Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
30.) The Rogue Ogre. The Rogue-r. He mostly relies on sneaking (his blade into enemy faces) to avoid enemies and moving carefully and skillfully avoids traps (read: blunders through traps heedlessly, not worried of the consequences). His sword is named Lockpick, and whenever he encounters a locked door he uses his Lockpick to open the door. Also, he roleplays like a traditional Rogue of medium size - thinks he can't intimidate well, assumes many opponents to be his equal, despite outclassing them quite well, truly attempts to Hide and use Disguises.
Character says: "Grog sneak into tower window and take important letter from desk."
Actual results: as Grog attempts to climb the tower, he instead starts pulling the tower down from the bottom - driving it into the earth with his monstrous strength. Upon reaching the "top," he sneaks in through the window (leaving a Kool-Aid Man style hole in the wall) and grabs the entire desk, strapping it to his back. As he leaps out the "window" he prepares to Jump and to use his Tumble skills to handle the fall from the "top of the tower" that he expects. Upon landing on his feet and taking no damage, Grog knows that he is definitely very sneaky and acrobatic.Last edited by Denver; 2014-11-07 at 11:18 PM.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
37: Someone of any race, really, but with a flaw or something that they've only been alive (or only remember stuff) from the past few days. Would probably have to to take one of the more intuitive classes, or refluff one of the others, but it would be very interesting from a role play perspective.
38: Someone of any race and build, who is dying of something or other that can't be avoided (or maybe it can?) and who can't expect to live beyond the next couple weeks/months (based on the speed the campaign is running at). More role playing fun!Last edited by Phelix-Mu; 2014-11-08 at 01:36 AM.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
I've heard a story about somebody who once played a Warforged who was literally born the day prior to the beginning of the campaign and had trouble grasping concepts such as identifying people's genders by their appearance.
I fail to see how assuming people's genders on sight would actually be very beneficial in this world anyway.Last edited by HolyCouncilMagi; 2014-11-08 at 03:11 AM.
Only when one becomes the juncture of a meeting of two forces can one begin to understand either...

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
40) A character who is possessed by the spirit of a family member who was a powerful caster. Usually, the spirit lies dormant until something triggers it to briefly awaken and unleash its power before retreating back into dormancy. Best if it leaves the character with a lapse in memory of the events.
Party: "Uh dude, not that we aren't grateful and all, but when did you learn how to make the enemy army rip out their own kidneys through their noses?"
Character: "Huh...what are you talking about? Where are we? Why is their a pile of Orc kidneys over there?"

41: A goliath who uses drunken master to apply his fist damage to thrown bottles, tankards, rocks, etc. Bonus points if you use vow of poverty or convince the DM that kensai applies to the thrown recyclables.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
We joke, but im sure this is somehow viable.
42. Goblin Frenzied Berserker. He wields the biggest weapon he can get his hands on and charges into battle screaming "YOU FORGOT TO PROTECT YOUR KNEE CAPS!!!" But he only Frenzies when someone hits him......hard, and when they do he slowly turns his head back to them and gets this really blank creepy look on his face, and totally flips his lid on the *insert moron who hit him here*. This can be fluffed as him having been abused for years by Hobgoblins (or goblins for that matter) and he simply had a psychotic break, and every time he gets hit hard enough it triggers the break again and he destroys everything in the room (obviously targeting living things first) but does it with absolutely no emotion.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
43. Optimized character for disarming with unarmed combat and general damage boosting feats. He specializes in killing people with their own weapon before dropping it and moving onto the next enemy.
44. A persistomancer who specializes in emanation spells. He causes massive damage due to overlappIng widened auras. Best if played as someone who just wants to be loved and can't understand why no one wants to be near him.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
Kensai can designate his unarmed strike or natural weapon(s) as his signature weapon so, yes, kensai and VoP can work just fine together. He couldn't use a manufactured weapon though since the signature weapon feature demands a masterwork weapon and owning one would violate his VoP.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
47. A Wizard centered on spamming Magic Missile. There's even a PrC for it in the Dragon Compendium.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
48. How about a crusty old dwarven miner who does just about *everything* with his trusty mining pick? He mines with it, he eats with it, and is an absolute master at fighting with it.
Maybe even go as far as make it a legacy/ancestral weapon. Is there any book support for pick fighting?

49. Male human summoner with the Young simple template. Played as a junior high school kid from Japan who has been transported to a magical land. Refluff summoning and spellcasting as swiping cards through a card reader and calling the attack names. Play EVERY shonen anime trope (and 'mon' show tropes in particular) completely straight.

I bet it is Fiend Of Possession, which ythey can't take because they are neither a fiend nor have the Evil subtype.

Re: 1001 Crazy Character Ideas
50. Play a Kender, and play it well. Even if you play it poorly, it should still be a pretty crazy character.
