Shout out to one of my friends, and players, Peter for helping out with this video!!
Also what are some of your favorite bad traits to give to your dnd characters??
A druid who is scared of animals
A bard who is deaf
I have a deaf kenku and the only word he knows is ‘Why’
A bard who suffers from impotence
A masochistic cleric
filing this under "future character ideas"
Yes!

SAME
“write that down, write that down”
Personally liked the artificer who failed science.
A bloodhunter who's anemic and can't deal with blood loss
Alternatively, a hemophiliac Blood Hunter.
So Mollymok
@@alexkoder1982 Long may he reign!
@@thelastcube. Ya know... with recent events... let's _not!_
Simple, use the blood of your enemies
I love the idea of a non-mage who throws molotovs while saying "I cast fireball".
Tried that once on session. Killed DM and two other players, heavily injured everyone else in the building and was arrested for arson and other nasty stuff.
Never brought any cocktails to sessions ever since.
I have been toying with an idea of a non-magic mage that uses tech gadgets for his "spells"
@@oz_jones artificer?
@@roma540 That I did not expect as a response lmao
@@oz_jones saw a gun some days ago which is loaded with magic scrolls to shoot the spells. I'll see if I find it again
I think a dyslexic wizard would be even funnier. Like he uses the wrong spells or maybe even summons some sort of demon from time to time
thats called chaos bolt
DYK: Certain spells used to be reversible? So casting them backwards gave the opposite effect.
isn't that basically wild magic?
I cast fur ball
"Oh, hey Greg."
"Hey Svtee."
"Tried to cast Fireball again?"
"Mybae."
"You'll get it next time buddy."
"Thnkas..."
A bard whose only talent is ASMR.
Bard: * whispering and tapping on a dagger * "D o e s t h i s i n s p i r e y o u ?"
Underrated comment :D
@@bunnys9704 ♥️
oooh my......
Lmao
I fcking laughed at this way too much
however a warlock that thinks that he's a cleric DOES work if his patron can't tell the difference either....
Clerics and paladins are just warlocks with better PR
The opposite of Jester and The Traveler.
"And now I will teach you guiding bolt"
...
"... Was that eldritch blast? Wtf?"
Can't some warlocks have celestial patrons? I heard about a group that called themselves crusaders or something because they all coincidentally chose builds that involved good aligned characters with divinely gifted abilities or something
I'm playing a warlock with a celestial patron who gives healing spells
@Paradoxical enigma Well, did the "paladin" end up siding with the patron or the party?
In defense of the yoga barbarian, that sounds amazing. Like his rage is just passive aggression and eventual physical aggression when he loses his pose.
The first thing that I thought is "So basically the Marvell Hulk."
@@shalkonon013 the Hulk is basically the Path of the Giant from UA
Sounds like the monk character from Slay the Spire.
Half her skillset is "lose your shit and recklessly beat the shit out of everyone", while the other half is all about staying calm and centered.
So just the Hindu God of Yoga, Shiva?
For those who don’t get the reference, look up some stories.
I always liked the idea of a powerful orc barbarian who was incredibly powerful, but their constant anger ended up giving them a heart attack. After recovering, they have to avoid getting angry or they could have another heart attack and now they're a monk who is always doing breathing exercises, drinking tea, and avoiding conflict, saying things like "I'm sensing a lot of negativity from you. Maybe we should calm down and talk about this over a cup of tea."
People: "Fighters are basic"
Barbarians after finding a single, lonely, low-level goblin: "I rage"
*laughs in Goblin Slayer*
@@roma540 That's the one guy who's allowed to rage at goblins
@@SaganTheKhajiit eeyup
Fighter: I SUMMON THE SPIRIT OF AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE
Also fighter: I STRIKE HIS BLADE SO THAT HE IS DISARMED
Also fighter: I CAST FIREBALL
Barbarian: it's ragin' time
@@alphanoodle1877 Rage is not the answer. Rage is the question, "yes" is the answer.
A barbarian with depression
me: i use rage
DM: No you dont
me: yeah you right...
I actually just finished playing a barbarian with depression. His 'rage' was him becoming even more depressed to the point his sadness actually hurt the enemy and he was so numb that he didn't notice most of him getting hit.
@@TheDarkdoomful So he was basically Marvin from Hitchikers guide to the galaxy?
@@Hisvo Basically, hahaha
@@TheDarkdoomful can I use this?pls i beg you
@@TheDarkdoomful please have been a warforged
I got a good one. a Rogue that's not Rogue: they're actually a locksmith that lied their way into accidentally joining the Thieves Guild
This I'd like to see being played....
