    A Paladin Necromancer who, because they worship a diety who is fine with killing stuff and raising the dead, ends up murdering anyone who disagrees with them and raising them into undead for "divine servitude" using his class abilities. Oh, and because they're a Paladin, everyone is supposed to be fine with it. Also, max Dimplomacy skills, which they roll to force any NPC (or PC) to agree with them.

    ...yeah.

    That sounds perfect, then. The profession roll is to see how much money they earn from doing the work, after all. Give the golem the idea to "work" as a speed bump, make the skill roll, and the 2 copper pieces that he picks up off the street after "work" is what he considers is pay.


    As an aside, I did play an AD&D one time where pretty much everything was left at the decision of the die. I ended up with a Cleric with 1 HP. Fun times.

    Not at all uncommon back then. I quit playing wizards in AD&D because my d4 was cursed and I kept getting 1-to-2-hit-point-wonders. One of them died in one round to a goat, another to a cat, and I finally moved on to a different class (when starting at lvl 1 anyway) with a different hit die after a few more ignominious deaths like that. My d6 was not nearly so cursed.

    My absolute munchkin (when he so chooses, otherwise a great if slightly meta) player explained that he learned to make ridiculous characters because he has a demonstrable piss-poor luck when it comes to dice. I'm not kidding, we did scientific testing, any time he rolls (any) dice they come out lower than the average by a statistically significant number.

    Never let him near Maptools, then. Its onboard dice-roller came up consistently low for the entire group over a whole campaign.

    Hm. I've had one campaign on this site where in the climactic boss battle the die roll threw the PCs seven natural ones in the first round of combat (out of about 11 actual roles made).

    I've a noted tendency to overpopulate my campaigns with mouthy and combat-ready NPCs, to both provide exposition and to give me a safety net if I really screw up encounter balance. It looks really bad when we get into combat and suddenly they're the only people that can hit anything.

    This is why I frequently play clerics. I tend to roll terribly, both for stats and for attacks. At least with a cleric, I don't need to roll to heal someone and can heal myself to stay alive longer. My best D&D4 character was a Warlord, simply because his main "attack" was to have someone else make an attack roll.

    Heck, the above-mentioned 1HP cleric actually bended the rules presented a bit, because as I had rolled my stats for the character, there was no class he qualified for. Yep, this was back in AD&D2 when you had minimum ability score requirements. I'd rolled below a 9 on everything except Constitution.

    I have an urge to play a celibate bard who believes that prostitutes are the only reliable source of information in a town. Just to both play straight and subvert bard stereotypes at once. Bonus points if I can convince someone else in the group to play their spouse of ten years.

    I've played this one. He was a priest previously. Mostly I ended up using him to troll everyone by 'unintentionally' ruining long term scheming because it was one of those long running pseudo-freeform LARP games where everybody plots against everyone else. I'd like to think that the group as a whole had a net shift towards good, even if they were all pretty irritated about it. Eventually he was assassinated. : /

    Ah, sounds like one of those characters. One who absolutely requires some obscure magical item to even function properly. Something like a vegetarian Mind Flayer with a ring of substance, or a ghost swordmaster with a ghost touch sword, or a "daywalker" vampire who requires a magical cloak or ring to survive the sunlight.

    Bonus points if the character doesn't actually have the required item, and complains about the DM ruining their character concept by not handing one out to them in the first encounter.

    Basically, though it's a bit more viable since you can start with Hearthstones.

    It's the "can't go into the underworld ever" that makes the concept dependant on them.

    A friend of mine actually gave me this as a thought experiment last week; "What's the most ridiculous, over-the-top, unrealistic character concept you can think of?" After a little discussion we decided it was a more fun question with the caveat that you had to be able to come up with a coherent (if absurd) backstory for the character.

    I came up with a master ninja with a robotic arm that is simultaneously both a vampire and a werewolf. He is the first of his clan in a thousand years to master the Warp Blade technique, which allows him to bend space-time to his will. So in addition to being a cyborg werewolf vampire ninja, he's also a time traveler and functionally immortal.

    Now, outside of something really rules-light I would have no idea how to stat it, but it seems to fit the theme of this thread.

    I once ran a First Edition Exalted game in which a player came up to me with a premise for a Lunar sorcerer who considered herself a god. As she wasn't great at rules, another player volunteered to help her build the character.

    I did not check that he was, in fact, actually capable of doing so.

    The result was a Full Moon Lunar who used sorcery and martial arts, two things that Lunars are not good at using. Her nine Charms were:
    * Finding the Spirit's Shape, which all Lunars are required to have.
    * Snake Style: Striking Cobra, Serpentine Evasion, and Snake Form. These three Charms allowed her to magically fight using techniques she could have gotten from her own Charms, but not as well because they keyed off her Martial Arts 4 instead of her Dexterity 5.
    * Tale-Spinning Mastery on a Charisma 3 character, letting her add three dice to tell stories. She had Performance 2, so this superpower let her go from "moderately good storyteller" to "tells stories almost as well as an expert mortal".
    * Terrestrial Circle Sorcery
    * Terrestrial Countermagic, which lets her fight other sorcerers.
    * Invulnerable Body of Bronze, a spell which if cast by a Lunar sorcerer fails to activate.
    * Stormwind Rider, a spell that allows a Lunar sorcerer to fly along the ground with a few other people, something better accomplished by... well, by turning into a giant bird, which they all can do.

    Notably absent were Charms to give her incredible health, the Charm to turn her into a goddamn giant death monster at will, or any actual Full Moon Charms.

    Notably absent were Charms to give her incredible health, the Charm to turn her into a goddamn giant death monster at will, or any actual Full Moon Charms.
    My knowledge of Exalted is poor, but is that actually legal?

    This is why I don't let others build characters for me, although they can offer advice. If my character sucks, it should be my fault.

    I came up with a master ninja with a robotic arm that is simultaneously both a vampire and a werewolf. He is the first of his clan in a thousand years to master the Warp Blade technique, which allows him to bend space-time to his will. So in addition to being a cyborg werewolf vampire ninja, he's also a time traveler and functionally immortal.

    Now, outside of something really rules-light I would have no idea how to stat it, but it seems to fit the theme of this thread.
