Player brought to the table:
Samurai Wu-Jen Irda who had been constructed as weapon by an unknown power (2nd edition). So lets see: Oriental Adventures + Dragonlance + a touch of Warforged (before Eberron existed, so not sure how it would apply - but dang if it wasn't a close match) mashup. A powergamer package - except he hardly ever cast a spell and shot every opponent with explosive arrows for no apparent reason. Did I mention he had amnesia, so he didn't have a clue how he got there?