"WHO ARE YOU, AND HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?"
"I'm a locksmith, and... I'm a locksmith."
Guess he'll need a lockpicking lawyer when he gets caught....
I made one of those! Except she'd never join any thieves' guild. A boggle rogue who's so anti-theft she's anti-looting. Those battle spoils better be going to the families, not the fairs! And those dungeon treasures better end up in a museum, not a market! She didn't learn their cant so she can talk to them, she learned it so she can know who's asking for a well oiled dagger in the back. Paladins you have your smite that comes from magic, this is mine and it comes from a mechanical genius's anatomical precision!
im taking this thank you
"A warlock who thinks he's a cleric."
Divine patron warlock: Am I a joke to you?
Not to me, but you are a joke to your patron and his clerics.
I would totally love to see/join a missionary-based campaign with Cleric, Paladin and Celestial Warlock all devoted to the same deity and constantly bickering about the nuances of theology and their grasp of it.
Bonus points if an atheist Rogue or Bard is also a member of the party, regularly fed up with the three, in his words, "blabbering their bullshit again".
@@Alche_mist you could also have a divine soul sorcerer literally decended from the God. with the right God, you could get a druid in on this mess too.
@@varmituofm The entire party draws power from the same god except one annoyed looking rogue/bard? Love it.
@@SerialElfYT That plan is right up there with the "all bard party" where no matter what, every party member is either a bard of some specialization, or a bard multuclass. Their whole campaign is built around their gigs, with dungeon delving being incidental, or about retrieving bard related stuff
Out of all the bad traits, the bard cleric with vicious mockery gets me every time
"God, bless this man to live, now get up stupid!"
Dang it, god again 😂
@@villager-number-ninethis part tho😂
"A paladin who is an alcoholic."
Me: [Looks at my character] I came out here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now 😂
@@Ary-Ve Not really, just some major ptsd that they're self medicating with lol
Honestly same. Let me play my alcoholic Paladin in peace.
Oddly out of all of the examples, I saw this as one that would be interesting and workable.
its not a sin if its communion wine
Make a Paladin of Dionysus, drunkenness is mandatory!
“A Barbarian who poops when he rages.” Now that is called a baby.
I have friends who referred to there 2 yr old daughter as their barbabian.
How that's nnot being used aas intimidation tactics is beyond me
“You wouldn’t want to see me when I’m angry”
@@Cynical_Socialist" much less smell me"
The foley effects on that one had me wincing.
The yoga barbarian actually sounds quite original, like he's gonna coach the 327 year old wizard to fix his joints, and even increase the flexibility of the rogue
It also kind of makes sense for character development : a barbarian with anger issues takes up yoga to help control his rage.
But than he should lose the ability to reckless rage and get something else instead.
yoga barbarian is a barbarian who can cotnrol his rage.
And the old wizard dies from 1d4 piercing damage
Fun fact in the french tabletop roleplay "the dungeon of Naheulbeuk" there is a goddess of wine, and if the dm is nice with you, you can chose to be her paladin or her cleric
Is it based on the audio series?
@@a.dennis4835 As far as I know, yes.
In DnD there's the Greek and Roman pantheons with Dionysus and Bacchus respectively, which you could use, again if your DM's being nice
and The Paladin who worship a Sleep God, Glune. XD
Dlul yeap and his artifact to plunge the world in eternal sleep@@ladycremation65
A rogue that only tells the truth just kind of sounds like Jack Sparrow in d&d
That was my thought
My brother wants to play that type of rogue
Just be a swashbuckler rogue and be cursed with truth always and a few levels of bard cause he speaks in riddles to get away with stuff.
Pull the whole Pinocchio trick from Shrek 2: use a slew of double negatives and selective word choices, like "hypothetically" and "supposedly."
Plus they(rouges) have their own language (just no one really uses it)
A wizard who can't read: Their spellbook is a rich tapestry whose patterns, while not writing, guide them to prepare their spells. When copying spells, they don't copy down the writing but rather tap into the pure magical essence of the written spell, drawing on it to add to their own spellbook
this is amazing gppd work
Or you could go with one of my player's more interesting ideas, a familiar that's a literate parrot. It does all the reading because the wizard while they aren't completely blind are too stubborn to learn Braille or admit they might need glasses 😂
@@azarinevil I love it
I have a blind water genasi divination wizard who uses magical truesight that can channel through their fingers to read. It was the best I could come up with as a fantasy version of Braille. Also they wear a robe of eyes lol
@@azarinevil reminds me of the character Wisteria of the webcomic Aerial Magic. Shes a witch who is text-blind and so her familiar (a bird named Puppy) reads stuff for her
To be fair, the gassy rogue could be more effective at being "silent but deadly."
