    Once had a group that played as one Doppelganger and 4 mimics. Basically the Doppelganger turned itself into a human and the mimics all turned into armor and weapons and they all formed a chaotic good paladin that would eat the forces of evil

      I had a character named Jose the magi who was a half elven wizard. If you knew Latin (which at the time I did not) magi is Latin for multiple people so it became a running joke that the wizard was just 3 gnomes on top of each other and even after the campaign we sometimes see a Jose as 3 gnomes who share one mind. It is interesting.

      @@dannykimes2323 I've had 7 years of Latin in school, and... As far as I, and the online dictionaries, go? ''Magi'' is Latin for ''Sorcerer/Mage''... But, then there's the declensions.
      It can mean one of the following things, depending on the context in which it is used:
      1. "Mages'', nominative plural. Nominative meaning that it has to be the subject in the sentence: With other words, ''The mages walked down the street'' would use the word like this.
      2. ''Mage'', genitive singular. With other words: ''Of the mage/sorcerer'', or ''the Mage's/Sorcerer's'' - an example would be ''the sorcerer's stone.''
      3. ''Mages'', vocative plural. Vocative meaning that it's someone being addressed. For example: ''Hey, mages, go and run back to your library! Neeeeeerrdddsss!!!''
      As you can see: In two out of three cases, it is indeed a plural form, but it isn't exactly translated with ''multiple people''.
      I like the story, tho!

    For a halloween one-shot we played in a sort of haunted house, I was still very new to d&d so my buddies pretty much made my character (Dwarf paladin). They did allow me to make his personality, ideals and so on, not knowing wtf I was even doing I asked "Can my dwarf paladin have his flaw being that he doesn't believe the human race exists?", and that is why Ragnar the dwarf paladin ran through a haunted house filled with murder-happy (human) cultists mostly screaming with breaks filled with "Wow that's a tall dwarf", "Jeez those ears must be deformed huh elf boy?" and "oh my *whichever God it was he followed* she is one pretty half-orc! They are usually so disgusting".
    Oh and every time someone tried to tell him that there was such a thing as humans he would take a page out of the 40k book and scream "Cease! your! heresy!" punctuated by swings of his warhammer.

      This reminds me of the human ranger I played with 6 Int and 6 charisma who believed dragons controlled the government and that elves, dwarves, gnomes and halflings were just paid actors with fake ears or who were underfed as children that the dragons were paying to justify fake wars to tax the population.
      He also believed celestials, elementals and friends were aliens who'd been abducting people and impregnating them and hence why aasimar, genasi, and tieflings exist.
      He also believed the monstrous races were formed by government experiments or chemicals being leaked to the wild.
      Finally he believed that all magic users are druids. Including himself.
      His story ended when the chaotic evil druid accidentally convinced him he was actually a knight of an ancient drow ruin (he didn't actually know what drow were) and gave him the title "protector of individualism" and he then went his own way to protect individualism everywhere.

    Pairs as a phenomenal plot twist.
    Had a party where the Paladin was an extremely hammy boy scout of a Lawful Good utterly devoted to Pelor. He had a quirk where he suffered from constant headaches, and no potion or spell could help it. Everyone didn't think much of it until a fight with a Giant aligned with the BBEG, who sent the Paladin flying, his ever-helmeted head chopped clean off. We all stared in shock, as the hit was sudden (DM loved taking random pot shots at us).
    And then the Paladin's body moved. As he picked up his own still-armored noggin, we all found out that our resident ultra-goody-twoshoes, loyal and steadfast companion and defender of the weak............was a Death Knight. Apparently, a wandering mage had somehow stuck the Helmet of Opposite Alignment upon our friend, with a spell making him forget his past life, and with a compulsion to never take off the helmet tacked on. If he ever did, "bad things would happen, [he] just knew it".
    Even after knowing what he actually was, and why his headaches were a thing (Pelor hates undead - duh), he still chose to wear the helmet, concluding that his unlife as a Death Knight was an undisirable past.
    Ultimately, he ended up dying a true Hero's death smacking the BBEG around, and was finally laid to eternal rest with honors, redeemed in Pelor's eyes.

He could be easily convinced to malevolent acts, agreed with everyone way too easily. If you told him to do something, he’d probably do it-the morality of the act not even questioned. He basically had anxiety and did anything anyone told him to.

