So, just think of some of the strangest character concepts you can. It can be based on fluff, or unusual combinations of feats. It can be optimized, or terrible, serious or funny, as long as it's weird.
I'll start with something simple. A Human Barbarian with Racial Heritage (Troll) and Gift of Sight
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I ran an NPC wizard for an extra tough escort quest once, using a combination of 3.5 and Pathfinder material. Very helpful guy - with a max HP score of 0. He was constantly staggered and usually dying, and had a nasty habit of coughing out gouts of blood while incanting.
Which is what my players damn well get for asking for an escort mission. I hate escort missions.
I see your barbarian having problems with that, as he doesn't have troll regeneration.
Interesting idea, though.
How weird is weird?

Use your own subjective definition of weird. That way, when people disagree with you, you get to have a 500 page argument about it.
The bananaman. All bananas, all the time.
Nine classes. In his final (18th level) form:
Inquisitor (Groetus) 5, Bard (archaelogist) 2, Fighter 2, Monk (martial artist) 2, Ranger (Skirmisher) 2, Rogue 2, Barbarian 1, Cleric (Groetus) 1, Wizard (transmuter) 1.
His BASE saves (due to the multi-class adding) were all higher than a 20th level monk, and he could potentially use almost any wand or scroll. His BAB (downside) was lower than the party sorcerer's...
1) Gnome Mad Dog Barbarian - kangaroo mounted lancer.
2) Kitsune witch with fox familiar. Bonus points if you can figure out how to get a dire fox animal companion.

Why would you ever need that many classes?

Here's a strange concept (not build...just idea) from my best friend. This idea got my friend back into the game when he was on the verge of giving it up permanently. He's played it on multiple occasions with...mixed...success, but is always good for a laugh.
His name is Halon-Ten (because at one pint my friend became SO BORED of the game he started naming his characters with number).
He is the (was) the Lesser Deity of Poor Planning and Misfortune, who, through no fault of his own (according to him), has lost his godhood. Every time he falls (and it happens A LOT), mortals loose all memory of him. He is CONSTANTLY on a quest to restore his previous divinity.
The beautiful thing is, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Some DMs go with it, others out right oppose it but no matter what you say, you won't convince him. What really makes him is the flair my friend would play him with. You get hilarious situations like:
Being HOPELESSLY outnumbered and he shouts "I shall make this offer once, surrender now or THEY kill you!"
or
"Death isn't so bad, I'll put in a good word with the Nerull for you."
"Who?"
"You wouldn't know him."
Love it, Rapthorn.

I had a bard/pied piper sort of guy using the Boot Knife to attack people. Piping, and kicking people in the face. The build isn't all that fantastic, but it is surprising what you could do to people when you have bonuses from Perfomance, Heroism, Arcane Strike and a few other buffs.
Suddenly, hopping on 1 foot and piping and kicking people in the face isn't quite as stupid as it sounds.
Well, I did always want to make "Saves Man" whose one purpose was to have saves as high as human...ly...possible...

3rd (1/day): Aqueous Orb (1)Richard "Orange" Ajennt has always wanted to be a Lumberjack and woodsman. From a young age he was fascinated at other people's complacence to the encroaching floral menace that permeates the land. He's dedicated his life to fighting this danger, and his single-minded dedication to the eradication of the plant hordes has granted him certain specialized skills to aid him in his crusade.
Stalwart companion of Jackie Woods, the two work in tandem much of the time, both in combat and in business. Rick's skill at woodcutting is unparalleled, and he sees it as both his duty and his privilege to provide high quality lumber at low prices to his friend.
He is a true destroyer of plants, and can make them tremble with fear at the whirring sound of his serrated doombringer. The sight of woodchips flying, leaves falling, and flower petals scattering galvanizes Rick, and brings dismay to his leafy foes in return.
As an aside, I like the idea of thinking of the Forest Friend spell as being plants being too afraid to mess with Rick and his posse.
There was also the idea I had for an Inquisitor of Sun Wukong, who I always thought would be great to play as the "Fun Police".
"No, that is not the proper way to prank someone. Let me show you."
"You are not drinking enough! Here, try using this funnel!"
Etc.
How about a Kensai Magus that uses a boot blade as his chosen weapon? Or a Dwarven boulder helmet?