Edit- Also a germophobic barbarian could just be one of the celtic tribes that fought naked. Supposedly because they didnt want blood on their clothing (under the impression that it spread disease).
Omw, I'm laughing at the idea of a barbarian spending the first turn calmly taking off their clothes and neatly folding them up at the start of every battle.
I sent this video to my D&D group and they actually really loved the idea of A Barbarian who poops when he rages, and we've homebrewed in that whenever our Barbarian rages he has to roll a D4, if it's a 2 or 3 he doesn't poop, if it's a 1 then he poops and gets so embarrassed by it that he looses all the rage benefits, and if he rolls a 4 then he poops and it fills him with so much extra rage that he has all of the stat improvements doubled (or something like that)
Cool
LMFAO
poor barbarian 😂
4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea
The one guy that enjoys it:
Ha, when I started reading this, I was thinking he poops himself if he rolls a [number] 2. If he rolls a 1, he just pees; if he rolls a 3... Well. I no longer want to go down this line of thought.
If it's a 4 can he also reach into his pants and use the poop as a thrown weapon or improvised weapon? That would be so hilarious!
A Rogue Assassin who doesn't like to murder people.
*looks at my own DnD character*
Ooh, what if they were cursed so that they would keep unintentionally killing people when all they want is to rob them?
Hey same! She accidentally killed someone and then spent the rest of the session sitting on the floor questioning her life choices
Omg same, that's also what my Dnd character is like!
A Warlock who is a pacifist.
@@isabellea7913 My dnd character committed a murder on a rather high profile figure to protect his family, but this ended up leading to a forced split from their home as a result. He is wanted for the murder, but his race makes it easier for him to hide (he is an anthro crow).
He is morally confused because he wants to do good and be a good character to make up for his mistakes, but his talent in assassination makes it hard on him.
A bard who voice cracks/experiencing puberty
A rogue with a fear of the dark
is it really dark when most races have darkvision?
@@_b1ack0ut4 still they’d only be seeing in greys
Now I just want to play an 80 something elf that's still in the awkward voice-cracking stage.
he has a phobia that someone's always there..
Ay, my favorite dnd character is an 8 year old rogue and she's working on her fears ok?
Honestly, I think these would be great for a joke campaign/one shot. See how long the players last despite their flaws.
Yeah, joke campaigns tend to break most of the rules for things which are bad on player characters.
The alcoholic paladin actually sounds like a really interesting character.
"A Cleric who is an introvert."
*Me, who has a character like this:* How dare you?
Same, it's not easy when you've been studying divine magic in the local monastery.
I’m surprised Merle isn’t on here, he’s a cleric who refuses to heal-
I have a bard with no social skills
If the cleric will end up hating the party after too much time together an introvert will be reducing the time together
I have one that gets easily overwhelmed when he has to interact with attractive men.
A Sorcerer who never wants to use their Sorcery Points cause they have to “save them” for later.
The video is "Bad Character Traits" not "What Always Ends Up Happening."
@@brucemaximus3797 you make an excellent point good sir.
A-...are you talking about me?
;-; Please stop attacking me
OH yes, I know that one well😂😂
How about Rincewind from the Diskworld? The most powerful spell in the universe, a spell so powerful it gained sentience, has taken up residence in his head. But it's too powerful for him to cast it, it takes up so much space no other spells can fit, and he can't get rid of it.
Which simply argues in favor of using these ideas for actual games because Rincewind is So Much Fun
His cowardice and the fact he’s favoured by the Lady would also make him very fun
But is The Luggage a mimic?!
@@suzannepottsshorts mimics only wish they could imitate The Luggage!
If I had to build a D&D equivalent of The Luggage, it would be a Greatwyrm that got bored and True Polymorphed itself into a Mimic, then swallowed a Portable Hole.
“A Barbarian who Poops when he Rages”
Not a problem for those with loincloths 😏 And this opens up intimidation tactics against everyone in the area, perfect for a werewolf with barbarian levels!
Actually, an alcoholic Paladin sounds like an interesting character. He probably was a devoted follower of their god, but something happened in their past and now they escape their pain with a cup of ale. And maybe through character development the Paladin finally faces his demons (either figuratively or literally) and lets go of the bottle to once again walk in the light as a faithful Paladin... and face the BBEG.
