Suggestions for an abberrant-ish player character?


Advice


I'm building a character where I'm going for an abberrant feel. He's an orphan, experimented on once the locals realized how creepy he is, inherently. He's a decent person as of now, he's just creepy with a tendency towards insanity in his subconcious. I'm thinking of either a Dark Tapestry oracle or an abberrant-blooded bloodrager.

My DM doesn't want psionics in his game, which is totally fair, so does anyone have any suggestions for non-psionic races that are or can be played as abberrant-y? My last character was a tiefling, so I'd rather not do that. I'm considering an agathion-blooded aasimar, since they can have weird animal features, scales and slit pupils and such, and also I like the dichotomy of having an angelic abberration. But if anyone has any better suggestions I'd love them.

Beyond that, any suggestions on fun spells, items, or feats that are particularly abberant-creepy? I haven't really done a lot of magic as a player, so especially anything in that realm would be helpful! I'm also the type of player that firmly believes in fun roleplay over optimization, so I'm willing to put feats or spell slots into flavor stuff.


As someone suggested on another thread recently, human with racial heritage(ogre) and the vestigial head feat is a valid choice.

Doesn't get a whole lot more aberrant than that in my opinion.

Some of the alternate racial traits for the core races in Horror Adventures are pretty creepy.


You can ask your game master to let you make alternate traits for your human, or make a unique race using advanced race compendium.

For classes, you could use aberrant bloodline, that magus that uses bloodrager bloodlines, or maybe an alchemist that continues the experiments on himself by himself ;-)

Four arms, vestegial twin, wings, tentacles... I'd say you would be quite the aberration.
