Worst character possible

[Ath'kethin]

Play a spoiled brat wizard who has a really short temper, with Intelligence as your dump stat and both Wisdom and Charisma really low. You are of noble birth and were trained as a wizard as expected of one coming from your class and station.

Make sure you learn spells that require saving throws, since your DC will be terrible, but pride yourself on "warping the minds and bodies of lesser beings." Blame everyone but yourself when something goes wrong.

Also, get into regular fisticuffs with enemies (see really short temper, above).

Hmm. So Draco Malfoy as a D&D character, really. But incompetent, too.

- Zaphod Beeblebrox

An Artificer who works for the Sirius Manufacturing Co that MAKES all that "perfectly tuned" (in theory; "horribly malfunctioning" in practice) equipment.

An awakened shrub who drives around in a little pot with six wheels!

Spoiler

About 3/4 of the way through the adventure it turns out you were created by the Big Bad and he mind-controls you to become his minion!

Go borrow a WH40K general or other leader from one of the local Warhammer players, with his BFS (big f'ing sword), giant shoulder pads, big stompy power armor boots and Gothic-cathedral-fencing standard on his back...

Stat it up as a Paladin of Conquest named Grimdark Hereticbane, and play him completely straight as a Space Marine who's so fanatically self-absorbed that he doesn't even realize he's in the wrong universe...

His Bond, Flaw, etc., all amount to either "BURN THE HERETICS!" or "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!", and gods help anyone who actually questions which Emperor he's talking about...

When he finally realizes that nobody knows about the Emperor (Heresy!), he'll conclude that he's been given the Holy Quest and High Honor of bringing the Emperor's Glory to this new world, and assume (whether it's true or not) that the rest of the party is there to help him achieve that goal...

We did some thing like this in 2e. We ended up with:

- A half mad half elf Bard who had been trapped in a magic mirror for decades, constantly sang love songs, and fell in love with every woman he saw.
- A snivelling thief who was also a pyromaniac and only signed on to get out of jail time.
- A knife-wielding maniac with shape shifting powers as his father had been a were rat.
- A lazy noble with a massive hammer who lacked the charm and common sense to be a paladin.
- A half-elf (drow) amnesiac who was actually an altered clone of Eclavdra.
- An incredibly ancient wizard who had been a monk in his youth with lower strength than his weasel familiar.
- A Tiger Nomad illusionist. Nothing wrong with him apart. From being an illusionist in 2e...

Is a 'half mad' half-elf only 1 quarter mad? Sorry I got confused....[emoji6]

A long time ago I was playing in a Hero System game (5th edition I think) and that system allowed you, in theory, to make any character.

So I thought about making Dr Tran (look it up on YouTube! https://youtu.be/FO0kRE5OTZI )

He's a 5 year old boy that the entire universe believes is a super spy. In Hero you can have a power called luck. And you can take the power several times. So this character would dump all his point into luck. So he solves problems by merely being present. Everyone admires him for his dashing exploits, but he's completely baffled.