In a one shot I ran one of the premade was a Paladin who had spent all his life fighting the forces of evil, he'd seen so much dark twisted and fucked up shit, well it drove him to the drink. It makes a lot of sense really for a good hearted person who devotes their life to hunting down some of the most dark and twisted evils imaginable to carry a lot of baggage. Just think about what cops, and soldiers go thru, and suddenly you realize that you don't need to make a Paladin a frothing Zealot or a Sanctimonious prick to make them human. You just need to show the reality of what it would be like for a traditional Paladin with their noble soul to have seen the sorts of horrors that Paladins devote their lives to fighting against.
Alcoholism might be tame in comparison to the kind of damage some Paladin's might have to drag around.
Or he worships Bachus. Or the Dwarven God of Ale. You get the idea.
His Aid and Heroism spells are basically just handing out Alcohol to his teammates
our paladin is devoted to Odin but after his wife passed he turned to alcohol as a form of worship. I'm curious to see where this goes. also he, the bard and the fighter have made a promise to bang my druid's mom please send help
I have to say this, I'm sorry
Barbatos
"Oi! Paladin, could I get a heal!"
"Sorry, all I've got is a courage potion"
"Oh, I could use that!"
"Here you go! *hands them a bottle of Jack Daniels* liquid courage!"
A blood hunter who's a hemophiliac
A dwarf with Gigantism
A human with Dwarfism
A Pact of the Fiend Warlock who's dyslexic
I just imagined a dyslexic warlock that is so bad at reading the terms of his own contract that he even manages to confuse his own patron in a drawn-out argument over said rules, thus causing the fiend to accidentally break the contract and be punished by the forces of hell.
It already happened twice, and his patron is now desperate to get rid of the contract, which he can't legally do - and the warlock doesn't cooperate because he wants to keep his magical powers.
Better yet, A Goliath with Dwarfism
Actually, the only difference between my current character and that last one is that she’s a Hexblade rather than a Fiendlock! I always love giving my characters realistic mental illnesses, and I just hope my party doesn’t find this comment before she reveals that she can’t really read…
Did... Did the warlock think it was pact of the friend?
@@NerdAlert42 Plot Twist: The Patron got them to sign the Pact fully intent on corrupting them and collecting their soul when the time came. But the Warlock is actually super nice and thinks of the Patron as a friend. He brings the Patron souvenirs from his adventures, contacts the Patron even when he doesn't need anything to just check up on things, ect. This goes on for a while, until the Patron's higher-ups start pressuring them to collect the Warlock's soul. The Patron is panicking, trying to make excuses as to why he can't collect the Warlock's soul yet; but the higher-ups are loosing their patience because they have a quota to fill, and it's due date is fast approaching...
0:03 Felix the Sculptor (sometimes despectively known as "the Illiterate), a man who was raised by an ancient wizard as part of a secret experiment on the limits of magic, which was deemed too unethical by other mages of the world. Instead of using a spellbook, he's made small sculptures of every spell he knows, which he seems to use to gather the information needed for spells; he posseses an ability to perceive and sculpt magic into a visual metaphor.
0:22 Basically the Plague Doctor from the SCP Foundation; a person who believes they're on a quest to heal the sick and injured from the horrors of life, but is actually being deceived by their patron into committing sacrifices.
0:26 Ylde Mallister, an Eladrin princess of spring who was born with a weak physique, and a terrible allergy to pollen. This was seen as a curse by her clan, and she was exiled out of it, stripped of her royal title and left to fend for herself in the nearest human kingdom; now, she seeks revenge on the Eladrin monarchy as a Druid of Wildfire
1:16 Abyss Tidepool, a daring pirate who was betrayed by his crew and thrown off the boat. His genasi nature allowed him to survive in the bottom of the ocean, but for a long time he didn't have the strength to pull himself back up. After spending years on the ocean floor (I wanna say 100, just for the Dio reference...), He's rescued by a crew of fishermen, who happen to be around the area; taking over the ship, Abyss now scours the seas, looking for the crewmates that betrayed him, seeking to exact his revenge.
1:25 Karrash Spinebreaker, an orc who was the mightiest defender of his hometown, but who saw his people and family fall to a foe far stronger than him: illness. A sickly infection massacred the town, and the only fact Karrash was able to comprehend was that the blood of those who were sick transmitted the disease. Thus, fearing that it may one day come to claim him, he cleans off all blood from his weapons, hoping this will keep it at bay.
