Coolest character you have played?

[EZ_Yale L Simkin 2]

Mine would ahve to be "theif". Yep that's his name. It's a campaign consisting of me and friends RPing the characters from 8 bit theater. hehe, I steal constantly, and I haven't got caught yet.

mine would have to be my wizard. Maalvi.
At level 5 he went to hell. He laughed all the way down.
And once there, it was like a walk through the woods to him.

He would also write things down in every langauge known to him, as well as speak them all (imagine having an elf going at random between 5 different tounges)

Yeah, he was mad, and he was damn fun Mdar Kelf Wizard RtalRogueTest your sig Here

I had a cleric by day, and he was a pimp by night. He would get the party in so much trouble cause he couldnt resist a hot chick. Had a few towns after us cause he would sleep with mayors daughters and stuff. it was fun as hell.

Its not D&D, but it is fantasy.

I made a character called "The Black Monk" who was basically a martial artist/theif (ninja style) with minor magical abilities who's goal in life was to support charities and to encourage charitable contributions by others. Those who refused to donate they suffered an involuntary double donation, ie they got burglarized by the Black Monk.

He would never steal from anyone who was sufficiently charitable in the first place, and would never steal from anyone who couldnt afford the loss. He was also very kind, and only kept enough money to support the bare necessities of life. Having no appreciable overhead, he actually supported more charitable causes than our paladin. It drove the paladin nuts.

hum. either gwynion my wildcat shaman in shadowrun, who I played long enough to start using hellblasts as a standard thug deterrant. who later died to a dm-cheated diceroll from a rigger-controlled gun drone. dm killed me because he didn't want me playing that character in his "new" campaign, even though we'd all made the deal 3 months previously that when we made these characters, we would play them until they died, regardless of the campaign. we were sick of new characters in shadowrun or d&d or whatever when we switched games every month, and gwyn just happened to never die in his first sr campaign.

the other would be my terribly-named dwarven fighter from d&d 2e, clangeddin battlehammer. he had the battlerager kit, made it to level 9 with a ranger comrade (appropriately named aragorn) after them having slain three separate dragons, always in under three rounds. he came out of retirement, was saving some prince in a room where a gate to the abyss was open, so he jumped through to take out the demons opening it. then we just sort of left his fate hanging, since we knew he'd probably die but he was actually tough enough to possibly survive.

ah.. thats a nasty lightsaber training accident, that!

[EZ_Matheren]

heh funny, my group had a guy who tried to be a one-handed jedi before I joined them. he got his right hand cut off by another jedi or a fumble or something, and said that he'd be an even better fighter (speaking statistically, out of character) if he somehow "grafted" the saber to his wrist.

not sure how that works, but hey, whatever.

[EZ_Arafain]

No, I actually started out as a fully "armed" jedi, but one of the bosses we fought about halfway into the campaign had a sword that severed limbs on a 19-20, with a fort save to resist. I didn't resist, and I lost my right arm. Nearly bled to death, but I was able to get patched up, and eventually I had a metal arm. Unfortunately, we were on a nowhere planet with no materials at the time, so they had to make my new arm out of spare parts on the ship - I basically had a metal bar that came from just above my elbow into a converted ship hinge, and then just a metal bar with a hand made almost entirely out of metal shards. Held a lightsaber rather badly, but I managed. Eventually, after our characters had gotten a bit higher level, we managed to find some more resources and a slightly more advanced part of the planet - now that character has a ditanium arm that looks exactly like a real one and gives him a +5 innate strength bonus. -- Marauder Arafain Entreri, 65 Deceiver

Hmm.. missing hands reminds me of the incident where we were horribly outmatched once. We were trying to occupy a balrog's attention long enough for our magician to open a dimensional rift, through which we were then going to push said balrog (somehow) and then close it behind him. The whole party had but one weapon that could actually hurt the balrog, the paladin's holy sword. We eventually got the rift open (which the mage wisely opened BELOW the balrog, such that it fell through it) except the balrog managed to grab one of the characters as it fell. That character was grabbed by most of the other characters to prevent him falling through the rift with the balrog, but, ever so slowly, we were losing ground. The dangling balrog was just too heavy. The Paladin managed, miraculously, to strike and sever the balrog's hand at its wrist. The demon dropped into the rift, which the magician then closed.

Somewhere out there, though, there is a balrog with a hook* and a grudge. We lived in terror of its return ever after, and any reference to a balrog was met with the frightened question "Does it have a hook for a hand?!?"



* We figured that since it was cut off with a holy sword the hand would not regenerate.

And that last post is a great example of why Pen and Paper games will never die. A computer game could never do something like that. (prove me wrong, prove me wrong, prove me wrong, pleeeeeese) I love D&D
