So in the clutches of boredom yesterday I started pondering weird ideas for PCs. I remembered William H Macys character "the Shoveler" from the movie "Mystery Men" - if anyone has not seen it I highly recommend it as it's a lot of fun. Anyways, this B superhero has no powers other than what he calls "God's gift of shoveling well..very well actually". I started looking at all sorts of weird feats and combinations like Catch Off Guard. Improvised Weapon Mastery as well as races suitable for something like this like a half-orc (I want him to be brutish, a bit slow thinking with an 8 intelligence and mildly abrasive with a 9 Charisma ). Total stats will be Str - 18, Dex 14, Con 14, Int - 8, Wis 13, Cha - 9. I gave him a point in Profession: Shoveler (or Ditch Digger / Grave Digger if I have to be more specific) and started him out as a Ranger. I'd like him to two weapon fight with a Medium sized shovel if possible with a smaller shovel as a off hand attack or a normal weapon in primary and a smaller shovel in the off hand but two shovels is my ideal scenario. I got plans for a mix of fighter, barbarian, and ranger levels to give him a variety of skills and still have him be fairly combat effective. He genuinely believes that his great shoveling skill is a divine gift and has decided to take his mighty shoveling skills into the life of an adventurer and hero, using his shovel to protect and inspire the downtrodden/forgotten of society and generate hope to those who need it and crush the forces of evil. His back story is even wackier but that's not pertinent to the thread. Suffice to say he's adopted...and a mamas boy. If anyone can give me ideas on how to make this craziness somehow work with classes, feats, skills, traits, ect. please post here. For those who post thank you ahead of time.
