What's the most unusual D&D character you've ever created and been allowed to play? (Mine's a troll paladin, btw.)

Two that tie:

Gaershir, the half-elf half-orc that was chaotic stupid. Barbarian. He liked to eat chalk.

I also had a Cleric of Cleese, who somehow got a hold of the full run of Monty Python and it warped his mind. He could do anything they could do, but had to use their logic.

Otherwise, my characters are usually pretty serious. I did once play a grandmother who used to be a trained assassin... apparently I did very well at it, too. Who knew a twenty-five year old guy could do that?

I had a lawful good paladin with a strength of 18 and intelligence of 3. I was like, EAT. SLEEP. KILL EVIL THINGS.

He was so retarded though, that he was genuinely good, aside from not knowing what cremation urns were and kicking them to see what would happen. Pretty damn unpaladin thing to do inside a crypt, ha ha. Then I found this crown and put it on, and what it did was reduce my intelligence by three points. He couldn't even walk anymore, and that was pretty much the end of my character since we never found a way to remove the crown.

Still before that, I so wasted undead things. :) At one point of the game, I couldn't even defend a town against invading fire snake demon things, because apparently my character couldn't comprehend the concept of sacrifice and goodwill. XD
(I wanted to leave my party and help the townsfolk, but the party dragged me off. )

Not really unusual, but fun to play, heh.

I have a chaotic neutral human wizard who is a paranoid schizophrenic. Wierds the party out when he's talking to things that aren't there.

Chaotic Neutral FMU or FCl. Emphasis on the Chaotic Neutral, which allows incredible ability to join any party or cause. Once, we were staying in a town hotel and the townspeople started burning the hotel because we used a little magic to heal someone, and they called us witches. They burned our hotel. I slipped out the back and started fires all over town. Then I robbed the town bank while they were fighting the fires. Stupid townspeople. My party, which had alot of good characters, wasn't keen on me starting fires and robbing the bank, but I told them that the townspeople started it, and had it coming to them. The reasoning was strong, and their alignments began to waver.

Another time I convinced the party that it made sense for me to animate dead on one of our fallen party members rather than have two party members carrying his body. Then, we ran into some traps, so I convinced them that the zombie former party member would be a good scout for traps, since he was already dead. The party members' alignments took severe hits after that adventure.

most unusual? i guess the one that leaves his moms basement and is able to get laid...

A half-fiend ranger named Rath. He was chaotic good and would go out of his way to hunt down evil monsters. However, his fiendish nature forced him to sleepwalk and mercilessly dispatch every chicken or related fowl in the vicinity of wherever the party was staying the night. As a consequence, my group was run out of several towns while we looked for a cure.
Just as we found one, the vengeance of all the townspeople we'd wronged thus far and been unable to compensate (I mean, there's only so much you can pay each night before the purse empties) came in the form of a giant chicken (hen, not a rooster) with the base statistics of a young red dragon sans the fire abilities.
I was doing quite well until the DM rolled 2 natural 20s for a critical set and the chicken bit my head off in one clean motion.

The rest of the party fled for their lives, but the bard penned a brief sonnet for me, so I guess it was okay.

After that....probably a perpetually PMSing gnome bard with a sailor's mouth and a penchant for smacking people with her lute when she was annoyed. Chaotic neutral.

Good stuff.

Recently I played a half-orc barbarian that thought he was a full elf. He thought this because the rest of the party was elven. I ended up killing everyone who called me an orc or even mentioned anything bad about me. I ended up getting killed by the royal guard at level 5 because the king called me a smelly bastard orc and spat on me so I hit him with my great axe and killed him. My party survived and I had to rejoin the group as a different character. XD. Yea it was fun.

My favourite (and weirdest) was inspired from the Wizards of the Coast message boards. It was a Mind Switched sandwich, with the ability to fly, hear, see and feel. It was also a 20th level psion, so I could use all my powers still. It was also very effective at sitting in on conversations, who would suspect the sandwich?

Halfling berserker w/ an alignment of chaotic insane

A halfling druid that never used magic and had a 2 foot pole to boot. I wanted the 10 foot pole but they said no...

I played a bone demon, class monk lol

Our campaigns never allowed silly characters, only believable characters doing silly things.

I had a human cleric of great wisdom and barely the brains to use it with. He had Wis 18 and Int 6; the minimum to be able to (barely) read the Holy Scriptures of his faith. I wanted to be dumber but the DM insisted on Int 6.

And what happens when a 3rd level Cleric encounters an Ancient Red Dragon? (Rolls wisdom....) RUN!!!! He was dumb, but not stupid.

Avariel Berserker-Warmage
Deep Draconic-Drow Spellblade
Elven-Tiefling Ranger-Bard
Vampire Katta Bladedancer

Many more that I can't think of off the top of my head...and yes, I've played them all.

