[QUOTE="Dykstrav, post: 4312985, member: 40522"] I once played a wizard named Lekinvahr in a 3.0 Greyhawk campaign. Singularly the most fun magic-user type character that I've ever played. I avoided combat like the plague (having nine hit points at 3rd level and no armor does stuff like that). [I]Charm person[/I] combined with a few cantrips were the only spells he ever really cast. The DM once dropped me some wands because the party was complaining that we didn't have arcane firepower. What made Lekinvahr so amazingly fun to play was playing him as intelligently as he really was. He had an Int of 17 and Cha of 15, so he typically used social networking skills with careful planning to get away with damned near anything. He never paid for room and board or food and drinks, Lekinvahr was a bit of a womanizer and never had much trouble finding receptive company.