2:18 Karen, Edge of Duality, a human woman renowned in her quaint hometown by her wisdom and inner peace; in reality, her tranquility is but a facade, destined to hide the horrible truth that she once was a soldier for the crown, who found out the terrible things that were done to the war prisoners and went mad with the realization, becoming unstable and murdering friend and foe alike, until the kingdom's army was no more. She has calmed down and managed to become a healthier, more graceful person, but you better make your peace with your gods if you wish to push her off the edge...
2:32 Turmeric Trufflebottom, a gnome who tried to enter every martial arts monastery in the country and was rejected by every single one due to his lack of commitment and strength. Basically Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter; he's managed to create an entire martial arts style based on the moves and techniques he's seen in passing, but he mostly relies on making the opponent hurt themselves more
2:39 George, Scourge of War, a paladin who discovered a divine touch in their fighting style, but the blessing came also with the curse of constantly being aware of the lives and families he's snuffing out in every battle. He drinks to forget the pain and keeps telling himself that it's all for the right cause, but the alcohol does nothing to help but cloud his judgement further, leading to more reckless and bloodthirsty decisions to regret once sober. So then, why ever be sober? While drunk, the world is his oyster...
3:15 Dahlia Escher, legendary crook who's rumored to have stolen life from Death itself. However, she once stole from a wrathful fey lord, who decided to punish her by taking away her ability to lie, through cunning trickery that left her in this state until she gives up her life of crime and willingly gives herself to the authorities. Dahlia has since taken it as a challenge, though, and still keeps on stealing to spite the fey lord and to further test her own ability
Is nice stories
@@poppajournee8323 thamk :D
I may use these for some of my own campaigns.
@@squidfromtheloft7894 Please do! If you manage to play a game with these, tell me how it went!
@@silversonome5360 Will do!
3:06 okay but I actually like this one and the one after
The artificer was always trying to run his own dangerous experiments in class and kept ignoring all the safety guidelines
And honest rouges are kinda funny and some of the best rp people out there
I fucking lost it at the bard cleric with vicious mockery. “Dang it! God! AGAIN”
Yeah. The way he says it is just. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
A druid that is scared of animals
*Looks at video* Pffft.....who would put that in a video.....
I mean I had a druid who was afraid of bugs
My party has a druid who doesn't turn into animals, because they hate having fur.
@@ledgendweaver lmaoooo
@@ledgendweaver the anti-furry
A skinnie, if you must
2:40 This is literally every dwarf paladin.
3:33 This is literally every halfling paladin.
The only thing is, halfling paladins weren’t possible until the OGL.
I played a character that claimed to be a wizard. But I made him a rogue. He would try and cast fireball and then yell “dear god! They are magic proof!” Then have to pull out his daggers. He would greet people with his name “rogu-or the wizard”. Took about two sessions for the others to start figuring it out
That sounds like a character I made in Morrowind. She was a Redguard woman who took a whole bunch of Stealth skills + Alchemy and Enchant, and she was carrying as much enchanted jewelry and scrolls as she could to be able to pass herself off as a stealthy sorcerer.
Your character is a true charlatan then😂
"A warlock with insomnia"
Our warlock literally doesnt need to sleep due to her patron
Aspect of the Moon, bitches!
Love me some aspect of the moon :)
undying warlock?
That's my warlock but because my party says you have eldritch blast you don't need other spells and I say "ok"
Saaaaame. She spends her nights convincing bar patrons to pay her tab.
The bard who can't control Vicious Mockery actually sounds so cool
To be fair, any Cleric sounds like that before long...
3:01 I have a bard that doesn't believe in dragons... so that hits pretty close to home.
Me and my friends at one point actually made characters who almost perfectly align with these, we had
A Blind Warlock/Ranger
A Druid with Allergies
A Wizard who can't Read
The ranger with cartoon physics, paladin with alcoholism, a bard who doesn't know what a dragon is, and a barbarian yoga instructor sounds like pretty good characters to play as tbh
Honestly the barbarian yoga instructor is pretty feasible, you could play him as someone who's usually really zen and that's why his rages are so powerful
Or his rages are actually a zen state. Like Ultra Instinct instead of super saiyan
@@aliciacordero7436 The references went straight over my head but I get the idea, that's a cool perspective on it!
I dunno, it's kinda hard for said bard to seduce what he/she doesn't know
@@jonathanallen396 that's the point. Can't seduce what you don't know what it is.
Paladin: "I CAST FIREBALL!" *lights molotov cocktail*
Get me every time.
This makes me laugh harder than it should, because our paladin is a severe alcoholic and our warlock never actually sleeps. We are the golden disaster party.
a germophobe Paladin would be hilarious.