    First time playing Dungeon Fantasy I didn't want to play anything stereotypical. We needed Damage Output so I chose the Barbarian template (Massive ST, Tough and extra hit point, moderate wilderness skills and not very clever or perceptive) While looking at non-human's with big ST bonuses I Joked about playing a halfling barbarian and someone dared me to, figuring it wouldn't affect me much I agreed. Halflings take a major ST penalty but I still had the highest ST in the party, they get better DX so all of my physical skills went up and they're a touch smarter so I wasn't special needs anymore. Best of all they get better HT and extra hit points again. So my Barbarian wasn't as gigantic but he could take an unholey beating. One of the latter battles we were in I was shot in the skull for an insane amount of damage. The entire group stared at me in horror, thinking I was going to drop dead. I made a death save and a consciousness check and kept murdering until passing out at the end of the battle while my teammates force-fed me healing potions.
    Halflings also have a bonus to slings and throwing sticks. The only weapon that uses the Throwing-stick ability was a boomarang, which is really good if you're strong. It was also a weapon I was competent with as a barbarian so I became a deadly boomarang assasin, knocking goblins off walls and knocking Ratmen wizards out cold through ranks of his guards.
    My barbarian stealth plus Halfling DX boost and Halfling silence made be better at Stealth than the party's ranger. Dungeon Fantasy Halflings are also tiny folk, like barely hip-high to a human. So I would routinely hide behind the legs of other party members then leap out and wrestle enemies to the ground when they would engage my party members in these dynamic david-vs-goliath power slams.
    Halflings unfortunately have the very tropey disadvantage of being Kleptomaniacs and that just didn't fit my prideful and honorable tribe leader, but the disadvantage doesn't require that you be discrete about it. So, if my Barbarian felt disrespected by you or just didn't like you, he would walk up and pick up something you own, show it to you and stare at you intimidatingly as he slowly tucked it into his pouch.
    Lastly the Barbarian had a 'special move' an attack that they got a bonus for and it was a thrusting spear attack to your eye, followed immediately by a thrusting spear attack to your other eye. With his Halfling DX and a few other bonuses from a well-made spear he could frequently manage this attack, it was not something creatures that had eyes or brains walked away from. Several times in the campaign the DM would have enemies make taunts like "I don't see what's so special about you" or "I don't see how you have any choice in the matter" or "I've seen more impressive corpses" and I would IMMEDIATELY use my special move. One of them was a demon who just got the crap beat out of him, one was a vampire who wasn't badly hurt but ended up blinded but twice I insta-killed the enemy leader in the middle of his monologue while all of his guards stared in horror and I smirked and said "Blind men don't see what's right in front of them".

    But, only when he is forced into combat, he is revealed to be a giant beast of raw rage and strength and all his Inteligence and Wisdom points switch to his Strength and Dexterity. It will go in like this until rage ends.

    He's actually Death/the grim reaper, but he's committed yet-unspecified crimes against nature and as a result was stripped of all his memories. He's really just using the power he's always had, but through spells because that's the only way he knows of anymore.
    As far as he knows he's a normal human, and he just assumes whatever deal he made with his pateon happened before the amnesia. His main goal is to find his human family (I feel a bit bad setting him up for failure but he needs *some* reason to be adventuring).

    Kobold Swashbuckler level 9 named Snit Ashtail. Obsessed with hats. Background "clever minion" basically criminal, with a tweak of charlatan, but essentially minion and sole survivor of every D&D campaigns major baddie (think dragon, wizards, thieves guild, orc mauraders, whatever) . Age 60(middle age for Kobold) Expertise in persuasion, deception, performance and sleight of hand. During a one-shot, he completed his character arc of becoming "The strongest little Bad, because Big Bads always die"; by diffusing a potential battle with a Ettincap and 6 trolls, by first intimidating the biggest troll, then persuading the Ettincap that it was in his best interest to work for him. The bridge the trolls collected tolls for became Snit's Bridge, and he aquired a posse, who we then used to assist in boss battle. I feel I should also mention that he was 2'6" tall, but wore a big red hat with a 4'6" giant feather in it.
    Table was rolling while Snit talked trash to a 15' tall troll and scared his pants off, then told the trolls boss: You work for Snit now, I keep half what you makes, and all shiny swords. Now, let's smash puny humans that bother Snit's town.
    The DM and some of the other players have now adopted Snit as one of their NPC's, which I consider to be a great honor.

