As the title says really.

Sometimes, DMs need a helping hand. Other times you have a crazy idea that you just want out there. So, here's a thread for em all. Try to put something more than "A farmer" please.

Let's number em, 'cos, why not?

To start us off:

1. An awakened Bear with class levels in Barbarian with an awakened Squirrel cohort with class levels in rogue.

2. A Blacksmith with an uncanny, but unintentional, knack for adding some form of magic to anything he creates. Sometimes useful, sometimes not so.

3. A hyperactive Dwarf who has a habit of downing several pints in a few seconds.

4. A sorcerer who's hair lights on fire whenever he gets angry.

5. A goblin dressed as a halfling and a halfling dressed as a goblin for halloween. (Or a costume party)

6. An atheist (or nondenominational) lawful good fighter who subcontracts for an order of paladins.

7. A 7-foot tall, 350-pound, bushy-bearded boisterous bruiser in bavarian barding (full plate, but alliterative) with six different weapons and a degree in philosophy.

8. A frost wizard who keeps freezing to every metal object he touches.

9. A former adventurer working as a city guard because "the retirement plan's better."

7. A 7-foot tall, 350-pound, bushy-bearded boisterous bruiser in bavarian barding (full plate, but alliterative) with six different weapons and a degree in philosophy.

That's called a Genius Bruiser (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeniusBruiser).

12. A dirt farmer. :smalltongue:

13. A ventriloquist politician who insists that his dummy should get a vote.

14. A sorcerer/cleric who's a pyromaniac and believes its her destiny to become a demigod of flame.

15. A half-drow witch who's patron spirit is a good spider spirit seeking to overturn the image of all spider spirits being evil and Lolth's servants.

16. A dwarf brewmaster who carries a portable still on his back everywhere he goes and who is traveling the world in search of new herbs, plants and recipes to make the ultimate beer. Adventuring is just how he pays the bills.

17. A halfling ranger bugbear-killer who's desperately trying to avenge the slaughter of her entire village by bugbears.

18. A human cleric who worships the concepts of architecture, carpentry and masonry as the highest aspirations of sentientkind.

19. A gnoll ambassador who genuinely believes the gnoll race can only be advanced by their learning to accept peace and settle down to develop a real civilization and not just be nomadic raiders.

20. The accidental pirates. The Viradan navy is known for its brutality towards common sailors as well as its practice of shanghaiing sailors. The captain and officers of a Viradan ship in foreign waters, used to dining all together, all died from food poisoning and when the crew brought the ship back to port, no one would believe they hadn't murdered the captain and officers (especially as the captain was widely known for being more strict than even the usual brutal Viradan CO) and they were declared pirates and run out of town...

Swooper

124. A halfling with an attitude that claims to be the halfling god of war, that has no powers because no one worships him. Certainly, his story is consistent with the fact that no one seems to have even heard of there ever being a halfling god of war...

138. A shaggy, bearded man believes that every bad or unfavorable event in that area for the past hundred years is part of a mindflayer conspiracy, which he will expound on at great length and great volume to passerby.

148. Rudy is a human blacksmith with a very forward personality and a thing for half orcs of either gender.

153. Twin tiefling con artists; one’s a rogue the other is a beguiler. They make their living in the city of Sigil but occasionally venture the prime material plane for “jobs”.

154. Basically Gaston (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhG9hKiplfQ). Naturally the girl he’s after isn’t interested. So the PCs should probably intervene as there is no Beast around to stop him.

160. A powerful wizard who botched the ritual to turn himself into a lich, and is now trapped inside the item he was planning to make his phylactery. If he can use magic without hands, he can still cast spells, and can still speak, but his physical form is a ring, or a box, or whatever.
