But I usually prefer to have both sides of the coin having something that is both interesting in Story and Mechanics, and with that I can basically instantly think of how to make this viable.
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Admittedly I have a feeling like a lot of my "Outlandish" ideas are relatively boring just because I tend to stay somewhat within the realms of mechanics, or use Spheres to make it that the mechanical limitations basically don't exist anymore... Though the character ideas I've had for a Book (and though not explicitly they do take some inspiration from abilities in pathfinder, so I'll mention just what Class/class combo' they'd be.</p>
<p>Elylis Magebrook:
<br />
Mechanical version: Wizard or incanter mixed with Technician, possibly as a gestalt.
<br />
The child of a well known world renowned wizard, but after some crazy things happened she ended up losing her arm and running away from her home. Since then she made herself a magitech prosthesis that also serves as her magical focus.</p>
<p>Geralius Reite
<br />
Mechanical version: Mystic Black Blade Magus (mystic important because he uses a shield which normal magus can't do), possibly mixed or gestalted with some kind of martial, though I've been back and forth on specifically what.
<br />
An orphaned tiefling boy who ended up in the same mage school as Elylis, and she became his first and only friend. He's put himself to the task of protecting her, but circumstances after the escape caused him to make a pact with a demon... Who happens to be the demon whose connection put the demonic taint in his bloodline in the first place, making her technically into his Mom.</p>
<p>Currently unnamed antagonist
<br />
Mechanical version: Either a Celestial Bloodrager for single class, or a Martial mixed with Celestial Sorcerer.
<br />
The villain of the story of Elylis and Geralius, traumatized by a raid on their family home by a tiefling warband, which eventually basically set them off to a road of psychopathy and a genocide against any creature that had any connection to the dark, including tieflings, warlocks, and anyone that stands against them.</p>Magda Luckbender wrote:Tevyr: the Non-magical Healer in a world with Magical Healing, they were highly incompetent, but somehow survived a hell of a long time.

<p>For an entire year I played a completely non-magical healer, Tevyr, who was a mundane Physician/Leech/Surgeon in a world with magical healing. Tevyr would regularly bleed his patients, sometimes causing damage, and was a big fan of leeches. This PC was a hopeless combatant and had no magic. Healing ability was confined to what an actual modern day Doctor/Surgeon could realistically accomplish. Tevyr was weak and had no powers, so he got by on wits alone. </p>
<p>The game system was Warhammer 40K, not Pathfinder, but in the Pathfinder Tier system this PC would be, at best, Tier 6: only does one narrow thing and sucks even at that one thing. Tevyr was the butt of a lot of in-party jokes. </p>
<p>Thankfully, players introduced several PCs with some sort of actual magical healing. Even a little magical healing completely upstaged Tevyr's leechcraft. Then that healer PC would die and allies would again turn to Tevyr for what little healing he could provide. Rinse and repeat. At least four times!</p>
<p>This campaign was very deadly and had an outrageously high attrition rate. Tevyr did sustain some serious permanent injuries but didn't die. Every other player had 2-3 character deaths each in that same era. Tevyr mixed it up in combat with the big kids, despite sucking at combat, and managed to survive over and over again at seemingly hopeless odds. Eventually the party had a near TPK, with only Tevyr and another PC surviving. Tevyr sustained a permanent leg injury and retired from adventuring to run a health clinic full time.</p>
<p>I still harbor a suspicion that the GM didn't kill Tevyr because he was such fun to torment. Never have I played a less competent PC for such a long time. That running gag of a PC should have been old after a year, but the other players found it epic that such a useless, hopeless character managed to survive & accomplish so much.</p>I challenge people to top this degree of incompetent fail in a PC:

<p>I played Mutants and Masterminds as a car-sized scorpion robot with a laser tail. She was super helpful in the crime-fighting, even though being a gigantic metal scorpion with a ludicrous ground speed, a burrow speed, and later on both predator cloaking and flight doesn't necessarily seem heroic at first glance.
<br />
One of the other players was a swarm of nanobots wearing various human suit and insisting he was a banker, so I was basically the group's Paladin.</p>
<p>I played a unicorn once, but that was Tails of Equestria, so it was not outlandish in context.</p>
<p>I played a tiny fairy once for a short campaign. I don't remember the system, but it was so simple it barely even represented the mechanical differences. Fun idea, though.</p>
<p>I spent some time trying to get Girtablilu (scorpion-centaur, basically) to work as a pathfinder PC race earlier this year - I got the idea of a Girtablilu Alchemist, and that concept just really got stuck for some reason. Girtablilu doesn't really come together as a normal race, so I ended up trying to build a down-statted monster at CR1-2 to use as a base. I think I have something functional (though not very optimised), but no game in which to play it.</p>
<p>That did lead me down a rabbit hole though. I tried to do the same with a Drider, thinking that would be easier (fewer natural attacks to account for), and though it was the PF result didn't really interest me. But, the 5e version looked pretty playable, and I might get to actually use it - and also it's literally the only time I've ever felt good about potentially playing a Bard. </p>
<p>But the whole idea of wanting to play monsters, combined with needing a specifically low-optimisation game for it to work, led me to the conclusion that I needed a system that could handle it better. So I took Tails of Equestria's basic mechanics apart, gave it seven stats instead of three, removed the level mechanics, and now I have a simple system that can handle monsters, albeit being less "tactical wargame" than PF can be.</p>Specifically in Pathfinder?

<p>I don't really have any strong desires of weird stuff to play these days. Mostly I am fine just playing, since I mostly GM.

I don't really have a limit to how silly or weird it can get, I just want it to fit the game being run.</p>Weirdest thing I've played in any game: a sentient photocopier called zzzzzzzDONK! - in TOON.

<p>The bard archetype that allows you to keep your songs going after you are dead is quite funny too.</p>I've always liked the Kraken Caller. They seem alien and hilarious.

<p>As far as things that are playable in Pathfinder, I think a werebatkin kineticist with a level of oozemorph with the gruesome shape changer feat, would be about as far as I could push things.

<p>As for something outlandish, it's probably fairly tame all things considered, but I have a pair of characters that are meant to be played together. One is a Dashing Thief Swashbuckler and the other is a Phantom Thief Rogue. I built them to work together and support each other in different ways. Sadly, I'll probably never get to play them as it requires letting someone else play as one, and I don't really want to do that.</p>Warriorking9001 wrote:Now to steal one from Jocat.
