[Heron TSG]

Yeah, my session yesterday pretty much consisted of my friend (the paladin) blocking stuff and cutting hobos in half, me blocking stuff, shooting hobos, and healing, and my brother hiding behind us and attempting to throw rocks at the enemies because he wasted all of his offensive spells on the first hobo we ran into.

I'm a powergamer Which is why I like human fighters. They're just nice and generic and flexible.

I also like making evokers. Especially sorcerer ones, they never seem to run out of offensive spells. I like making all my evokers as females wearing sexy red robes too

Dual classed Monk/Assassin is also a favorite of mine in 3.5.
Monk = badass who can fight almost naked
Assassin = badass who can do nasty criticals to defenseless people.
Monk/Assassin = Naked guy who lurks in shadows, jumps on someone, breaks his spine (death strike), slams him into a wall (stunning fist), rips out his guts (another death strike), then runs away and hides in another corner.

I like my human paladin Aveldineir, an expert at diplomacy (to counterbalance the fact that in my last game with him there was an ASSASSIN, A SERIAL KILLER, AND A VAMPIRE in the party), swordplay (Did not die to a giant wolf long enough for  my squishy friends to kill it) and general badassery. (Was separated from the party at Level 1 in a military camp with a hundred guards patrolling, particularly wary of intruders after a recent rebel assault. He escaped by something that should only work in movies: He killed the stable guards, stole a horse, rode bareback 2 miles into town, jumped off of the still-galloping horse and running into a bar, and eluding the guards by starting a bar fight and getting them involved, then sneaking through back alleys to a completely different tavern, and talking a bunch of hostile, drunk men into buying him a beer and telling him the literal, exact address of where his party had gone without him.)

He even had a good backstory: His training by several different churches led him to not be sure on which god to follow, and was thus a paladin through his faith in the gods mere existence rather than worshiping and obeying one of them exclusively.

The only character I've ever gotten the opportunity to actually play was a dwarven druid. He was also a lumberjack, and a hermit. I found the dichotomy of a dwarf trying to use nature to destroy nature... interesting, at the least, frustrating at the worst. He is pretty much useless, except he did kneecap a stone golem by using "soften stone," which was neat.

I originally liked playing tank characters, like barbarians and paladins, but after a while that got damn boring.  I didn't seem to die any slower than the magic users, so I migrated over to sorcerer for the non-memorization based magic.  Being a glass cannon was loads of fun.  As for race, since we had every sourcebook known to man, I tended to like obscure variations of humans, like this electric-bonus machineman race.

[Jerick]

I'm currently playing a half-golem, golaith barbarian.
I started with a golaith built mostly for grapeling, a while ago I found a lightning ballista which I ripped from it's mount and have been lugging around ever since.
Reccently I lost my left arm and since it's a zelda themed campain (the dm's a big zelda nut) and since we where in clocktown I got it replaced with an iron extendo hand.
I can now do a ranged grapel check and drag people over to me, I used it to pull a beholder out of the sky and drag across some rocks while my team mates ripped out it's eyes.

[Davion]

Last time I played it was 2nd edition, don't have any of the old sheets on hand.

[Rooster]

I would play as sorcerors now.
But my most succesfull character was a half-orc barbarian.
Good times.

[Judas Maccabeus]

I do feel more comfortable playing a character of the same sex..

For whatever reason I'm almost the exact opposte; I tend to have more fun, and make a more interesting character, with one of the opposite gender rather than one of my own.  Such is odd sometimes...

[Poltifar]

I never got to play a real tabletop DnD, but whenever i get to play DnD-based games (NWN, roguelikes with similar rules, etc) I almost always opt for a wizard, preferably advancing into an Archmage or somesuch pure-arcane-explosive-force specialist. I tend to dump all my stat-points/best-stat-rolls into intelligence, both for super powerful magical abilities and because I like to play a super-genius know-it-all (although i tend to be incapacitated pretty quickly if i dont have some nice and considerate melee classes backing me up)

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

@rickvoid - we think alike apparently

Chek Fai: a halfling cleric of fire who thinks the world should Burn Baby Burn, due to halfing mistreatment by the "biggins"

Rooster:  a daredevil.  he is a Johnny Knoxville D&D character.  he would rather ride the dragon than kill it, or surf behind the dragon turtle.  sadly, he got renamed "Mr. Wiggles"

Goldy the Gold Dragon Wizard, in elf form, who got dropped on his head accidentally and now has a 8 intelligence, so he can.t cast spells and has forgotton he is a dragon and not an elf. (this is actually a friends of mines PC)

If someone in my group is playing a Paladin, i will make an evil cleric/fighter and loudly quest for anti-paladinstatus, then taunt the paladin with things like "do you have any evidence I broke the law?" or "you didnt actually SEE me kill that guy did you?" and my favorite "Assualt is against the law pally boy, and the guards be a watchin!" and things like that.


Sociopaths are by far the most fun PC to play, but you need a special DM to get away with it.

Using the rogue class, fighter class and ranger class, i like to make DND versions of Batman    Complete with fake identities, i always "act the fool" in public.  IT WILL DRIVE THE REST OF THE PARTY NUTS< its awesome, cuz then you put on the mask and they have to pretend they dont know who you are  lol

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Astesh Trollsbane, a Lawful Evil dwarven wizard. He's as charismatic and attractive as a car crash in a pit of snakes, lazy and frequently drunken, but he's also the cleverest and most skilled character in the party. He can't shoot straight or hit anything, but he's a powerful evoker and necromancer with very useful skills.
He is guilty of quadruple regicide, the burning of a capital city, desecration of graves, multiple homicide, destruction of property, derailing the lightning express, bank robbery, slander and libel, corruption, bribery, jailbreaking and disturbing the peace.
He also kicked a puppy.

He's in a party with Eustace Flint, a lawful good cleric, Elandir, a half-elf monk and Raubiter Bach, a neutral dwarven warrior.

[Rooster]

Anyone recall icewind dale 2???

I used to play with a dwarven paladin that didn't have enough wisdom to cast any spells yet still kicked asses with his 2-handed swords. Funny stuff. I played him SOLO and he still owned!

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

I just totally forgot about my absolute favorite character.  I play him once every time I meet a new DM to test the guy/gal out.

He is the "normal guy" who gets accidentally caught up in the PC's hijinks.  He thinks all you sword wielding, spell throwing, theiving freaks are completely insane.  no one in their right mind would WANT to go into a dark spooky hole and fight monsters.  NO ONE!  And then, once the action starts he begins screaming about how your all gonna get him killed.  Try this PC out one time.  you dont even have to role up the character.  his/her stats are completety beside the point.  I promise you will have more fun than you have the last 5 games of D&D.

[Willfor]

My best two D&D characters so far were a Kobold Rogue who, while fully capable of speech, decided to communicate with the party entirely in gestures to disguise his intelligence, and an Aranea Sorceror whose motivations were consistently hidden from the party just because she liked to play with people's minds.

I enjoy playing wacky and out-there concepts.
