Your favorite reverse-cliche character type (or other game element)?

[InVinoVeritas]

Let's see...

I've got a dumb-as-rocks cleric (but a nice guy, not a bigot) right now.

I've played a hayseed conjurer, before.

In one campaign I ran, the group's moral compass turned out to be a fighter, instead of the group's cleric (who was kinda curmudgeonly). Incidentally, the fighter was a boozing ladies' man who regularly lost all his treasure at the gambling tables. But he somehow kept the team on the up-and-up.

Oh, yeah, and:


Half-Celestial Gelatinous Cube with Cleric levels.

::Repressed memory suddenly comes unlocked::

You know, I walked in on a game my younger brother was running about a year ago while looking for something. I never did get the whole story, but from what I overheard, one of the NPCs was a talking Eeyore-esque Gelatinous Cube that trudged behind the party bemoaning and complaining about everything… Oh, yeah, and it was some kind of spellcaster (though not a Cleric, I don’t think.)

Man, that was odd. I’d forgotten all about that. I think I’ll give that crazy snot a call tonight to see if he can remember what in the heck all that was about. Otherwise, I’ll be up all night with a head full of wrong and disturbed thoughts…

I once created a Halfling Paladin for the hell of it

He was a total optimist, nothing could get him down. Everyday was a new day and we do need rain anyway.

I baked cookies for everyone!

Why yes that is a great axe you have, that's why I sharpened it for you!



(15 minutes with this guy and you will be begging for that self rightous Paladin to return.)

Oh, yeah, and:


Half-Celestial Gelatinous Cube with Cleric levels.


Mmm mm good.

What was his name -- "Angel Fude?"

The Barbarian Poltroon

I once played a rogue/barbarian who was also a complete coward.

He would avoid fighting at all cost, using evasion and running and hiding from combat (although he woukld use sneak attack when the opportunity arose) and if cornered would flip out and rage!!!! I even went about designing an entirely new class for him (the Poltroon) who got to boost his AC at the cost of BAb

 

[Eli-kun]

The Meek Half Orc

The Huggable Half Orc

The Refined Half Orc

The Acrobatic Dwarf

 

[Driddle]

A gnome who didn't tell jokes. He was blunt and unfazeable. Deadly serious. Never cracked a smile and often stared down anyone who tried to chuckle through a pun or cornball punchline.

... OK, some of that was me. I was told afterward it was mildly disconcerting.

 

[Jacob the Impaler]

I don't know if it reverses any cliches, but I have a foul-mouthed, hard-drinking chaotic neutral half-orc cleric of Farlahngan who vandalizes any other temples he comes across.

I'll say! Whoever heard of a half-orc cleric?

 

[Dracorat]

Personally, I'd say that makes more sense than a Warforged Cleric.
