First things first:
If you don't know, what the Iron Chef is, click here: Iron Chef Challenge (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302487)

The question that sprang to my mind was: Do you, my fellow cooks, ever use any of your entries in actual games?

I thought of using Ourevel Moonshadow (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15668729&postcount=190) as an NPC. He is playful und crazy enough to be a fun encounter. So which entries did you/do you/plan to use?

I used several of the Dread Pirate entries as NPC syndicate heads in my pirate-themed campaign, though most never got significant face-time.

Always wanted to use the Warforged Drunken Master as a villain, the idea is just too awesome to not use. :smallbiggrin:

Gazebo Jones is the greatest dish I've ever seen in Iron Chef.

I haven't had occasion to play as any of my dishes, as it's difficult to find the particular level of op required to make an iron chef build viable. if I had to pick one I would be able to realistically use in a game, it would probably be Monty from mindbender. he had just absolutely stupid high saves and almost every luck feat ever published with a luckstealer dip to refill his pool whenever he liked. he could reroll just about anything, especially saves, a couple times a turn, and was very difficult to lay hands on.

Of my own dishes I've tried to play at actual tables, we've had:
Dr. Milo Brushscrubber (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9208735&postcount=95) (a version of him is actually going through Tomb of Horrors right now).
Dulcinea (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9321125&postcount=154)
Chieftain Nini (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9823813&postcount=131)
Captain Four Fingers (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10609622&postcount=104)
Sortes (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11664034&postcount=132)
I'd link to the campaigns if I could find them, but most of them are defunct...am I the kiss of death? :smalltongue:

Of others, I recently started play as a version of Piggy Knowles' Parsifal the Fool (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13633110&postcount=140) in an Eberron intrigue game, but it didn't really get off the ground. Usually I take a piece of something and spin it a little differently, but my Medani detective is basically a choice-for-choice duplicate of Parsifal.

I'm trying to figure out how to use him as a villain in my campaign, but I'm running Pathfinder and half of the stuff he's based on is 3.5-only.

Almost expected you to be one who tries some of them. I realized that it is mostly the personality of the dish that interests me. The build only has to function or meet the restricitions (Tier 3 and below only).

I did play someone really similar to Ornixen (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15315090&postcount=352) on a Xorvintaal campaign. An ex-exarch human who was just breaking the rules.

I'm actually considering introducing my current build for the Thrall of Orcus into the build. My current campaign is running one where it's Dragons (as the home world "deities") versus the extraplanar creatures who just so happen to have a war on the dragon's homeworld.

Currently, the players are encountering demons, so it makes sense that these are all here; a Thrall of Orcus would sort of make sense to throw up against the party as part of the Counter party options. Thrall of Grazz't, Orcus, Demogorgon etc.

Dang, that's quite the compliment. Glad you liked Parsifal so much.

I played what I guess could be called a melee version of Vald Lokkur (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11663884&postcount=122), my first ever Iron Chef entry. It was a goliath barbarian/hexblade with levels in Divine Crusader dedicated to Telchur. No arcane archer for standard action casting hacks, but it was a neat little mini-ubercharger/Knockback bull rusher, with some nice BFC and casting on top. I'd buff the party with Snowsight and Snow Walk, then open combat with a Blizzard before charging in. I really enjoyed it, but I had a weird DM who arbitrarily decided that almost every enemy was both immune to bull rushing and would ignore the negative effects of Blizzard. I... did not like that DM much.