I already am thinking about creating one.
Her hometown improved greatly through hygiene policies, and the count who invented them was made a saint when he died. So she worships this count and is now trying to bring cleanliness to other cities, by teaching people to bury their poop and food scraps in the forest instead of just leaving it in the town. And by declaring everyone who throws their trash in the water a heretic, and killing that person. Oh, and she burns rats instead of just decapitating them.
Im just imagining your Germaphobe Paladin loseing his mind with that Pooping Barbarian XD
I’d like to play the Zoophobic Druid. 😅
Rogue who only tells the truth honestly sounds like a GREAT dnd character.
Enemy:So where that one knight from your team?
Rogue:Uh, hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not.
I did a bard that was evil aligned that could only tell truths. It was fun.
Haven't you heard of an honest thief?
@@hiralykowalski6825 i can tell you where hes not...safe
Getting around that limitation is actually quite easy, you just have to be liberal with the truth.
You don't have to lie to obfuscate the truth.
A wizard that can’t tell spell scrolls and toilet paper apart
That's creative lol
Thx
You know a toilet lid is what I designed the shield I gave my human to look like.
It really isn't much different from a Heta Shield other then the material I crafted it from.
What happens if the wizard misinterprets the toilet paper and rediscovers a lost magic? You should be rolling a d100 of random magic spells you come up with everytime you cast magic from a toilet paper
@DANDAN THE DANDAN
.......I hadn’t thought of that before, that would be epic
2:53 Missed joke.
"I cast Fireball!"
*Drinks Fireball Whiskey*
The monk with glass bones had me laughing so hard i cryed lol
"An aarakocra who is an ostrich"
THIS IS THE BEST THING
An added bonus is that you used the proper grammar. AN Aarakocra 😁
@@bradmolyneaux5883 An aarakocra that really doesn't like it when people spell things wrong
had a friend once who was a parrot. it was amazing
its the best if you're an Australian
ZOOOM💨
I actually made a rouge that never tells a lie, but what he does, is deceives people by leading them towards making false assumptions. For example: if I killed someone, but I didn't want others to know, I wouldn't say, "I didn't kill him." I would say, "I sent him on his way," and I would think to myself, "to the afterlife."
Basically Agent 47. He never lies, he simply dances around the truth with double meanings and misdirection.
Yeah, interestingly, that is a philosophy and religous conviction that some have taken in history when comes to lying under oath and perjury, particularly one time concerning a catholic priest who was a traitor to the English crown, but would tell half the truth, and finish the rest in his head to dodge it. I think that is how the Story went...
@@mitchellslate1249 After all, omission is a deception, but not a lie.
I do that irl so I don’t get in trouble for lying.
Rouge != Rogue
We need another part to this. So much potential for hilarious characters
"Now wake up, stupid!" broke me
I need a sorcerer bard who can't control their vicious mockery
"A Sorcerer who doesn't chose Fireball", challenge accepted.
I mean I'm more of a big shot than big bomb so... yeah
I feel attacked.
Just go for scorching ray instead or any other offensive spell.
@@andresmarrero8666 right? There are so many other options.
Lightning bolt, its pretty much the exact same spell.
"A Warlock who thinks he's a Cleric"
So... one with a Celestial patron?
And the last one made me think of a Game Grumps reference.
I had a warlock like that who I played as a fire and brimstone kind of priest who purified with the sun and smited with his fire powers.
Which episode of what game?
I played a celestial warlock once. I played her more like a magical girl than a cleric though. She mainly used fire and performance magics.
The honest rogue is actually quite fun to play. And pretty badass too if you declare you'll steal something, then proceed to actually manage it.
2:47 what if the Paladin's god is Dionysius?
yoga instructor barbarian honestly sounds really fun
one minute they're trying to defuse confrontations with calming words and deep breaths, the next they're literally folding goblins in half
"They say STRETCHING eases MUSCLE PAIN!"
Wii fit trainer
"A fighter who is basic."
Nah, my current fighter is the best. She's a 40 year old chaotic good human woman with the attitude of a 10 year old and the intelligence of a sack of potatoes and it's amazing.
so...kinda sounds like a barbarian
@@vitormaodevaca8469 I mean you're actually right, and I think that might be the joke here.
So she is a dumb brat who is also middle age and could qualify as a grandmother. That does not conjure up pleasant imagery.