A true-neutral high elven mage from Silvanesti, I think. It was years ago.

CN Half-Elf Monk 1/ Sorcerer 4/ Enlightened Fist 10/ Initiate of Draconic Mysteries 8/ Warhulk 7. Yes, this was an epic campaign.

Before I explain this... Freud has no idea what he was talking about.

... I was once in a game that involved in a campaign that involved a cult of Lady Velanthria... in said cult, the group happened across a poor victim being sodamized to death by a grey render (see attached picture).

A while later, I decided to make a rogue... The game was with a few other munchkins, so I decided a pixie rogue (permanent invisibility and all)... pixie rogues are fairly intuitive... but this one was particularly cruel... as he was also a follower of Lady Velanthria. His name was "Contagious Pete" ... and... guess what his weapon was?

I'll leave it to your imagination... but, I'll tell you... that was the worst "SNEAK ATTACK!!!" ever.

I play as a 15 year old neutral good half vampire half human who became one due to the fact that his stepfather killed his mother and tried to turn him but he refused to drink human blood because he belives that human life is preacius so he becam a neutral good vampire it was really odd

I have had many weird characters. When we play in bigger groups I like to break the insanity of the power mongers to be some weakling in distress :)

A 6 year old rogue (Boo)
A vampire fairy (Tinkerhell)
A girly girl Mourde Messenger (Happy Brightside)
A thief that didn't steal, but rather would give up their items (Rona, I think)
2 Barbarian elves (Dumaz Matherfocker and Moeron Stoopidaz

A chaotic neutral orkish barbarian, male. I recited poetry and played the panpipes, the lute, and a drum. I sang and danced. My favorite songs included Beer Beer Beer, Smash Those who Oppose us, and Ode to a lump of Clay I Found in my Belly Button one Midsummer Morning. It was great.

We have a half dwarf / half orc in our campaign

I have created a Half-orc Rogue in 3.5 ed DND. I have also played a Half-Ogre Barbarian. and the back ground story is that they are brothers. they had the same mother.

My husbands: Half celestial stone giant samurai, and a demonic kobold monk.

As for me, I had a human cleric that was basically a heal slave/turner who didn't like actually helping her party in any way and instead randomly plane shifted the whole party when she got bored.

Got a couple.

The Half-Orc paladin was a bit odd.
The Half-Ogre Martial Artist was interesting. Big, dumb, able to punch through nearly any wall.
The Drow Martial Artist/Iron Pugilist seemed kind of normal, but laughing off hits and then knocking the opponents head off with one brutal punch isn't exactly a normal drow style.
The Half-Elven Bard/Rogue/Swashbuckler started out nice and normal. Then an encounter with an ancient artifact turned him into an ice elemental.


How the heck did I forget the monkey ninja.

A chaotic neutral halfling weretouched master (wolf style). He had a Russian accent (like THICK Russian) and had a distinct fear of water. My friend gave me the idea for him, just because she's enough of a furry to be excited by the idea of an imaginary pocket size wolf man. -.-

I didn't create her this way, but I had a female elf warrior who had some unusual permanent effects on her.

She was battling an evil wizard who was experimenting with lycanthropy with giants. In the fight, I had a critical miss and the goo spilled on me. She immediately grew into a hill giant size, and the lycanthropy had a mild effect on me, making me a very hairy female, giant elf.

The GM was very clever in figuing out how the goo would effect me, and my stats were accomodated because of it. My STR went through the roof, but of course I had to get all new armor made, etc. I use a Maul of the Titans cause it's the only weapon that's big enough for me to use.

The downside... I can't fit into most dungeons, caves, pubs, etc. She's about 12 feet tall. So I am limited to outdoor quests. But it does make it interesting during fights!

Draconic-Drow: Chaotic Neutral who was not male or female named Sexy Cat-Runner.

A undead, alien, zombie god from an undead zombie god race. They are like the god race of the undead and are also zombies. I won't go into detail as to what they are exactly, but they're very wicked and extremely hard to destroy because they don't rot like regular zombies do as they're a race and they have natural godlike abilities and regeneration as well.

1)A young dragon that was the subject of a polymorph curse with his memory erased and taught to be a dragon slayer by an chaotic neutral high level wizard lol.
2) A half-orc with the lowest functional IQ that weilded a large wooden door and his battle cry was "Spoon"

Mine was a dwarven driud/master of many forms. At 15th level he was wild shaping into a gold half-dragon troll giant wereoctopus, giving him a Strength of 47, I believe, and 9 attacks a round.

