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

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

Yeah, but with the standard warforged naming structure you'd be perfectly justified naming your cleric "Triage"... and who can say no to that?

The Barbarian Wizard: It's a wizard who's above-average in strength, slightly above average in intelligence, but when someone insults his magic skills, he freaks out, hulks out, and beats them near death with his staff. "Sucky mage?! SUCKY MAGE!?!?! AAAGH! SUCK ON THIS! *WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM!

This is one of my favorite bar - none. In one campaign the wizard was named Lasatheri and had a violent temper and was terribly impatient. He would rush into combat in his wizard robes intent on beating whatever it was that was frustrating him to death with his staff. And magic? One word: boom. You didn't want to be near him when he got angry - either b/c of the staff or his ... err ... explosive personality?

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

I'm playing a half-orc cleric that somehow ended up as the "damsel in distress". I kept rolling low on her fort saves so she ended up fainting a lot and being kidnapped by a vampire.

Half-Orc Barbarian

That is, one that is calm, quiet, intelligent, levelheaded and nonconfrontational. Avoids conflicts when he possibly can, and only kills when there is no other choice.

When he goes into a rage he doesn't lose his cool, he goes cold. No battlecry, doesn't say a word, just uses controlled, deliberate attacks that are frightening in their own right.

... in full plate that actually looks like full plate.

NOW you're playing against type.

 

[The Grackle]

a pompous, elitist, halfiling wizard. Total racist/hobbit-supremicist. Refers to humans as 'double-lings' and other M-sized creatures as 'over-sized.'
