Young (PF template) Tibbit Wu Jen. I had given him ocular spells for ultimate lazor kitteh lolz. But, being one of the stronger players in the group, the DM was a little afraid of how I would deal with being a Caster (I usually play... well basically everything else.) Now instead of becoming an extremely powerful caster - or using spells at all for that matter - I simply focused on the RPing aspect of being a kitten

. I even got my own special skill called "adorableness" that I gained ranks in according to the amount of RP done, and I could use the skill in case diplomacy, bluff, or intimidation failed

. Fun game.

Explanation

The campaign is on a homebrew world where, 800 years ago, the gods (think like Norse gods) fought a war with humanity (somewhere between traditional fantasy and Tippyverse). Humanity won, but in the process caused a cataclysm that completely wrecked the world. The known world is pretty much desert, with the stronger fortifications from The God War still standing and mostly serving as easy spots for towns. The world has a lot of magic, but it is fairly weak. Recorded history starts about 700 years ago, with the God War being just legends.
Also, the sun moves in a circle around the sky and then sets where it rose (a quirk caused by the ridiculous amount of planar binding magic going on during the God War -- it locked the planet and sun in place and the planet rotates in 2 perpendicular directions).

Anyway, my player's character concept is that he is the former god of conflict and debauchery, who decided it would be better for him to not be a god anymore and gave up his powers, which locked him in a stasis until about 30 years ago. He doesn't age, but also doesn't remember a whole lot, mostly mixing memories from the stories of people he has met in with his own.
HOWEVER, he has been a wandering bard for 30 years now, and knows a whole lot of people. This has created a lot of different roleplaying opportunities as he has a ton of contacts in major cities, etc. His whole goal is to watch conflict and chaos as it unfolds, and in any case just wants to have a good time. All in all, he is very charismatic and has history with many people, mostly involving parties.

I WOULD have used the Illithid Savant PrC pic for this, but I noticed the empty skull, and all that, and decided to play it safe.

I saw this the other day and decided to find out exactly what fullplate weighs for such a small creature, only to find out that not only are there no rules for armor smaller than tiny and weapons that are not small medium or large, but D&D pixies are enormous. They're small sized and 2.5 feet tall. That's almost the size of a halfling!

That doesn't seem right at all.

Not entirely true. Smaller than tiny you simply use the tiny figures, and divide the armor bonus by 2. There's also a chart in the SRD regarding weapons of different sizes. I'm not sure if it's in the PHB or the DMG if you use Dead Tree format, though.

There's a table that gives damage outputs, but not weight.

I believe it's stated somewhere that you just keep halving/doubling the weight. Could be wrong, though.

Homebrew world, homebrew rules. Enter Hörthur the viking.

I was playing a nice guy who happened to be a viking, and who I thought was built to use whatever equipment suited the situation (shield, sword, axe, dualwield, armor, no armor....). The problem was he couldn't do it all at once, or any of it well.
The DM thought I was making a brute that screams and rushes at the enemies with an axe, just like all the other vikings. Incidentally, he thought the character would also die 5 minutes into this Japanese campaign because he can't dodge any arrows.
What he ended up as (after a rebuild, and as the rules kept changing) is ridiculous.
He shield-bashed a dragon to death - but he would have died to a single breath attack. He makes manly shouts that scatter enemies away from him - but he can't hit them. He is so agile he is safer without wearing a helmet, or torso armor, or groin/upper leg armor - but he only learned to jump a few sessions ago, since it's linked to a skill he didn't have. There was even the scene where a guy is kicked (speared, in this case) hundreds of meters down - unfortunately, Hörthur was the one falling. He survived, with the equivalent of D&D's -9 hp, floating in the water on top of his wooden shield.

This character is for another party member. He's playing an elven paladin now. Previous campaign he played a half-elf fighter, and this Made/Saw/Play picture would be exactly the same.

Explanation: This was a Forum Emblem game, but it still applies. My character was originally going to be a nerdy, socially awkward swordsman who's out for revenge against the guy/s who killed his father. there was a houserule that anyone who got Ko'd and would automatically level up to within 5 levels of the average party level if they were not so already. So, upon being recruited, I sent him after the boss. He was essentially a level -10 unit at that point, vs a level 10 Character. He got offed by one of the mooks, but hey, those level-ups were awesome.

When it came to actually interacting with the party, I'm not entirely sure what happened, but he just became an uber troll.

This one time, in star wars. (started RCR, we switched to SAGA halfway through) I made this scoundrel computer slicer with a background in espionage, she carried a tiny holdout blaster, a skewed moral compass and a give-em-hell attitude.

The GM eventually needed to pass the buck of 'chosen one' onto a PC that showed up more reliably than his first choice, enter force sensitivity and a surprise twist involving her origin.

Basically, this is what happened.

Assuming the "turn evil" part was not originally part of the plan/plot, I feel kind of sorry for your GM.

**Aasimar** · 2012-04-09, 05:57 AM (ISO 8601)

Well, she never went completely whole-hog evil in-game, mostly because the stakes were 'if we don't keep working together, the galaxy will be destroyed'.

She did go whole hog-evil in her post-game story, only to return to a semblance of anti-heroism in a new campaign where she was the npc mother of my new PC, who incidentally turned out to be a much more appropriate 'chosen one'. (I swear we weren't just ripping off the movies switching only the sexes of the characters :-P )

Human Duskblade with a good Charisma score, built largely because I'd just started reading Michael Moorcock's Elric saga and wanted to model Elric. The DM sees a basic gish build. In play, he turns out to be vain, preening, and skirt-chasing, with a battle-cry of "not in the face!"

WoD campaing I'm in right now:

What I made:
A writer who found strong connections between British govenment and the occult and had his reputation destroyed by higher ups. Also, a junkie.

What the GM saw:
Depressed and desperate man trying to rebuild his reputation, broken over being left by his wife and struggling with addiction.

What I play:
This guy.

If you're talking about Spider Jerusalem as the URL says though... sounds amazing. Amazingly terrifying for the NPCs, and by extension, the GM.

I was playing a 4th level Good-aligned necromancer/magical doctor in a 3.5 game. He, along with the party barbarian, were the only two voices of reason, sanity, morality and ethics in a gang of morons and mad men led by a sociopathic fighter rogue. Think of Jayne Cobb with Blackadder's ruthless cunning. Hence the image posted.
