looking for creating a new PC... and wanna make it roleplay based..
for now i've got only 2 ideas, and one came from another post in this forum:
- A gnome mounted, with a big animal like rabbit, squirrel etc.
- A goblin "sage" (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090901172202/gremlins/images/3/36/The _Brain_Gremlin.PNG)
any other ideas are welcome :)!
Kender. Any class. Any alignment.
thank you all :)
others ideas are welcome!
Kender. Any class. Any alignment.
God kender were awesome! I actually miss old dragonlance! Good old tasslehoff, Good times.
my sense of humour: i'm actually playing a gnome (gunslinger) who came from a noble family, but for "fool tradition" he fell on a pirate ship and became a pirate... his ship lasts one day, and the sea devour her..
(sorry for my mistakes...i'm not english XD)
now actually he's a PC who bite and taste things that don't know... always drinking rhum with a cup of tea (waste on the floor the tea and then drink the rhum... a tradition he says)... his reaction is usually "falling from clouds"
he actually think that our Asimaar Cleric of Sarenrae is a Vampire Necromancer that wanna resurrect all party as undead minions..
thanks all for the ideas... more are welcome! i'm trying to find the one that make me fall in love with :D

Give him/her some important, but mostly useless item, which is not to be leaved in any situation. Remember Indiana Jones and his hat, when they were escaping from the trap room of temple of doom.

Great idea.
Major Biff Biff -
Dump Int and Wis, keep Cha at least a 12.
Halfling Barbarian played like GIR. He had a pet sheep named Jerry, who was his "animal companion". Jerry wore a straw hat, which he always ate and Major Biff Biff would buy him a new one. He had no idea what people were talking about when they asked him about his military title.
Just change class to a new one every level, throw in NPC classes, PC classes, etc.
Trust me your Bard/Cleric/Fighter/Monk/Paladin/Ranger/Rogue/Sorcerer/Wizard/Alchemist/Cav alier/Inquisitor/Oracle/Summoner/Witch/Gunslinger/Magus will be the life of the party.
Kevin the Gnome Bard from hell.
Take one obnoxious Gnome. Add 1 accordion and no ranks in perform.
Purpose: Leech 1/party size of group XP.
Play for: Comic Relief.
Human Rogue with decent Int and Cha, maxed out Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive and Diplomacy. Watch Blackadder and absorb all the cynicism, sarcasm and snark you can take and build it into the character.
You're not a Lover or a Fighter, you're the guy who golf claps as the Barbarian bumbles into an ambush, makes sarcastic comments to any NPC who can't directly hurt the party and shamelessly both brown-noses and subtly mocks any authority figure. Take the Leadership feat and get a truly useless and stupid cohort who becomes the butt of your viciously funny jokes (they actually don't have to be useless, just not as smart as you).
Just make sure your group know that it's the character, not you and it should be okay. This guy could seriously annoy people but can be very funny.
Half Orc Barbarian that thinks he is the greatest thief in all the world, he picks locks and pockets with his pickaxe.
Half-Orc Earth Wizard with a pig as familiar and a flail as weapon (can get proficiency through alternate racial trait).
Stats: Int>con>str>dex>cha>wis
Dress like a peasant, at low levels save spells for dangerous fights and go into melee instead
The concept is fun but doesn't sacrifice too much power.
A dwarf with a Scottish/Irish influence that constantly twists current events and conversations to bring up his 'famous' Dwarven ale!
Cliché, but a player made that for a one shot, and damn it was fun.

Meh, I'm not that kind of thief...
thank you all again... i agree on what blackbloodtroll said... i don't mean to be completely useless.. but for the most funny, then i want too give my contribute to the party, maybe a minor one...
Over-vengeful wizard who inflicts people with inventive but ultimately harmless curses over perceived slights.
You could always try a character who isn't stupid but has some fundamental misunderstanding about something very important. Your Neutral Good Necromancer just can't see why people are upset by his small army of skeletons. It's not like anyone was using those bodies. He then proceeds to attempt good works using said undead. They could contruct a children's playground that no-one will go near, believing it to be haunted.
Anything that undermines or subverts expectations can be funny. A Half-Orc Barbarian who drinks tea from a china cup, loves the opera and wears a tuxedo could be just as funny as BARBARIAN AM SMASH. Just make sure you do things that your party don't expect at a time when they least expect it.
I've mentioned on the boards before, profession baking and craft basket weaving.
To just talk combat because I'm short for time, you in combat bake treats and weave baskets. Baskets you make will be big enough to game cover and hamper movement, and you can improvise weapons them. Bake treats that you put in you're basket that you use as throwing weapons, perhaps shaped like ninja stars.
Time to make the donuts

