I've made #97 as a a PC, but no one will let me play Padraig O'F$#%ing Bannon any more.
ReplyDeleteHe's a psychotically aggressive halfling with a chip on his shoulder regarding his height. Started life as a monk, but was thrown out for being too chaotic. Took a level of Rogue for the skills and Sneak Attack, then went Fighter, with the ultimate goal of taking levels in Reaping Mauler.
If he wasn't nutpunching people (definition of a sneak attack if I've ever seen one) he was either grappling them into submission or using the "fighting opponents 2 sizes larger" feats such as Giantbane and Confound the Big Folk.
He even had the skill "Perform: Insults to make a sailor blush and incite a saint to violence."
He doesn't get playtime any more because the rest of my group is averse to the Grappling rules. :(
That was jsut awesome.
ReplyDelete#19 was my favorite.
Wow, that was awesome. Love the Aquabats reference at #25.
ReplyDelete(Just stumbled across this blog, BTW, and had to add it to my LiveJournal feed right away. Keep up the good work!)
#31 is my favorite, though the list if rife with possibilities. My game world has just become a very crazy place!
