So a few weeks ago I joined a campaign at school and was really excited to start playing. It's been two sessions since then and one particular player has… shown their character's true colors…

We had some downtime during which our monk (a Dwarven woman named Astraelia) was meditating. The ranger spent his spare time watching her through the window, doing some er… questionable things with his pants down. Astraelia noticed, and picking up her bow, tried to shoot the windowsill so he'd run off. She missed the windowsill and tore his left ear off. That was all good and hilarious fun for the party, and we got a good laugh out of it.

The next day, he started stalking a particularly high-ranking woman in our organization. Her name is Faelin and she is possibly the single edgiest person I've ever seen (and also a level 12 rogue (we're level 3). The problem here is that after she caught him gawking, he came back later that day and flirted with her during lunch. Faelin, of course, threatened to kill him if he persisted, but he seemed undaunted by the statement.

So this specific character makes me both cringe in horror while he explains what he's doing and laugh my cheeks off whenever something bad happens to him. He's definitely going to be the first to die, as far as I can see.

So what about you guys? Are there any characters that rub you the wrong way in a funny way? Please share!

Well, I must admit that I specifically made my first DnD character as awful as I could think of. That being said, my boy Chanceler is the literal worst rogue I have ever laid eyes on. I only used him once in my old campaign, and what made him awful was that he was a stuck up thief who had NO stealth. I put pretty much all his points into charisma so that when he snuck around nabbing things people just assumed he knew what he was doing, and if someone asked him what he was doing stealing things he literally just yelled "YOU DO NOT SEE CHANCELER" at people and it worked pretty much every time

We had a cat man in our campian who wore nothing but a bright pink plaid kilt, had a pair of bagpipes who had a 25% chance of exploding, and would get drunk off catnip. We also had a character who liked to drink anything he found in a bottle.

In the D&D show I watch, there was a guest character played by Matthew Lillard (Shaggy) who was a Tabaxi hunter. He performed so well in terms of his roles and roleplaying that he managed to commandeer an airship and try to steer it into a RED DRAGON a la The Little Mermaid. The dragon managed to flee, but the hunter continued to chase after it. Legend says that there was a Tabaxi out there with a cloak made of red dragon scales. The character himself talked like a generically stoic hunter, performing flips and fancy trickshots with his bow any chance he could get. It was hilarious.
