| Alternative Character Classes (not serious) |
|
Guys.....bored with the same old characters.....elf this...half-orc that...well how about some ideas for new classes.
I have quickly stuck a few together...not really that clever but you get the idea...I m sure you guys can be much more imagiinative and amusing.
This was prompted by my young boy watching as I created my six characters for Icewind Dale 2. I never could really explain to him why I couldnt have Postman Pat in my party...hmmm
Half-Orc Salesman - special ability of Boredom but has a -3 to charisma
Elf Receptionist - No real bonuses or skills but she's got nice tits
Dwarven Plumber - special abilities of Haggle and Spot Traps but -2 to Common Sense
Halfling Hairdresser - Comes with Combing skill and +2 Scissors and Magic Spray
Half-Elf IT Engineer - Has a +2 to Strength but -10 to Int...Base skill of PowerDown...any probs he can turn things off & on again.
Human Aromatherapist - Special ability of Chill-Out. +5 to Charisma making her "too nice" (annoying). Equipped with +2 Pestle & Mortar.

With access to a special spell -
Power Word, Cost
Conjuration
Level: Plumber 1
Components: V,S
Casting Time: Just over an hour (only applicable if charging a "consulting fee" on a per hour basis)
Range: One Household
Target: One Living Creature
Duration: Could take weeks
Saving Throw: Phone a consumer Rights Program
Spell Resistance: Buy a "How to Plumb Manual"
Unlike many other "Power Word" Spells, Power Word, Cost actually needs a somantic component. The actual casting involves looking at the "plumbing related problem" for the alloted casting time, poking it with a wrench, standing up, shaking you head and then muttering the the final words to complete the encantaion "Ooooo, that looks nasty, it's gonna be expensive - I suspect you may need the whole system replacing". Once the spell is cast it instantly triples the cost of any work that needs doing.

What about a HUMAN RPGDOT EDITOR? Can regenerate without sleep, has a +3 bonus for spotting scrolls and a -5 penalty for getting links right.

There was a HILARIOUS article on GameSpy about the "10 Least Popular D&D Character Classes."
My favorite of Dungeon Decorator.
Dungeon Master: You enter a dungeon. What do you look for?
Human Thief: I look for traps!
Half-Elf Dungeon Decorator: I look for splashes of color . . . |

I found the article and it was actually really funny..
I post the link here:
http://www.gamespy.com/top10/january02/dndclasses/
EDIT: My personal favorite:
The Pacifist Cleric!
Dungeon Master: The orcs attack your party!
Pacifist Cleric: I remind them that violence solves nothing.
Dungeon Master: Okay ... they all decide to attack you.
Pacifist Cleric: I set myself on fire!
