Characters you'd Like to Play

While I usually get annoyed by people who want to bring campaign-specific feats or archetypes outside of said campaigns, I applaud taking that build.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

I normally don't have a problem with it with Pathfinder, since everything is either Core or the Inner Sea/Golarion, with there being a tier, and unless it's super-specific, I like to work it out with players. However, the Soviet infantryman requires a story feat I am working on just to work properly and be feasible.

Yeah, I'd like to work the Trench Fighter in somewhere, cause I love the Gunslinger class in pathfinder. It's one of the few where I can be stylish with shooting.

The Archer: I just shoot the enemy with my bow.

The Gunslinger: I shoot the front two table legs off the table in front of me so I can duck behind it for cover and then I shoot the lamp next to the bad guy to set the floor on fire And Then I shoot the guy with my last attack. (Dual Wielding Revolvers, while not easy to reload, is actually VERY fun once you get into it.)

I'm sure it is, when you can actually get revolvers

On the subject of characters I want to play, I have three characters I have planned for my friend's homebrew setting:

Wreave Wintersmith- a Magus item crafter, with a very mercenary outlook (and hopefully profession). Also can make armor and weapons, so he made every piece of armor and every weapon himself. Raised in a kingdom that is ruled by Lycanthropes, he himself despises them, and seeks to eventually contribute to their downfall.

Accano Gullivan- a Chelish Diva bard, an opera performer that was banished from two countries for his 'satires'. Full of himself, he will exploit Leadership for all its worth, and endeavor to build his own lavish opera house. Also a good violinist and decent comedian.

Varris Wastewalker/'Varris the Marked': I am having fun with the fluff-to-mechanics for this one. His parents were killed when he was young by robots (don't ask) and he was left with a strange tattoo that cannot be removed; abandoned by his tribe, a pair of Dwarven explorers took him in (Adopted: Warsmith). They were also killed in an attack, and he took up his father's sword and his mother's gun, and became a Savage Technologist. This barbarian archetype looks fun as hell, going for Sword and Gun in a rager.

Me and my friend's collaborative webcomic: Forged Men

Today I discovered that with relatively minimal modding to the Star Wars Saga Edition ruleset, it's possible to make a two-characters-in-one droid tank.

You know the SHIVs from XCOM? If you model the hull as a level-four droid, and the turret as another one, and stat them out appropriately, the results are appropriately devastating, especially since the hull processor can be optimized to dodge incoming fire and manage the shield system, while the turret processor can be optimized for bloody murder.

Now if only the campaign would let me play it...

EDIT: And then I went ahead and built a walking dumpster of a Large droid that can, quite literally, punch out a Dathomiri Rancor, a Challenge Level 11 beast, at level seven. In one round. With a single attack.

That's when both myself and the GM agreed that the walking dumpster is a great idea in the same way that Pun-Pun the kobold or the Druidzilla in D&D 3.5 is a great idea, and promptly decided to go some other route when it came to building characters.

Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.

I want to play a Daine expy Druid. It would be fun.

Maybe also a bard. I always liked the plucky comic relief.

A dwarf with a high pitched voice.

I want to play a character that actually dies at some point. I still haven't gotten around to doing that yet. That isn't due to lack of trying either. One of my recent characters was a drunkard with a death wish in a horror campaign. He somehow not only survived, but ended up in better shape than he started in. Maybe a proper tragic hero will get me a good death scene.

A paladin who has a crisis of faith and becomes a Paladin of Freedom.

D&D 4e.

Warforged Druid. Named Primus.

Turns into a magical ATV.

I'd like to play a twilight solar craftsman that invents things while drunk.

In my first ever campaign this week I'm going to be playing a Lizardfolk wizard. Who will gain a lizard as a familier. Named Eddie. And thanks to some unlucky rolls, has a grand total of 1 hit point. So he's going to be using the halfling monk as a human shield most of the time.

Sylon Malthus, Heretek Logician. Guilty of renouncing the Emperor, dabbling in xenotech, and innovation.

