Your first character

[ltclnlbrain]

Glim Thistlewhistle, gnome druid. Somehow his right hand got cut off and replaced by a construct of hardened sand that gave him magic powers over sand. In that same adventure, one of the other players somehow reached into a bag of tricks and pulled himself out of it.

 

[Ailil]

First edition. I was about ten years old. Geoff was his name. He was a ranger, and he had a beard and a dog. His first adventure ended unexpetedly in the belly of a giant gar.

First one

I rememeber was an elf-fighter who wore full plate (It was a long time ago).

He did OK, but the one I remeber best was Banon the behemoth, Slayer of Dragon and Demons. AD&D 2 Krynn Minotaur Fighter; stood 8' tall and wielded a two-handed sword

We used 4d6 roll 8 arrange in 7 stats (we used comliness); I rolled 2 18 (Str and Con of course) and pretty good for Dex.

He made it to 15th level; didn't die (well there was that once... but they brought him back) but I took a "hiatus" from DnD, mostly induced by moving.

He was a tough one, back then I think a 20 con got you regeneration, not to mention the double specialization in THS plus a +5 weapon...

[9lives]

A Nightblade from ICE's Rolemaster.

He happened across some nasty dice that made him sprout an extra leg and wings. He ended up somewhere in the bottom of my old PC pile.

Ignoring non-PC games?

Well, the first character I made was Amnessa 'Red' Jassipta, a halfling rogue with a penchant for scourging the cruel, making some cash, and then giving it all away to small starving children.

Less awesome is the minor detail that I don't recall her connecting on a sneak attack yet. Luck of the dice, yes, but still, it's mildly bothersome. She missed a giant in yesterday's game. An unarmored giant. Missed so badly, in fact, that the giant whirled around and would have pounded her into a meaty paste except for the fighter's staggering amounts of damage.

Ah, well. Fun times nonetheless. (Hi, DM!)

 

[The Human Target]

Thokk Itoomee (say it out loud) a Half-Orc fighter that i played when the 3.0 PHB came out. I did my best roleplaying that night, cause i didnt know my group didnt roleplay much. He beat lotsa stuff up and got some purple scale armor.

 

[Commonblade]

Sean Commonblade, Fighter, made it to 13th level. Died once. Master of stabilizing on -9

 

[VirgilCaine]

A half-orc Wizard with 16 Int and 16 Str.

 

[el-remmen]

Quasar the elf.

He had a wand of paralyzation.

I thought I should be able to cast spells and use a sword, but the DM declared "no multi-classing!"

That is how I figured out the difference between the Basic Set and AD&D.

 

[JoeCrow]

Basic set, '82. Halfling, rolled up with straight 3d6 x 6 for stats. Tooled by kobolds, 2 rooms in.

1st longterm character, 1st edition thief, named Ta'aric. Eventually ripped off half the party and turned the other half against them, before ripping off the other half too and switching sides again. Got crushed by a falling block of stone, then snuck out of hell and came back to rip off the party again. I think he eventually got toasted by a dragon. That was a fun campaign.
