What are some of your more weird/funny character ideas? Could be roleplaying, or build wise.
I was playing with a friend and for the hell of it decided to make another character. I wanted to make a joke character since I typically play serious characters like Paladins. In a fit of inspiration I came up with Calkin the Barbarian. A Halfling Barbarian who thinks he's Conan the Barbarian. I set his AI to charge in at the first sign of enemies, made him dual wield, and gave him a voice set I downloaded of Cervantes from Soul Calibur. So this little guy wades into battle screaming about the flames of hell and taking the lives of his enemies because he can.
The joke is on me though. At least in the early part of BG1, he's a monster. With Splint Mail and a shield his AC is -1 at start, and 0 when dual wielding. He's a frenzied little death ball to all the enemies on the first few screens.
