Probably the best/strangest Ive seen was a character of mine: Baron Gern, the Redeemer Paladin, in Kingmaker.
We were some where along in the third book, returning to our Capitol, sorting through our loot, and when we found a deck of cards. For some odd reason, the GM decided to give us a Harrow Deck of Many Things. Fil, an inquisitor and our high priest felt that, as rulers, we were obligated to risk ourselves to better the kingdom. He drew a pair of good cards. Next up, Perrian, a ranger and our Spymaster, drew the Keep(modified to the standard DoMT Keep that gives a castle more appropriate for Kingmaker), and the Fiend.
An ancient black dragon soon gave chase, while we were looked for a suitable location for the new castle. The dragon swooped down, ignorant ofour attempts to dissuade it, and picked up Perrian. It was at this time that Perrian's player decided that "50 feet above the dragon" was the best place for the castle, reasoning that the creature would hardly stop at slaying only one person. The GM ruled that it hit the dragon full-on! Then reminded the player that he was still in the dragon's claws. He asked for the player to roll fortitude with an arbitrarily high DC. Player failed and left the room to roll a new character, while the GM worked out what happened. He gave Fil's player and I exactly thirty seconds, real time, to react. I scoured my sheet, gave the GM the most serious look I could manage, and handed him a note. "I casts Paladin's Sacrifice". The GM was silent for a moment, before the GM called Perrian back in, to tell him that he was alive. Sitting in the middle of a castle-crater, but alive. Perrian was confused, Fil was blood-spattered, the GM was stunned, and Gern was distributed in a fine pink must throughout the surrounding hex.