    I haven't done this yet, but I always wanted to make a half rogue/ half paladin character.
    In 3.5 there is technically no rule that says you can't do this.
    First you start out as a lawful good rogue (which is not against the rules). You can call yourself whatever you want.. Treasure hunter, locksmith, trap disarmer, scout, whatever. And just remain loyal to that alignment. (it's really not required to be chaotic or evil or anything).
    After gaining many levels of rogue, you then switch to being a paladin. Paladins have to stay as paladins once they are paladins, so you have to do this second.
    So now you have a character who can wear platemail, use any weapon, heal, open locks, disarm traps, and sneak-smite flat-footed or flanked opponents for TONS of damage.
    There is no rule against this. Though it's hard to convince people that it's legit.

    You see, I have learned through my experience that creative doesn’t always mean good. Our most “creative” character was for a game I DMed. They put a lot of work into them, but it was so much that it caused a lot of problems. They dragged the party along for their backstory quest, derailed the campaign several times, lost their virginity in a bet, ticked off the short-fused fighter who responded with 60+ damage, lost their magic items, wanted to bring a magic item to an evil divine being, and lied about being an agent from the most powerful country in the world. This last one led to their execution from which they were revived, then killed again by some random side quest bandit one session later.

    When Bahamut is in control, he is a Lawful Good cleric.
    When Tiamat is in control, he is a Chaotic Evil warlock.
    When not controlled by gods constantly trying to prove they are stronger and using him as their toy, he is a Full Neutral Sorcerer who has a blood feud with himself 3 times over but can't do anything about it.

    My favorite character I've ever played in a tabletop game was from Tavern Tales, if anyone knows it (I prefer the roleplaying elements of that game to D&D). I was a dwarf mage who took an ability that allowed me to give inanimate objects intelligence, with one personality trait decided by me and the other decided by the GM. My first order of business was to take some rope from my bag and give it intelligence to make essentially a rope snake, which I decided would be "loyal" and the GM added on that it was *"uncomfortably* loyal" and would never leave my side. I wore it as a belt most of the time and since my character was kinda slutty everyone else I played with naturally devolved into jokes about my character and her weirdly touchy-feely rope. After quite a few sessions, we took another look at my ability and realized that it was vaguely-worded in such a way that theoretically I could create infinite inanimate objects with intelligence, so we spent an entire session creating various "creatures" that could help us in a myriad of ways. The best one by far was "Firewood," an doll that we got from an incredibly creepy doll collector and shopkeeper that we of course decided would have to be insanely creepy itself. We had it take a couple abilities related to intimidating and scaring NPCs and then sent it through the vents of a building we were trying to get into. As soon as it peeked out of the vents and the NPCs inside saw it they started basically shitting their pants and scattering to the winds screaming. Funniest session we ever fucking had.
    A couple other things my character managed to do during that campaign's lifetime:
    Got stabbed in a bar from just talking to someone at the counter. I took a decent chunk of damage, idk how it even happened...
    Attracted the attention of a lonely middle-aged woman who, upon discovering my character was bi, pursued her a little too closely and clearly wanted to bone. After one weekend where we had some free time between missions, I got a message from her and promptly announced my character was mysteriously absent for the weekend, reappearing at the end looking a little disheveled but pleased with herself.
    Went to a party announcing she wanted to eat soup. Immediately the host of the party showed up and started pushing me very suspiciously to eat the soup that was at the party. I decided I was not going to eat the soup. Da dadada daaaaaa, I avoided being poisoned and actually managed to derail the GM's plans for that event (spoiler alert: he REALLY wanted me to eat the soup).
    Damn I miss that campaign. We never finished it but it was the best one I've ever been in...