The classic gag mount for a gnome will be from 2e AD&D Spelljammer yore, i.e. the Giant Space Hamster! (and the tons of variants)
Just imagining the mount randomly grabbing the rider and stuffing him in a cheek pouch adds a lot of silliness in a game.
again thanks! :) you're giving a lot of ideas!

a lot of you are getting funny and awful confused
I once played a human Cavalier who was mute. Simply a birth defect where had had no vocal chords. He had a chalkboard and could understand everyone else just fine but he had to write down anything that was too complicated for gestures. It became really funny because I was LG and the only other player who could understand my gesturing easily was playing a LE tiefling Inquisitor and he was constantly telling the other party members what I meant, then getting disgusted with me for being a goody goody.

Agree!

I think it has been mentioned elsewhere, but you could play a Tetori (monk archetype based on grappling) modeled after the Abominable Snowman in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Hug people, call them "George" and punish them for pretending to be bunny rabbits.
ahaha XD the last was amazing!
Gnome sorcerer abyssal, take color spray. Scream "Taste the rainbow,Mother F'er!" every time you cast it. Use your scare spell-like then apologize.
Gnome: "I'm sorry you had to see he like that, but I was a little fazzled."
Call the character Skittles.
Catch phase is "I'm just a little gnoooome, a cute little gnooome." Then be an evil little bastard. Looking for b@!!~es.
Funniest character Mr. Fishy ever ran for. Can not remember the character real name.
My sense of humor would make me roll a comedy bard that does nothing but tell bad puns eventually gaining the power to kill people with them. T admit that I am a terrible person and this character could only maybe work in a one-shot.
Sometimes the best joke is on the players. This is what a friend of mine did:
1. never let anyone but the gm see his character sheet
2. make a half-orc barbarian with low Int and Wis to the point of being illiterate.
3. tell everyone that he was a wizard and have the character believe it himself.
4. use items and misdirection to hide his lack of spellcasting i.e. using alchemist's fire to cast "fireball" or claim his magic was "blocked."
5. wait how long it takes for people to figure it out.
6. after they do, have him figure out he's not a wizard but never let him admit it.
7. use his spellbook that he can't read and bludgeon his enemies to death with it. (might've homebrewed a feat that let's you do lethal damage with it.)
Admittedly it worked better on PbP but it was hilarious. I post it only as an example.
To be serious though, bards or rogues make the best rp characters. Maybe an illusion-specced bard that lowers the credibility of BBEGs by putting an unflattering illusion (think Snape in Neville's grandma's clothes) of them behind them while they give their evil speeches.

You could even go Heavens Oracle with Awesome Display to keep Color Spray as a useful spell into the mid-levels. Someone was complaining about how OP this was recently...

Contra some of the opinions here, I think you ought to go for a character is who is both funny AND effective. A couple examples:
1) You could play a Gnome Prankster. When you can, RP your Bardic Music effects (Mock, etc.) Also, you should carry with you a selection of garbage items to use for the Swap ability. For example, you might replace the necromancer's Wand of Infinite Badassedness (kept on his belt) with a rubber chicken.
2) Some of the Pathfinder enchantment spells can be both amusing and effective. Combine a the fey bloodline bonus with Spell Focus (enchantment), and you can have a hell of a lot of fun. Unnatural Lust is infantile, but Charitable Impulse, cast on the BBEG's hulking bodyguard, is comedy gold. Or (my personal favorite), cast Reckless Infatuation on one enemy and Unadulterated Loathing on another.
I have to see whether that spell is legal for PFS. I get third level spells soon, and Charitable Impulse fits this character perfectly.

Summoner/Druid.
The eidolon looks like a human adventurer. Use a Hat of Disguise and a nonmagical headband to hide the forehead tattoo.
The character uses wildshape to stay always in the form of a tiny hawk or cat.
The player pretends the eidolon is the character, and the druid is the familiar / animal companion.
If you play as a druid with a companion from the get go, then adopt this strat at level 7 with druid 6/summoner 1 (or druid 4/summoner 1 with a vest for extra wildshape), and if you give your eidolon both the hat of disguise and disguise as a class skill and +8 racial bonus to disguise, then your eidolon can impersonate you and your fellow adventurers will never know!
Then "you" with your low hp will likely die and disappear into thin air at some point. Then reappear the next morning. You can explain that you had a contingent teleport ready for if you were about to get hit with a mortal blow.
Or after "you" die you can still cast spells as a cat and summon things, and no one will know how you are doing it "from the grave." You can pretend that the DM let you cast spells as a ghost. And that the next morning you raised yourself.
Both funny AND effective! Who's going to suspect or attack the cute little harmless kitty hiding over there?
