You wanna play what?! Most unique characters

Speaking of Warforged Warlocks, I had a concept for a good one, although I never got to play hIm. The core concept was that he offered his soul in exchange for power to a lesser and perhaps not quite so bright fiend who found out too late that Warforged don't have souls.

On one memorable occasion, I played as a tower. As in, a full on five hundred meter tall spire. The reaction of the other players was pretty much the title of this thread.

That one's pretty funny.

[Affer the Bomb] - I played a Polar Bear car mechanic who was perfect amiable and was, nominally, specialised in unarmed combat. Ultimately this meant that he went around hitting people with significantly large pieces of car, whole motorcycles and on one occasion, another Player Character.

In the same game, a friend played a Weasel Samurai with a second brain that had grown halfway down his spine, and someone else played a racoon hobo. To this day I have no idea what his role was supposed to be, but he spent a significant amount of time sitting around, scrounging for food and pretending that he could drive a car, and other outrageous "but we didn't find out about it until far too late to do anything about it" lies.

[Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play] - I made an adventurer who was a Blood Bowl Player (if you don't know what that is, imagine what the NFL would be like if it were set in Middle Earth, with Wizards shooting spells onto the pitch and the dwarfs bringing steampunk chainsaws and ball-launching blunderbusses to help them out).

It was quite surreal - he hadn't made the try-outs to join a team this season, so the OBVIOUS thing to do was to hit the road and fight the forces of Chaos and other ancient evil creatures by starting in a 3-point stance and then tackling them in the gut - and yet the rules for grappling made him surprisingly effective....

[Star Wars d20] - Jawa Jedi.

I'm playing a variant human rogue. You may be thinking, "oh, that's so normal". But it's not. Thus particular var human rogue has nine different weapons, including a GLAIVE and blowgun, stashed everywhere on his person. Oh, and on his mule, too. Did I forget to say that he has a mule?

I even spent the feat on Weapons Master so that I could grab proficiency with flails, glaives, blowguns, and tridents.

He blew all of his money (160gp starting) on caltrops, ball bearings, and oil (oh yeah, and his nine weapons) and is trap-focused. I only created him because I couldn't create a 5e kobold trapmaker rogue with the DMG NPC rules and legitimately play it in the adventurers' league game I'm joining.

Whenever someone describes a character toting around an insane amount of gear I immediately think of the scene in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka when he straps himself head to toe with guns, trips, and sets them all off.

So I am currently DMing a D&D 5e game and I have a player who is RPing an awakened Saber Tooth Tiger paladin of a nature goddess. IT has been an interesting experience trying to have the world react to him as the group he is with is a Tiefling fighter/warlock, a human ranger, with a vampire ancenster, and a Satyr bard. The main reason I let him play it is because he has to give up a lot of things in order to be the beast, like some skills, and tools. Though I would let him use some of the skills if he finds a creative way to use them.

Grey elf Warmage/Sandshaper. fun as hell to play lots of utility currently on DarkSun (after a messy party break up because of rule zero)

Human Rokugan Ninja/ Monk. Working towards Master of the South Wind not a power house character but brings utility and nice thematic touch.


Satyr scout. Fun but I find I have too much movement speed . stopped playing because I didn't want to be the guy to break the game

[Mr.Sandman]

Had a friend in college who played a pretty basic half orc bard... In every game he was near. He wielded the legendary Axeguitarp, and axe, guitar, and harp all fused into one, and had an extremely bad case of wanderlust. When he got bored he would just wander off, and show up somewhere completely different. he showed up in about 7 different settings, in three different systems, and thats just before Ieft. I think he was still there a semester or two more. To my friends credit he rebuilt him to match the party level and system each time, and did play regular characters in most of those games too, but if he had class or something to do and could only game for a little bit, he would bring him out for a cameo.

Stone Giant Stonesinger (Read: Bard/rogue combo custom class). His name is Giggles the Stone Giant.

Yes, he is quite stealthy, thank you for asking. Certainly more stealthy than the wood elf in the party.

[The Glyphstone]

So, I suppose my latest character in a Planescape PbP game counts.

Mechanically, it's just a Path of War Harbinger with a rapier, absolutely nothing wonky or weird or quirky.

RPwise, though, it's a very interesting experience, because I built a custom race using the Paizo Race Guide that's basically a (humanoid) exile from the Far Realms, trapped on the Wheel and trying to find a way home. Trying to replicate the Blue and Orange Morality and strange perspective of an eldritch abomination has been an absolute blast so far - it doesn't understand concepts like 'plural nouns' or 'pronouns'. One of the other players commented that I've managed to make a PC who speaks Uncommon as a native language.

A paladin of Saint Cuthbert, He was lent out to a wizard to help stop an evil hoard of evilness. Sadly he fell during the battle, but the Wizard felt that his contract had not yet been fulfilled. He was brought back as a skeleton, but his mind and powers where left in tact! He continued to fight on in order to battle evil.

So, Skeletal Paladin in a 3.5 game. Based off a combination of Sir Daniel Fortesque and Sir Didymus. Had a wonderful character sketch.

You're gonna have to explain that bit of glory there. Don't leave us hanging.
