Commoner Adventurer: All stats are 10. You start the campaign at level 0, no class. Throughout the campaign, the characters attain a class based on their actions.

Wrong class for the race: Halfling Barbarians, Half-Orc Wizard, etc. This can be a lot of fun, as instead of having an optimized character that can deal a lot of damage, you have to think through things and come up with strategies. I personally have always liked playing characters that are small that have to use their wits to survive in combat. Oh, I like playing a tank once in a while. Currently, I’m in two different sessions. In one, I’m playing a Dragonborn Cleric that has served as the melee support for the party’s paladin. The other session I’m playing a halfling rogue Soul Knife that rides the barbarian into battle. I have a lot more fun with the Rogue.

I think I would dig playing one of a part of a multi-country collective of paladins that congregate when there’s a threat to the realm, very much in the vein of Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.

A dark cleric.

They only heal so they others can suffer more pain. I think it would be fun to roleplay that kind of twisted mind that is helpful to the party but pulls it a clipboard and asks in a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is the pain?

Just finished reading the beta for Everspark TTRPG and all of these are possible. Excited to play it with my teens.

I’m a simple man, a Jinx Artillerist Artificer. (Jinx from the show Arcane)

If’n I had a group to play with, I’d be keen to try a character with some sort of handicap relevant to their class: a one arm fighter or a mute caster or some such. Would be fun to learn how to workaround things like vocal spell components cannot be used or only one hand weapons.

A former wizarding college student who got in a magic accident that scrambled his brain and awakened sorcery magic within him. But he thinks he’s a wizard, so he carries around spellbooks and components and magic foci (they’re all just non magical junk). Actually got to play him in a one shot but he’s campaign-worthy

Literally just me transported to Faerun and I’m a 4 hp commoner, just to see how long I can survive with bullshit shenanigans. IRL I have 0 fighting and weapons skills wish me luck lol

A gelatinous cube who ingested a Headband of Intellect. Wants to become a professional philosopher.

An evil lich who is so incompetent at being evil that he keeps blundering into doing profoundly good deeds. (Overthrows a monarchy, monarchy turned out to be an oppressive vampire family. Causes a famine, agricultural reform prevents monoculture that was destroying the ecosystem. Necromances a dead goblinoid tribe, saves them from the hellish afterlife of subservience to Maglubiyat. Etc.) This one is probably better as an NPC however.

I had this idea for a wizard who was kind of crazy and believed he was the king of a nation that doesn’t exist. He would see the rest of the party as his nobility and task them with enforcing laws he made up on the spot. In combat, he would use “control” type magic like paralysis and counterspells to lock down his enemies, pronounce guilty verdicts, and issue death sentences which his noble companions would carry out. I don’t know if the spell list in D&D would support this kind of gameplay, though.

Centaur taxi service.

Reborn in denial of their undeath, just assumes everything is just a “flesh wound” a la Black Knight.

Wrong Way to use Healing Magic style cleric that incapacitates their opponents but leaves them at full health.

I’m currently playing a Gith Drakewarden in an Out of the Abyss campaign that was transported to the underdark accidentally by the Astral dragon egg they stole.

Bugbear rogue with Polearm Mastery

Any. At all. I’ve been itching to play for a few years now!

Lizard Blizzard Wizard

Way more than I have the time for

More characters that don’t rely on magic. Rogue was awesome. Doing a monk now.

I want to play a wizard/barbarian that treats rage like another, different spell
