One of my favorite characters I’ve ever had fits perfectly into #15. She was a tiny goblin that was on a quest to collect as many skulls as possible and had a sheep that she won in a contest as her steed. (She was about 2.5 feet tall and the rest of the party was human-sized or larger, so I had to roll endurance checks to keep up with them sometimes if we were traveling a long distance.)
One I did was “joke character who ended up being very serious.”
I’ve done a few of these, but I once did a #5/#10 combo. I made a character years ago whose only purpose was to blow people’s heads off with a .44 Magnum. He had virtually no other relevant skills. It was a GURPS/Car Wars mash-up, the former for roleplay and the latter for vehicular combat since we were in the Car Wars universe. I wasn’t much use for anything until the shooting started.
RIP Jerry “Magnum” Carrost: you were a terrible character, but you were fun.
#5 is always fun. Especially when I accidentally become #1
Definitely not my fursona
Does D&D even have any official furry races outside turning a monster into a PC or the two bird-type people? 🤔
I know Pathfinder has Kitsune. But it’s only “definitely not my fursona” because, afaik, there is no dog people race 🤣
Not counting Tabaxi, Leonins, Shifters, Minotaurs, Satyrs, Harengons, Loxodons, Giffs, and potentially Bugbears? No, I don’t think so. Because Yuan-ti, Lizardfolks, Dragonborns, Tortles, Kobolds, Locathahs and Grungs count as scalies. And I think Aarakocras, Kenkus and Owlins count as feathery.
Wait, how are we handling druids? Cause they can be any race…
Does D&D even have any official furry races
- Centaur
- Hadozee
- Harengon
- Leonin
- Minotaur
- Satyr
- Tabaxi
And that’s just the ones with fur, there’s plenty for the scalies too
Do centaurs count as furry? Centaurs are half-regular-person and half-regular-bestiality, and furries always seemed like a bit more of a blend.
Half-human and half-horse sounds like the bestiality had already happened!
Can I interest you in hearing the gospel of the Shoony?
you can always be an awakened animal or take the beastkin versatile heritage too
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: in PF2, you can be any type of character you can imagine
i was going to say you can’t be a floating eye with tentacles for limbs but a leshy could easily be shaped like that
and if not a leshy, a fleshwarp could be that too
I can’t play with my friend because we play the same guy.
Both rogue. Both street tough types rather than the shadowy assassin type. Both used to end up taking a couple of levels of either Bard or fighter and ended up with a swashbuckler. No strength, all dex and cha.
We did play together a few times and would swap out which one of us got to play that guy. The other always played a very angry wizard. Just grumpy as shit. Good at a lot of things, but preferred to either fireball or magic missile his way out of situations. Talking to NPCs? I think I’ve got potions brewing. Must be off!
Before we played together we played the same MUD separately. Yep, same character. We ran into each other from time to time.
In high school we played at the same place but a couple of years apart. I started going when he left for the Navy. The guy who DM’ed there said my character reminded me of that guy a lot.
I want to play BG3 with him remotely and both play swashbucklers.
Have you ever thought about taking him on a trip to El Dorado?
Play identical twins.
Me and my best friend played halfling twin brawlers one time who would use each other as improvised weapons and crawl in big guys Shadow if the Colossus style. It was the most fun thing ever, but the DM turned out to be the “if someone doesn’t lose a limb during every encounter I have failed” kind of DM so it didn’t last long.
Separated at birth. Completely oblivious to their similarity.
If we didn’t both know who our fathers were and if he weren’t a few years older that would absolutely describe us anyway. Went to school not far from each other and I played baseball against his younger brother, then was on the team with his brother for fall ball. Different churches that were part of the same cult. Similar teenage interests. Same social circles just a few years apart. Same branch of the military and same rate (this is where we went from being aware of each other to being friends). Both married and divorced young. Super similar career paths. Both settled in the same large city several hours from our small hometowns (I got here first, for once) and played music with the same people. Super similar adult interests completely separate from our teen interests. It’s fucking freaky. We didn’t even realize it for years until it was pointed out.
He eventually moved out east while I stayed. I’m one of like 3 people he still keeps in contact with in the state.
Reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/Dzner6zTEVs
6 sessions in and no one has identified/mentioned the person my character is based on, probably because I’m not good enough at doing a Rodney Dangerfield voice
No respect. I tell ya!
Where does the “ridiculous minmaxed character to game the mechanics” fit in? We had a miner/scribe once.
I think that’d fall into #8, biggest explosions
- Whatever lets me create the biggest explosions
Also missing: pure random-roll character who makes no sense and contributes nothing other than needing to be rescued a lot.
That’s actually an intentional mechanic in Monster of the Week. The Mundane gets bonus XP by wandering off on their own and pushing the plot forward by needing to be rescued a la Xander.
And the corollary, overbuilt min-max character based solely on researching the meta for hours but only rolls good at things they’re not built to do
I’ve done too many of these. I tend to fall on 1 often though.
From the title I thought this was going to be about personal computers and upon opening the image I was very confused for a second.
No, I don’t look at what community the post is from when I’m scrolling all.
“Okay, tell us about your character.”
“Hm? Oh… human fighter.”
“That’s it?”
“Mm-hm.”
“What do they look like?”
“Middle sliders on the character creator.”“Any motivations?”
“Do quests to earn money.”“How about a backstory?”
“Did quests and earned money.”
haha that’s cool and I’m not a furry
Haha, yeah, the fact that I played almost exclusively women and my few masculine characters still often had more feminine features and mannerisms was totally just to challenge myself. Never a subconscious exploration of my deepest desires.
Says the now VERY out and proud about it transwoman.
