Worst character?

[333 Dave]

Hmm... worst character ever... well, I can think of several bad names... like Bee O'Problem and The Glibbering Idiot (Strikes Again!). Two different players BTW.
Worst character however would have to be... Orinlu. He was a werewolf fighter with a big problem with everything. Fighting an air elemental flying 10ft above him "I swipe it with my sword!" when I tell him he can't reach he replies "Well I can jump!". Later at the gate to a city the guard stops the party tells them that there's a weapons tax and they can't carry weapons without paying the 500gp tax. Now this werewolf has over 2000gp to spare, a glove of storing, and only one weapon, and the player knew about the weapon tax before hand. He could have EASILY hidden his one obvious weapon and went in without paying. instead he shifts into his hybrid form and attacks the guard! Ugh. He attacked everything and I'm serious. "But I'm roleplaying the characters bloodlust!" Ugh. That player sucks. He killed someone for calling his character (who had gold eyes and bluish silver hair) a freak, then the rest of the people in the tavern because he couldn't leave any witnesses. Of course the other players just helped slaughter a barfull of innocents, but thats another rant.

As someone else pointed out, all of these bad characters were the children of bad players.

I played a bad character in the last campaign, but that was all a mistake. Bunch of 9th and 10th level characters. I asked what they needed, the GM told me. He was wrong.

I played a Bard 3 / Transmuter 6. Only to find that I am seriously overmatched in any combat (and thus spend most of it running away and hiding, rather than helping out) and all my buffing spells are wasted on people who have their own buffing spells and devices. After casting two useful spells (Magic Missile and Dispel Magic) in our final combat for that campaign, I spent the rest of the very long combat flying back and forth over the roof-tops trying to stay away from the bad guys. I missed every shot I took (with his bow) and wasted some spells when the targets vanished.

Ended up getting killed by Evard's Black Tentacles. Somehow ALL of them hit. Scratch one PC.

Of course, that combat could have been the result of a Luck Vampire. The guy next to me, playing a Halfling Cleric/Rogue, made every single save (a whole lot of them), hit nearly every attack, and was never hit by the bad guys. He came out of it at full hit points. Simply Amazing Luck.
