funny to me seeing players act surprise when their anti-social/anti-party PCs are killed off or abandon by the rest of the party. 9. Once me and a DM created on purpose the most stupid character we could think of, RETOAD THE RETARD! Basic D&D Magic-user with 3s in all stats, who could only cast ventriloquism . He was dumb so he only ventriloquism in a bad sounding cat meow ("Meow! Meow! Meow!). He actually made it to second level. We were impressed. 10. BATMAN By the same player who poorly played the "smart" Archmage. It was for Champions and the characters really needed to be... tough! But he spent too much in skills and talents, leaving a PC who had troubles defeating henchmen. What had started out as this player's attempt to play his favorite comic book hero turned into some PC who became a running joke. The GM even had the butler act as if this guy was nuts, ie. he's some jerk who thinks he's Batman. Come to think of it. This player had a hard time making workable PCs for Champion.
