I'm looking for ideas on practical jokes to play in character. The character is a Dwarven Warpriest who is also a master blacksmith.
A couple of ideas I already have are:
- Have the local kids decorate the wizard (necromancer) minions armor with bright pink, yellow and orange flowers, smiley faces and rainbows.
- Take all the rogues coins and melt the different types into big glob. Use the globe to makes a statue of the rogue that he has to break pieces off whenever he wants to buy something.
- Coat the ranger's gear in some kind of substance that attracts harmless insects.
What other things could he do. Please help since I'm not naturally a practical joker in RL.

Get a Wand of Prestidigitation. Every day, before your friend wakes up, turn his skin a little bit more purple. Don't change it back until he says something.

— Secretly desecrate the cleric's holy symbol (unless that's you).
— Replace the mage's true seeing eye ointment material component with colored or scented water.
— Place your open portable hole outside their tents and then yell loudly while you're on guard duty. Especially hilarious if they're carrying bags of holding.
— Resurrect their dragonhide armor when they aren't looking and see how good they are at explaining themselves to the dragon.
— Make them the old 'switchblade sword' gag weapons. It has a secret, concealed folding hinge just at the top of the hilt, when struck at just the right angle in combat, it folds down, slicing off their fingers. (Only really counts as a joke if you can reattach their fingers though, so have regenerate or a needle and thread ready. Inspired by Grimtooth's Traps.)
— Illusion spell on their boot to look like a chamberpot.
— Forged wanted posters of a partymember with huge reward bounties for hilarious crimes; sheep buggering, public nudity, failure to pay bar and inn tabs, murder. (Sheep buggering might be going too far, though.)
— 'Kick me' signs.
— Hide the wizard's spellbook and slip an identical copy that doesn't open into their pack.
— Mislabel their potions.
— Mend all the holes punched into their belts so they have to re-punch them when they try and put their pants on.
Pizza Lord, a good number of those gave me a real chuckle.

— Magic mouth on them while they are sleeping to make them say hilarious phrases when they say a trigger word, like "Hello". Things like, "Dwarves are a way better race than mine," or "My name is [PC name]. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Also good for using on the ranger, triggered when he says his animal companion's name, to make him give some other command signal.
— Cast Hide from animals on the ranger while he's sleeping (it's touch, so you can do it while 'waking him up' in the morning or for his guard shift). Then watch him try and talk or command his pet, which will completely ignore him until he touches it or attacks something.
— Cast guardian armor to teleport your prohibited metal armor onto the druid while he's sleeping (he counts as willing).
— Draw your image on that portrait of your party member's mother or lost love then cast enter image (from a safe, hidden place) and totally make out with her.
I bought 20 chickens, a chicken coup, and a wagon, and a combat-trained giant chameleon to haul it all around. One of the other PC's bought a Dire Lion for a mount. Anywho, we had to leave town abruptly, leaving my chameleon and 20 chickens and this Dire Lion alone for some several weeks. We get back into town, and the Dire Lion has eaten all my chickens, but my chameleon survived. It is at this point where I go into practical joke revenge mode.
The PC with the Dire Lion was a catfolk paladin, so I took all the bones from my dead chickens and had a special pillow made. The pillow was purple velvet with golden embroidery with his name on it, and inside this pillow were all the bones from my dead chickens, but I put catnip inside a hidden pouch every night. This item did not give off a magic aura, so when he first received it, he detected evil and got someone to cast detect magic on it, both to no avail. So he thinks it's cool, and now he's sleeping on it, and each time he sleeps on it, he gets a bonus from the catnip for the first few hours of the day (he doesn't know it's catnip that's providing the bonus, he thinks it's sleeping on the pillow that provides him this bonus), but once the catnip wears off, he's fatigued. So, naturally, he casts LoH on himself to remove the fatigue and doesn't think twice.
I cost that guy 1 LoH every day for weeks of in-game time and multiple sessions. WEEKS. It was beautiful, sweet revenge when he finally figured it out.
shrink item + wet cowpat, make it cloth texture and saw it inside target's pants. then make sure the rations include LOTS of beans. once the target farts use the comand word (i go with 'dang, it stinks') to enlarge it up to size. it might also enlare if he throws down his pants hard enough while undressing, so a bonus ;).
invisible pants (for the guys) & invisible shirts (for the girls), cast right before combat ensues.
enlarge/reduce person before they dress for the day, armor and weapons are wrong sized for a few minutes
or put it into the DM's hands. HOW, you say? Talk to the DM alone, when in town tell him your posting a PRACTICAL JOKE BOUNTY on such and such PC's. The townsfolk have 7 days to prank such a such PC's, winners for the best prank get the prize money.
in this case making yourself a prank victim sells your alibi.
What alignment is he? I imagine that would play a big part i.e if he's good he probably wouldn't do any pranks that could actually be dangerous (including hiding all the party's gear. What if they were suddenly ambushed?) If he's evil on the other hand, I could easily see him killing people with his "jokes" (such as destroying a section of a bridge, using illusory wall to make it appear to still be there, then watching and laughing as people fall through to their deaths.