A gleeful bodger interested in alien weaponry and forbidden archeotech - give him a pile of scavenged weapons and a large enough toolbox, and he'll come up with a Gauss pistol powered by standard lasgun batteries. Or a shoulder-mounted prism cannon. Also sympathizes with the Iron Warriors.

A coworker and I are preparing for a Post Apocalypse / Steampunk game using d20 Modern. We haven't built characters yet, but he likes my suggestion for writing up a gnomish were-ferret^note you can't use a were-rabbit because that opens the door for too many Monty Python jokes. Meanwhile I'm going to be making a cross between Agatha Heterodyne and, depending on the rest of the part's alignment, either Mrs. Weasley or Dolores Umbridge.

We don't know yet what the rest of the players have decided to do, but the two of us are aiming for derailing as quickly as possible.

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw

A wizard specializing in making magic items for the rest of the party and him/herself. I'd probably end up several levels lower than everyone else, but oh well. Plus if it turns out that my fellow party members are giant assholes, I can charge them for armor and weapons that will turn around and start killing them when I say the command word.

“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse. Inevitable." - Taylor Hebert

An Italian priest who gets roped into helping out a group of gangsters, starting as the party's moral compass, but slowly becoming more and more ruthless, until he's the worst of the group.

I want to play halfling or kobold or gnome—something small—who speaks only in memes. maybe for a one off campaign. or something, but everything s/h says is, like, in Doge speak," or lolcat.....

Not sure if I actually want to play this or just think the concept is fun, but in D&D: a Ranger with favored enemy "Named Villains." (so, she gets her favored enemy bonuses against the Big Bad, The Dragon, the Quirky Miniboss Squad, but not nameless Mooks or monsters).

Have a great day everyone!

A barbarian werewolf (i.e. lycanthrope archetype, wolf) in D&D 3.5. With a big-ass zweihander.

I'm pretty sure the gross multiclassing will come to bite me in the ass, but I have a thing for werewolves. I don't know why. Must be my furry side.

Expect your GM to never name any enemy...

Worldbuilding is fun, writing is a chore

I've been dying to play a bear at some point. Not necessarily an anthropomorphic one or a shapeshifter that can turn into a bear (though those would be acceptable). I'm wanting to just play a bear. I might try some variety of it in the Temple of Elemental Evil game if I lose my current character.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

Are you shooting for a "Lord Bearington" situation?

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

my Ex-fiance did that once in a 20s campaign.

@421 I've considered that, but upon review, I'm not even sure if I want to go that route. Maybe I'd be an uplifted bear that masquerades as another character's animal companion. Though there has been discussion that, should my current character in a Temple of Elemental Evil campaign bite it without life-restoring magic handy, I would cycle in a werebear paladin (granted, due to the level adjustment and the bear hit dice counting as levels, he'd only be level 3, but still... werebear paladin!).

Suffice to say, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to my pro-bear agenda.

I will say, though, that Sir Bearington did inspire me in a different direction - in a different Pathfinder game, I went with a deaf oracle. The GM asked how I planned on communicating with others, when I pointed out that the rules (which I looked up upon hearing about Sir Bearington) allowed me to get the gist of conversations and read lips with Sense Motive, and that I could effectively communicate non-verbally with Bluff. The GM thought this was entertaining, and so the character goes.

Hmm.. I would have to say an expy of Protoman.

While discussing the DFRP's Paranet Paper Everglades Campaign I had the best idea for a character set there.

High Concept:"Bearer of Mordreds Sword"

Basically, Mordreds Sword (I go with hollywood history and call it Clarent) is the *Anti* Amorrachius.

Instead of a Nail from the Cross in its hilt, it has a Coin of the Blackened Denarius in its Blade. The Holy Power, mechanically, is replaced with Demonic Copilot representing the Fallen Angel inside the blade. (Due to the coin being worked in it his active powers are based on the sword, not the wielder, as opposed to a real "host").

Now why is that fun?

Because in the Everglades is a guy who might be the Green Knight :D

Also, the Trouble:"The Sword of Father Issues" sounds fun.

Now I only have to make a will save to not pattern how the wielder looks after Saber of Red