I made mine a Local hero so that commoners trust him, but in secret he abuses his closest admirers or newly found friends to cope with near death experiences and to learn from them nearly dying, while also constantly hiding his identity that he is a tiefling by always being covered in clothes. So effectively I have made a sociopath to balance out the horny fighter arcane archer criminal mastermind, the slave goblin criminal player (not sexually, basically first mate but the development between the two is idk yet.) to said arcane archer, a really innocent Bard-barian with thunder thighs that is easily distracted by cute things, and a aakraarn arkarn the big bird people paladin who I don't even what is his character. In retrospect, it seems I made a really evil person to balance out the horny evil and oddly good people that are in this party.
2:13 My warforged, journeyman blacksmith, mason, woodcarver rune knight who proudly built their own cozy as hell house and has anger issues but wanted to be approachable and friendly so they got their voice box changed by a mechanic to sound like the kindest grizzly bear in the world would like to speak with you
Tldr: MAYBE IF YOU'RE A CHAMPION FIGHTER
I was a guest in my best friends D&D party. My character (drow druid) was cursed into his duck form and the party had to save him. The evil king brought drinks out and we knew they were poisoned. I casted detect poison and knew it was a paralysis potion. Apparently, the barbarian was an alcoholic and even with the duck repeatedly shaking his head he downed the drinks. The cleric convinced the paladin to not drink it and the necromancer let his zombies drink the poisoned drink. It was hilarious.
Me: *sees a bard cleric who can’t control his vicious mockery*
Me: ah yes time to make a new character
Cleric of Tourette's
Drunk Paladin and Not Horny Bard sound like awesome characters.
As someone who played as a functioning alcoholic paladin, it was extremely fun. A shit ton of drunken speech just going "I bet my God can kick your Gods ass".
I mean....... I have yet to meet a horny Bard.
Edit: I'm gonna play a Bard. :3
@@aisnota5192 You haven't met tiefling bards?
My bard was not horny. In fact, they are aro/ace. They also don't know how to play instruments. They just really know how to use their words and say the right thing. They were also a cult leader but no one knew it was a cult except the DM and me. The DM even included the cult as a homebrew religion so I could claim my character is a priest without having anyone get suspicious. We went to great lengths to make the rest believe they are a cleric. Once the party found this artefact, he stole it and "died". I started playing a new character and they returned in a later session as the bbeg
Here me out. A dragon born bard who's too obsessed with himself to be horny.
My drow paladin was an alcoholic and depressed... He's still one of my favorite characters who found his happiness in the end.
But I can't forget how he roll nat 1 on Con Sawing throw... The orcish grog was too strong for him, and his hallucinations the party still remembers and it became even part of the setting, for now in this tavern orcish grog is not sold to those who are not orcs or half-orcs)
Alcoholic Paladin could actually work because you could worship Dionysus or Inari Okami. There is also the Daoist 8 drunken immortals with Lu Dongbin's form of drunken sword fighting. His sword even dispels evil spirits.
I'm currently playing an alcoholic paladin of Bacchus, and the backup for if he dies is a Drow that grew up afraid of the dark, so all this has done is given me even more ideas!
Do you hate your party?
@@georgelilly1847 obviously
Mhmm mhmm. I'll see your Drow afraid of the dark and raise you a Kenku bard who can only sing Nickelback.
@@darwinxavier3516 How bout a tone deaf bard ?
A drow raised above ground with bad experiences after nightfall.
A washed up one tricker who mourns their wasted talents.
A friend of an evocationist wizard and/or artillerist artificer who's learned to play their instrument by memory, like Mozart.
All interesting concepts if played out.
A wizard with the heavily armored feat
excuse me. i think you mean field artillery
Just wait until you can’t hit the hasted Wizard in plate mail with the shield spell.
Oh, ye
Literally my current character... (All wizard party, gods help us)
@@VistrosCannel Good luck
But wouldn't the Warlock with Insomnia be fine since they get their stuff back on a Short Rest, not a Long Rest? Well maybe not fine but capable of casting spells.
Thats the meme. After every single fight, warlock needs a rest. After every skill check, warlock needs a rest. After the party does anything, warlock needs another shot rest
The thing is though, short rests under standard rules don't really involve sleep since they're just an hour; long rests would be what's affected by insomnia
The first Cleric and Warlock ones actually made me laugh 😆
Dangit!
God!
*Again!*
I love how the sorcerer didn’t choose anything after fireball, just gave up lol.
You can choose?
There are so many other options than fireball
I had one with really bead memory Problems. He would forget how to make a fireball

A Champion of Cayden Cailean in Pathfinder. (Well, yeah, he's against alcoholism -- that interferes with partying and drinking.)