When the Unearthed Arcana came out I created a Halfling Barbarian. I took advantage of the 19 Dexterity and had a VERY low AC wearing only leather armor and very good hit points. My offense was not good, but I could stay in combat a long time. I even created an origin for a Halfling Barbarian tribe.

half dragon minautaor monk drunken master

i made a half orc that was a barbarian/germophobe. dont know why but i think it was pretty darn funny running into a dungeon and holding a weapon in one hand and then a hanky on my face with the other scream get'em muffled up by the cloth :P

In a high powered game I once played a Psion/Uncarnate with levels in Thrallherd. Essentially 80% of the time he was a formless cloud of psionic energy floating above a traveling village made up of his entirely disposable thralls and minions.

They thought he was some sort of god, and a good number of non-enthralled people followed the village because of the lure of a visible, involved diety who was very close to his followers. Eventually a religion was founded and dedicated to him, and he became a recurring theme in later games where our party would see an odd traveling caravan of thousands slowly pass by, with a translucent cloud of energy floating overhead.

Not much unusual.. think the most silly was a dwarven defender (god I love that class ^^) who was deathly afraid of darkness and in general believed nothing of what people he didn't know said.. It did lead to some interesting situations on a few occasions, although the DM had to interfere on a few times because I'd been bickering for like 15 minutes with another party member about what way to go ><

A human fighter and my brothers vampire spawn and I baked a cake and spelled on it with blood spare me

MAN has it been a long time - The 70s to be more exact.

A Golden Dragon Magician. (Could change to and perform spells in human form.) I think I remember trying to hide the fact I was a dragon in the dungeons, but didn't worry so much about it in outside adventures.

And a Hobbit Thief (male). Was changed into Poseiden's daughter when she stood up in the crowd and said something, I shot her with an arrow, and she (of course) got Divine Intervention. Had to play HER for a few weekends!

Remember... This was back in the days shortly after the AD&D books came out. Our DM had had a world from the beginning of DND, and only took the parts of the new rules that he and a select few of his closest friends and assistant DMs liked.

I had a neutral Psionic Gnome. However, none of the party memebers knew he was a psion, they thought he was just some gnome that hung out with them, and had strange things happen around him all the time, like flying objects and voices, etc... It was fun to play

I played a Halfling swashbuckler, complete with cheesy French accent....

Hobgoblin Ur-priest was probably the most unusual, I played a half-dragon druid character in one campaign, and was surprised at how it wasn't as fun as I expected.

Lessee...
I had a mild mannered elven cleric once, who fell into a crypt and grabbed an intelligent fiend-slaying greatsword. I had to hold it constantly in combat and was dragged into battle against any enemy against my will (I did not have greatsword proficiency, mind you) and beat it to death...

I played Ugglukker, a half orc cleric who kept trying to convert people. The problem was that everyone HATED him. He eventually died by breaking oil vials while standing in a puddle and lighting everything on fire (since oil floats, it killed everybody).

There was Nossus, a half fire elemental cleric/wizard/mystic theurge who then got bitten by a vampire and tossed into the pits of the Nine Hells by a necromancer. Came back later and attacked the players. Good times...

Finally, Paco the one armed ranger. After one of my previous characters (a druid that nature hated -- he lost both feet in an alligator attack -- had to be carried everywhere) died, I decided to make a ranger, as I was in a treehugging phase. The DM said that I would "pay" for making a new character in the middle of the campaign, but I took no heed and made myself a archery-specialized ranger with a penchant for cooking. The players found me washed ashore with only one arm and several sharks chewing on something in the distance... So Paco found himself throwing arrows like darts because his bow didn't work with one hand. Stupid Paco.

A Psyonic warrior, cannibal. We lost a party member so we got to eat him. Got a 38 on the cooking roll. He was delicious.

Half Kender/half Halfling Multiclass, Rogue 4, Wizard 5, Fighter 4, Arcane Trickster 5, Spellsword (3) (these are aprroximate lvls as I don't have my sheet). Acts on impusle and constantly steals from his own party. Invisibility+Sneak attack+Spellstoring Shortsword=fun!

This is about as crazy as it gets for me, as other chars are mostly 1 class humans. Although I do remember a wizard having a Monkey-Bat (those things in Wizard of Oz)...

I made a Human Fighter named Jahelm. He was Chaotic Neutral and specialized in Shields. He used two-weapon fighting with Twin-Shields that had spikes attached. He wore full-plate and nothing could ever hit him. His AC was 28, which was a major piss-off to the DM. Jahelm was a street performer, so he earned the party a couple bucks outside of combat. In combat he would just run into the fray, attack the largest thing and just smash it because nothing could actually hit him.