    The characters in our game were already destined to be weird but the DM really sealed the deal when she revealed the plot. So our starter characters are a group of 5th grade human kids from the real world who end up being shown how to enter a magical land the the Dark World. There we turn into our fighter characters. We have a dragonborn barbarian with a lumberjack background that speaks in an exaggerated Scottish accent, a warforged cleric that seems to have all the worst luck (both ingame and out), a changeling sorcerer that enjoys painting but is a little kill happy sometimes, a merrow bard that takes all the drugs and plays a lot of classic rock music (remember: this guy is supposed to be a 5th grader), and my character, a celestial warlock half orc with a Russian accent and high intimidation stats that I play as a magical girl. We were later joined by a high school boy from Vegas who is short for his age that turns into a halfling rogue when he enters the Dark World. He's the bards new best friend. Yes, we are all very worried about this.

    The third is Traavea, another Tiefling warlock of the hexblade who was a cultist serving an ideal more than a god. The cult was made up entirely of tieflings, and their goal is to lift the curse on their people.
    Next is Shäd, an aasimar gunslinger who was hunting his adopted brother. He was allowed to dual-weild revolvers, and I loosely based him on Revolver Ocelot.

CG changeling rogue that makes no attempt to hide the fact that they are a changeling and is usually in their true form, uses changeling powers to help infiltrate dungeons and stuff and to avoid getting into trouble for doing robin hood stuff and dishing out vigilante justice.

    I play a tiefling cleric. She used to worship Asmodeus just like the rest of her family and everyone else in her old cult, the Ashmadai. After receiving a telepathic advertisement for Pelor. She stopped following Asmodeus, as she had never had any true contact or connection with him. She then started following Pelor and became a cleric as she was imbued with divine magic. She has been in several conversations with Pelor and has even earned his favor.

    Am a normal human but can get enraged
    When enraged i set on fire (spontanious combustion) and basicly each attack has a 50% chance to set enemy on fire
    Anyone or anything burnable touching me sets on fire
    Had many things burned to the ground accidently and only one person could calm me down but he died and now im permanently on fire until he gets reincarnated

    I haven't played DnD too much but I really enjoyed one character I made. Drove my DM up the wall.
    The character was a Tortle Druid. He had been raised by trees and they named him Rock-that-Walks.
    He was blind.
    At one point my DM got so frustrated he had another player heal Rock's eyesight with a miracle. Rock was terrified of seeing and just wore a blindfold because the world scared him.
    I knew my DM was trying to kill Rock every chance he got so, unbeknownst to DM, I had a backup character for when it happened.
    It was Rock's tortle brother that was also raised by trees.
    Stone-that-Runs. Stone was deaf.

    I once made a Pathfinder Witch who had the most unbalanced stat rolls, with two nat 20s, three average rolls, and a nat 1. I put the 20s in STR and DEX since it would let me try a weird build, and wound up dumping CHA - so then I had to figure out why someone who was buff, dextrous, somewhat intelligent, and relatively able to read a room and take a hit was so horrible at even being scary.
    So I made them an edgelord.
    An agonizingly melodramatic edgelord.
    Their attempts at talking to people frequently included excessive extraneous references to "death" "the void" and other terrifying concepts that really lose their weight after being used three times in a sentence, for instance trying to scare information out of someone with "comply or I will rend your soul into the void!" What provided a comedic juxtaposition to their social incompetence, however, was their downright demonic combat effectiveness. They had sight-based Concealment from everything in almost every encounter, and a bow that I had shamelessly cheesed into their possession which dealt 2d6+5 damage but gave serious penalties to anyone who tried to use it with less than a +5 STR mod. Adding their high DEX and Concealment, they rarely missed and killed most early enemies in one hit.
    This was at level 1.

    I had a friend play a sentient sword. He was a Pact of the Blade Warlock, except he was the blade. He appeared like a mid-20s human, but had the mind of a child because he was a fucking sword. It was hilarious.
    He also left a 5 foot wide path of singed grass and melted snow wherever he walked.

    On one of the sessions where one of our members didn’t show up, he was being played by the DM. My character had a high charisma modifier. Not only did I barter a special gender-change potion down lower, I also convinced the NpC version of him to drink it. Long story short, when he came back his character was suddenly a woman. Only thing is, not only did his character not realize it at first, we also didn’t tell him but kept making subtle cues towards it. “I heal her” or “I tell ___ that she should rest” etc.