A summoner whose Eidolon specializes in Profession (Maid)

I play a paladin of Shelyn in PFS. He is was born with a medical dependence/critical addiction to what is essentially the Golarion equivalent of LSD.
He has dealt less than his character level in damage on average across his adventures. He has no idea that the Pathfinder Society exists. He brought a skunk into the Ho-Jin Tapestry's holding chamber. He was banned from Cayden Cailean's largest church for suggesting the raising of liquor prices. He vomited at the end of a wedding. He figures out the depths of holes by jumping into them and trying to move his legs fast enough to measure the "feet". His primary weapon does 1d4+1 damage total. His Armor Class is a measly 18. He frequently rolls a negative number on his perception checks. And he went kite flying in the middle of a dungeon crawl.
In spite of all of this, he is one of the most versatile and effective characters at every table he's been at and is welcome to come back to all of them since he is a party buffer whose buffs stack with all others. He even made a party of bards not only viable, but effective.

I want to play a Deaf Oracle / Summoner. You can pay a wizard to cast Baleful Poly for a very reasonable price, per Core. So get BP cast on yourself -- bat is a great choice. Make sure you make your Will save, and arrange ahead of time for a dispel if you do not. You get +6 dex, -4 str, +1 nat AC, diminutive = +4 AC, +4 attacks, etc. Plus low light vision, blindsense 20 ft, and flight.
You are deaf, so all your spells are silent for free. Take the trait that lets you cast one spell with a meta feat at -1 level cost. Make it CLW and still spell. Now you can cast still silent light, spark, CLW, true strike, feather fall, blur, displacement, oracle's burden, blindness/deafness, darkness, deeper darkness, grace, borrow fortune, dim door, etc etc all at zero extra level cost. And you can use your Still Spell feat to cast others.
Make your eidolon a biped with robes, a hat that covers his forehead, and tons of UMD. Voila! You tell your pals you meet you are an oracle/sorcerer/MT (the eidolon) with a familiar (you!)
Sweet strat: Cast True Strike, share it with the eidolon, and then have the eidolon attack in the same round. Tell your pals you have the ability to cast quickened true strikes! Ditto quickened CLWs, etc etc. :-)
Well, I did always want to make "Saves Man" whose one purpose was to have saves as high as human...ly...possible...
Dammit.
Yep. His base saves by the end were: Fort +17 Ref +13 Will +15. Ability and item modified that came to Fort +23 Ref +17 Will +18. Higher while raging, of course.
A base 20th level monk is +12s across the board.
Note that I could have done better if I had added a couple more classes instead of topping off the last 3 of inquisitor, but by the end the GM had this eye twitch every time I leveled into a new class and so I demurred...
The funny thing was, I had not set out to build anything specific and was not trying to min-max. The character just naturally wanted to be able to do as many different things as possible, as befits the Deicidarion of Groetus.

Wanna point out that technically you cannot have an Eidolon that looks like an ordinary dude, they need to have some kind of weird feature (though it could be subtle or hidden under clothing).

Reminds me of this character I made. It was supposed to have
- 20 levels- each class only 1 level
- all legal (i.e. requirements met)
- remain somewhat functional
The build below is without equipment except for two masterwork weapons to get its attack bonuses etc. Its saves, as in your example, are quite impressive... :-)
It was never intendd for playing though.

Oh my god!

It has lots of little features and abilities, and with the right items you should be able to steer it into somewhat useful directions. Using wands and scrolls, boosting its AC with vindicator shield, massive saves and reroll abilities it should at the very least be a survivor.
I could imagine a character that feels divine power but just does not find out what its calling really is. Plus the char is just too much of a rowdy and wastes the time fighting, which keeps him away from studying ... ;-)

Strangest Oracle Concept ever.
My dual cursed Oracle of Metal is a human... but he is LG and worships Rovagug. His skin is glowing pink and yellow with green spots, his hair is translucent and looks like running water, his eyes look like completely black pits of despair, and his smile creeps up his face all the way to his temples... And his Blackened curse is really that his arms are made out of marshmallows. And his Wrecker curse manifests in everything being transformed into balloon versions of the item. Also, he farts rainbows. And he uses his Iron Weapon ability to make giant clown faces to beat people down with. Why not? I'm only changing the 'fluff'!!!
That's not a character concept that's just someone purposefully missing the point in a spectacular way to try to "win".

I am fairly sure you can't simply do that, since eidolons have to be fantastical creatures and all.
Admittedly, I did say 'simply'. It is perfectly possible with a normal disguise check, I suppose (I know an eidolon could do that at least; hard to tell what synthesist does with this). And with just the skilled evolution, you can pretty much blast the penalties for 'different race' out of the water. Personally, I always like to think of eidolons with the skilled(disguise) evolution as slight shapeshifters, which certainly would make them fantastical.
How about an alchemist who believes they are a sorcerer?
A morbidly obese female summoner whose somatic component is to give birth to their summons. At the higher levels of summon monster, they may have twins or triplets whenever they summon creatures from a lower level list.