I was also proud of my Dwarf Fighter named Addan. He was a neat-freak, so he was clean shaven and carried around soap and towels wherever he went. After each battle, he would take an hour to clean him and his equipment carefully. He would carry around a lace pillow, piano wire, and poisoned wine for assassinations and used a Large Greataxe, named Violet. He was another favourite.

I also, like a lot of others, had a Half-Orc paladin named Gathung. He was absolutely huge, hulking, and dangerous. He carried around an Orc Double Axe and a lance. He had an Intelligence score of 5, so he was completely retarded, but high Charisma because he was adorable about it. He'd do the most stupid things in the world, but he could always get out of it somehow. At one point, we had a midget Halfling in our party who was about 1' tall who rode around on Gathung's shoulders with a fishing pole that used piano wire as a line and had a rock on the end. He would fling the line around something's throat and then pull to damage it. The Halfling wore full-plate with spikes, so when we got into a bit of a pickle Gathung would pick him up and chuck him wherever he needed to be, including at enemies to do a rather... Significant amount of damage.


I've had some fun characters.

My friend (a guy) once made a female half-orc barbarian that ran around in a steel bra and "Daisy Duke" shorts. She made more money off of prostitution *shudders* than from any fighting she did. She ALWAYS had money. She was able to pay for our entire party to get new equipment at virtually every level. The sad part? Her clients were almost exclusively humans, elves and half-elves. And my friend had to role-play picking up clients! Thank God we didn't role-play sex scenes in our sessions. Ugh.

My character (same party) was a high elf (or whatever elves it is that are the upper nobility, I don't remember) druid 12/monk 8. Nothing spectacular about his race or his classes (other than the combo) but he hated elves and most spellcasters. He stayed in the company of fighters, barbarians and rogues. He made exceptions for one bard and and one sorcerer, whom he has known for ages. He also had a penchant for drinking wayyyyy too much. Once he and one of the barbarians, after killing the SAME necromancer for the fourth time (the bastard would not stay dead), decided to chop him up, start a fire with him and then throw the rest of him in a pot, turn him into a stew and eat him. Still came back to life....... He also kept the company of an elder red dragon from time to time. He had freed it from slavery and for whatever reason, the dragon took a shine to him. A funny combination considering he was CG and the dragon was CE.

Another friend (still same party) played a gnome sorcerer. Our entire party believed he was a god in disguise after he killed a balrog with one spell (he had a staff that allowed him to use phantasmal killer. we were only level 7 at the time). Shortly thereafter, there was an unfortunate accident that turned him to stone (the same accident that caused my previously mentioned elf to become completely hairless). We brought him back to life, but he was still made out of rock. So I guess he's technically a golem or something now. Still one hell of a sorcerer.

Overintelligent Quarter-Human/Quarter-Orc/Half-Dragon(...logically.) Barbarian/Bard/Dragon Disciple oversized-scythe-wielding mercenary author with hoarder tendencies.

...Spent most of his cash on Bags of Holding.

GromSHaK with a capitol G,S,H, and K is the most unusual character ive ever allowed in any of my campaigns GromSHaK is a freaking huge Half-orc that we did some ability score trade offs and made him stupid but stron and the funniest thing about GromSHaK is that he loves to trade rocks. he only knows five words of the common language and he will always be a memorable character.

A neutral good paladin/ psychic telepath who is controlled by his freindship crystal. He ended up losing his paladinhood when the crystal whanted his to have a relationship with a cute demones. He ended up sexually harrasing her by healing her in a private place delibratly. At the very end he psy-blasted the party when they were in hell and leaving them to be eaten by other imps. He comes back as an Npc.

Currently playing as two characters with a bizarre love/hate relationship. One is an Orc Rogue who's incredibly stupid, but oddly good at solving thinking puzzles with horrible violence. The other is a Dromite (small bug-man race) with severe brain damage and a curse rendering him unable to die outside of combat.

This couple tends to swap back and forth as to who's "Dominant" at the time, from the tiny bug bossing around and generally insulting the big, scary orc, to the jerk monster using this abused insect as a shield and frequently throwing it into anything that moves. They've got very odd, but amusing, synergy with each other. That Dromite has actually been dunked in acid repeatedly out of combat, lit on fire, dumped in molten metal, and punted into an enemy witch. Just recently he got an upgrade, making him a bit tougher than the orc, so now the dromite does all the talking while the orc tries as hard as he can to be quiet, polite, and follow orders. My gaming buddies seem to find it hilarious.

An awakened monitor lizard sorcerer/druid+geomancer, who thinks he is a newlyborn green dragon and acts like it?:P a warforged scout who is the first warforged in the world and who is seen as a mismake and is insanely anoying with qeustions and not getting the mood?:P

My Favorite and funniest one would have to be a Bardic Minotaur. Just the idea of this big hairy cow singing and doing stuff like that was just hilarious