    Once, a player told me she wanted to play a Tabaxi warlock spirit medium, and I thought she said Taxi warlock spirit medium. As in, a warlock who uses their power to make a fantasy version of Über for the dead to travel to the world of the living and vice versa. It was such a random misunderstanding but such a great idea that she ended up playing that character in our next campaign.

    My greatest character Spectre was a half immortal from a clan of immortals that crafted arms, prosthesis, magical equipment...they worshipped a haphestus of sorts. The clan is attacked, mountain to rubble. Character crushed, he hooks mechanical limbs unto himself. He goes to be a thief, fails, the whole theifdom is after him, gets played by what he thought was a good guy (bad guy god) and help ends the world. The good people hate him, kingdoms send people to assassinate him, the guilds try to kill him, and so do every bad guy. He holds the key to destruction, and in the face of it all gets a curse of greed to never let it go.
    If he dies, the world ends.

    I played as an orc light cleric once, just so I can have a cool spell called "radiance of the dawn", and once I got it I would change class the next level to a fighter or monk.
    The reason for this is because rediance of the dawn turns you into a human grenade with 0 friendly fire damage, and I had a friend who was a giant who'd throw me and once I landed I exploded and started fighting afterwards

    Ford VonGodfreigh Strongest man in midland simply beat the sh#t out of the 12 devils,
    The DM allowed him to have a barrage of punches which he could only use while he rages,
    but he refused to believe in magic and just used logic to determine things like "That guy was struck by lightning" or "a meteor miraculously fell out of the sky and hit him as the young lad pointed at him" like that

    I enjoy seeing how creative i can push a character concept. when i found out about the aquatic human subspecies i IMMEDIATELY decided to play him as a resident of innsmouth badly trying to pass himself as a proper human. friendliest Jehovah's witness you'd ever meet for lord dagon, and eager to swap quaint regional traditions from his home town.
    my friend also played a final fantasy homebrew rpg once. i talked him into letting me play a blue mage after a certain level in exchange for giving my character the disadvantage "thinks he's a blue mage" until that level.

    I want to play as a land-squid one time.
    Pros:
    Can camouflage, effectively turning invisible.
    Can show any image or video on my body.
    Can wield multiple light objects
    Can squeeze through small holes and tunnels
    Can squirt ink (melee range)
    High intelligence
    High dexterity
    Cons:
    Is very slow (unless in water)
    Cannot wear any armor
    Can barely survive heat
    Very low strength
    Very low constitution
    Low charisma
    Low wisdom (if I get the definitions of intelligence/wisdom right. I'm creative, and can learn quickly, but I have very little knowledge of anything).
    Cannot speak.
    I'm open to suggestions. I think I'll play it as a rogue

    He thought he was the Devil
    But he had a lisp and pronounced it
    Debil but instead of the ‘v’ he said ‘b’
    And he had a chart that comprised all the actions he could take or how he should act by rolling a d6
    Most time he attacked himself
    Laughing goofy saying..
    “I’m the Debil” with cadence of rising pitches when he spoke

    Kitto. (Name pronounced 'kee-ih-toe'.) A cleric who had a dragon companion following him around. Kitto was an elf (but was unknown to everybody) who had blonde curly hair that hid his ears, sky blue eyes and glasses. Kitto's city got burnt down as a child and the dragon, on his mother's orders. Dragon companion has a power that allows him to transform into a humanoid so he can go into towns and stuff with Kitto if he pleases. He received this power from saving an ancient sorceress. Dragon accidentally turns humanoid when he thinks nobody is around, wanting to play a prank on the party. Dragons humanoid form makes him look like an elf with his dragon pupils and horns. In white robes and long blonde curly hair. Except for the fact that he glows angelically. He looks exactly like Kitto. The party sees him transform with their high perception rolls. Everybody is now extremely confused except for our elf cleric. Kitto realizes he looks exactly like him. After some conversation, found out that this radioactive dragon glowing mf (literally) is Kitto's biological father.

    don’t play d&d much, but i have a cousin who’s in uni who plays it with friends. he once had a friend play a character called Arthur Needsham, a paladin who was constantly on a search to find ham, because it’s apparently very rare where he came from. they had a situation where they were in a tavern and Arthur saw ham cooking in the kitchen, so he leapt over the counter and got them all kicked out. eventually the person who played him had to leave the group, and their canon explanation was that he found ham.
