There are many ways to become pure troll in D&D. These usually involve a horribly optimized or specialized joke character, or alternatively a wild-magic based class, but there is one class that is one big balanced, intentional potential troll : Ye olde rogue. So I ask the Playground, What is the most awesome, or awesomely ridiculous, thing you have ever had the honor of bearing witness to in the presence of a rogue?
I'll start: Bartholomew Annise, master thief, arcane trickster of the Zhentarim and troll extraordinaire, soloed an entire encounter whilst not actually being present. He wasted a half dozen Kobolds and an attack drake with his rapier, in front of the castle guards. Said guards then attacked him only for their swords to pass straight through his body. Bartholomew, High elven dexterous bastard he was, had been fighting from the top of the castle tower, alternating between controlling the illusion of himself that the guards and monsters were seeing, and picking off enemies with a longbow just as the illusory rapier struck. As the castle emptied of guards on their way to confront the intruder, he then helped himself to the warlords gems and walked down the side of the tower with his enchantments of awesome, then went to the tavern.
Your move, Playground.