@@Qaianna don't forget Cayden's blade and tankard fighting style and Cayden's Fighting Tankard to drink while fighting even harder

That just sounds like Tavern Brawler with extra steps

I have a buddy who plays a lupine who's character trait is that "he's a good boy". Which gives him a huge buff to the charisma checks, at the cost of his 100% inability to detect lies.
I actually do have a warlock who thinks she's a holy servant, her patron is a great old one but she thinks she's serving a celestial
@Paradoxical enigma *eagerly writes down notes* buddy this is a brilliant idea
"A Sorcerer who doesn't choose Fireball"
Joke's on you, I use my Sorcerer to beta-test all of my homebrew acid spells.
Mine's a summoner/utility mage, I don't have Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Melf's acid arrow... any of those. However, I can give you a facefull of Large size category celestial augmented centipede with a 2nd level spell, so i'm not exactly useless in combat.
My brother made a ranger who’s blind, but balanced it by making him multi-class into a Pact of the Chain warlock so he could use his familiar’s sight to aim.

An insomniac warlock is fine considering there's an eldritch invocation that lets you not sleep
But that would ruin the fun
Yeah, but that requires using one of your limited eldritch invocations.
...can't for a short rest just sit around and read a book?
@@merwwrem9595 Yep, for an hour.
And then there's the good old coffeelock.
An alcoholic paladin huh? Well, the Oath of the Ancients demands that the followers enjoy themselves sooo
If their patron is dionysus, i can see this as a thing lol
Pilchard sendes his regards
I'm definitely gonna try the barbarian yoga instructor. He shall be named Grandpa Joe, a formerly prominent soldier who now owns (and runs) a yoga studio. Favorite past times include drinking tea and giving warm bear hugs.
Also another character idea.. a ranger with horrible accuracy (think storm trooper from starwars levels)
Other Alternative ideas:
a rogue who is accident prone (ridiculously clumsy)
A bard who is tone deaf ( singing is so bad their voice causes piecing damage )
>A Sorcerer who doesn't choose Fireball--
Lightning Bolt, durr!
>A Paladin who is an alcoholic
... so a dwarven Paladin. Check.
My first D&D Character ever was a rogue who couldn't touch gold. Doing so directly would give a third degree burn. Using gloves or putting it in a bag would only slightly lessen the effect. Not even mage hand would work for me. Don't mess with wizards. A rogue who fears money is quite the interesting character.
Some of these unironically sound like great character concepts actually
...Good you play the pooping barbarian I'm going to play the gassy rogue.
A Druid who only ever turns into a Chihuahua. Nothing else.
A Rogue who is way into the medieval equivalent of scene culture…with all bright colors included.

@@ryanv558
Ah ok well If I remember correctly he has to use a one armed bandit or something to choose his weapons for him.
@@ryanv558 the guy’s power is basically that he has a magical roulette which summons his weapons, in exchange for having shit weapons in the roulette it also has weapons way above his power level(hunterxhunter’s “magic” system basically rewards you for adding limitations to your techniques)
@@victormagoco9752 Yeah it's kinda like that. He received an enchanted playing card deck with a wide range of weapons (for example, he can draw a longsword one round and draw a flip flop the next). I also tried to make the deck more dynamic by allowing him to "swap out" weapons in the deck for others he finds. I had to add a couple drawbacks and such to keep the deck from being too powerful and ruining the lucky part but its so worth it for the crazy combat sessions lol
4:03 IBS: Inconvenient Barbarian Shits.
The Barb that poops when rages just sounds like a fun side npc for some commic releif XD
Ive had this character concept for a while. A staunch athiest Cleric who gets his powers from a trickster god who just wants to watch the world burn.
So.......Loki?
I want to say that seems more like a warlock, but warlocks are explicitly stated to get their powers from beings who *aren't* gods...
Eh, Cleric of the Satantic Church accepted. I recently saw someone using the Flying Spaghetti Monster, actually...
Honestly, that yoga instructor barbarian actually sounds like a really fun character to play.

"a paladin who is drunk"
Legit my character. He's addicted to an alcohol that makes draconics feel great when they drink it. Just so happens he is Dragonborn :p
What a coincidence, I'm also running an alcoholic Dragonborn Paladin. By session 2, he was in jail.
“An Artificer that failed science class.”
*Artificer blows up*
Honestly, I thought failure would be NOT blowing up. 😅
Some of these actually sound pretty fun, like the warlock who thinks destruction spells are healing spells; that would be amazing.
