>>97911860>bookworm nerd wizard>elven archer >2H sword using warrior who never takes his armor off
>>97911860Oracle/Prophet/Fortune Teller whichever fits the theme the most, who is actually evil and lies to the party in hopes of decieving them (actually has future telling powers, just lies to them about the content to fuck them over)
>>97911860A nobleman fallen on hard times with some social skills and some combat skills.
Working class locksmith. Business hasn't been good, so his wife and kids have pushed him to pick up odd-job contract work to pay the rent.Some DMs will pick up on the wife bit and we go full boomer comic/sitcom dad. Other times we play him up more as a "dungeon trap plumber" who treats the average delve like he's here to fix a toilet. You can play him as either a professional who's seen it all, and will complain that he doesn't have the right screwdriver to disarm this type of exploding rune pressure plate, or as a tag-along who's good at what he does but is in way over his head for the danger pay.
>>97912087>Some DMs will pick up on the wife bit and we go full boomer comic/sitcom dad.Delightful.
>>97911860Wizard/Sorceror type who is confident in his abilities but resents that he has to travel with a party for safety because he considers martial characters to be dumb brutes and divine characters to be superstitious weirdos. Half-orc or tiefling who hates his own mixed ancestry and has to resist the call to evil constantly. Character who is racist against a species represented in the party. I think of it as a way to fight against metagaming since it doesn't make sense if everyone automatically trusts and likes each other in a Medieval setting.
>>97911860I’ve fallen in love with playing Dunks, as in Sir Duncan the Tall from “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” You get all the benefits of being a strength-focused martial and get to play a genuine idiot whose foolishness is overshadowed by their innate goodness. The character arc is likewise built-in as the Dunk starts as a nobody and becomes legendary simply through doing what adventurers are meant to do; save the world and help those in need.Bonus points if you get an Egg, but that’s usually fulfilled by another PC.
