What was the most difficult character you have ever role played whether in gaming or PnP doesnt matter, would like to see how creative you all have been. I had two. one was a paladin named Salance who had taken a vow of silence and could only speak on holy ground. Many interesting interactions with that one. But my favorite was a Half orc Assassin Named Delduwathe (Horror of the night shadows) who was traviling in a party with 3 (yes 3) Paladins. His only magic item was a necklace that prevente alignment detection. He wore a Hawk mask that he had convinced the paladins was because of a curse on him from a paricular Hag he was hunting and if he ever removed it he would die. Worked great except for the final battle, the group decided to leave me behind with one other party member they didnt trust, which worked out well . I got to kill him and blame him for breaking in the supply room and wound up getting rewarded by the few party members who managed to return alive 1mage 2rogues and 1 paladinout of a party of 7.

so lets hear your best.

Once on an NWN RP server, I chose to create and roleplay a half-blind female mage, who carried around her 'mage walking stick' and relied on her panther familiar as a 'guide dog' to help her get around. It was actually quite interesting and challenging to play, because as you can imagine her interactions were limited, and she would have problems navigating tricky terrains. What really interested me was how players on that server quickly responded - I had characters helpfully pointing out a certain path, being really kind to her etc, once they learned that she had 'visual problems'. Best yet, the system allowed me to switch to controlling the panther familiar so I could type out interactions and "speech" for him i.e *raises a paw*, *bristles at stranger*, *purrs*, etc, and make up for all the things that his mistress had difficulty with. People also really seemed to like the idea of a panther familiar interacting with them. Once there was a big scene in the town square because the panther had ate and "choked" on the meat someone had given him, and had "collapsed" on the ground and "stopped breathing" - and naturally, his mistress was in tears. Drew a big crowd, and eventually a cleric "healed" the panther, which was really awesome.

The only problem though was that her limitations, quite naturally, were a barrier for her to go on dungeon raids / fighting quests like others - I couldn't see how it would be possible. So most of the time I RPed her as a quiet, peace-loving type who liked to meditate alone and cultivate her magic skills bit by bit. She also ended up spending a LOT of time at the lakes fishing. Eventually I got a little bored and called the whole thing off, but she was really one of the most fun characters I've ever played.

[Servant of Nature]

On my NwN server, I was asked to do a roleplaying event. I had to create a good storyline, but the other DMs took care of that, it was my job to subtlety keep the group on the railroad tracks, however I wanted more of a challenge.



I played a young girl who had her tongue, one eye, and one ear cut off by a priestess of Loviatar. She was the daughter of a murdered priest of Illmater. It was really, really difficult for me. I had her go in the wrong direction often due to missing an eye, answering questions oddly due to her hearing impairment, and obviously had communication issues in general because of her tongue. She knew how to read and write, but only just, so often made grammatical errors or didn't know what to say, so she responded in grunts and sobs. I managed to get them to the temple, but it took I think three straight nights of roleplaying, and they were so anxious to get it over with, they ignored the girl, who got killed by another priestess. The father was devastated, and I think he may have killed himself after.



Sorry it's rather vague, I can't really remember it clearly.

I once played a halfling thief in a pen and paper D&D game that really, really wanted to be a paladin. He neither had the physical stature nor moral fortitude for the job but did his best to live up to his dream.

He met his end when he overheard the other rogue in the party conspiring with a vampire the party was hunting. Instead of sneaking off to warn the rest of the party, he leapt out to confront his friend and try to talk him into repenting. Needless to say he was ripped apart by the vampire while the other rogue went through his belongings.

Another pen and paper character wasn't my character at all. I was playing a mage that got taken prisoner by a group of dopplegangers. The DM asked me to play the doppleganger that was posing as my character. My dupe was the same class as my character but not as high level so I had to be creative to pull off the charade believably. I was in charge of warding the parties house and made a big show of setting up magical defenses and used cantrips to kill a rodent that crossed a non-existent ward making it look deadly. As party member after party member got picked off, distrust ran rampant and yet everyone still confided all their secrets to me. I played as my character while dropping hints periodically like being kind to NPCs I actually hated or not knowing names I should have known. It was a blast.

Except for the part where I was discovered and killed, the survivors funding the search for the real me by tearing pages out of my spell book and selling them...

I've never had difficulty RPing a character. Though I refused to RP Maria after her lord demanded she murder a family she'd cared for and she did it.

Ahhh slowly but surely we are getting more posts very good and very interesting concepts for characters

If you like role-playing, take a look at this project. It's the story of the elf Laurelei, an elf Grey Warden that is returning home after the war. Anyone can add to the story in the "Discussions" tab, under the "Laurelei - The story so far...". If you decide to give it a try, please read the "Read this first" thread first. Thanks.

Something a lot like this happened in a group I was in, once. The party wizard, who had been with the group since nearly the beginning and everyone trusted, was killed and doppleganged. The sad part? We all believed his false evidence that the killer was an illithid, and he picked us all off one by one, except for my character - who only survived because he woke up when a fireball went off in the inn, barely survived it, and then jumped out the window and ran for his life. Yeah.

I'm not quite sure who the most difficult character I've ever played was. There have been many that I've liked or have been interesting to me over the years, but difficult? Hmmm. Ah. Yes. There was one campaign I was in where the DM decided that we would have randomly assigned flaws, numbering one plus one for every point of level adjustment the character had. I decided to play a Githyanki ranger (forget his name, though), so I ended up with three flaws. Those three ended up being hunchbacked, monstrous foot, and sickly. So he was a bit of a wreck. The story was that there had been some great catastrophe and everybody developed these flaws after it, so I had some fun trying to figure out how he had been before and what he had gone through then. The whole campaign didn't last very long, though.

Probably my favourite would be Vexielzethix, the Tarterian dragon assassin I'm playing currently (and have been for quite a while). He started out as an NPC in one of my campaigns, as more or less a plot hook - he had been captured and tortured by the villain for decades (the PCs freed him), so I figured that must have done something to his mind. He's extremely paranoid, really does believe everybody is out to get him, and sometimes has episodes where he blanks out and doesn't know what he's doing. He does manage to be a (mostly) functioning member of the party nonetheless. He refuses to trust anyone, since the way he ended up there in the first place was that his oldest friend essentially sold him out. He's been right about not trusting people on several occasions, but the rest of the party tends to think 'oh, it's just Vex being paranoid again'.
There was one time where another member of the party was murdered in a mysterious way, and since he couldn't remember for sure what he had been doing at the time, the rest of the party blamed him. They eventually found the evidence, but he spent quite a bit of that adventure trying to prove he didn't do it.

I also had a Rakshasa illusionist/cleric of Ravanna named Tajnoshi back in AD&D, but that was a long enough time ago I've forgotten most of the details of the campaign. It was quite a high level campaign, and he was basically working directly for his deity to unseat the deity the other cleric in the party worshipped. There was a lot of subterfuge type stuff. I remember that he convinced most of the other members of the party to side with him, but I don't remember how he did it.

The Githyanki was the only one I really had much difficulty with past the first session or two, though.

The rest of you guys have got some really interesting stories, by the way.
