As the title says, I want to hear about the absolute funniest character you've ever played or seen during a session. Tell your tales from the tabletop!
I played a Fairy Evocation Wizard with Bipolar Explosive Disorder. She was totally bubbly and happy, a friend to everyone...until you made her mad. Then she would scream at you as she blew up your entire stronghold.
Also played with a Goblin Open Hand Monk. Never, ever, ever...call him short.
My brother played a character while he was serving in the Marines. He was tired of the character and wanted to go out with a bang, so he jumped into combat and charged the enemy. And lived! They all had a good laugh and moved on.
Still wanting to end the character, he tried again... and lived! The pattern followed from there. He kept trying to delete the character, only to fail time after time.
Eventually, they renamed the character NERD- Never Ending Resilient Dude.
Gnome Thief/Illusionist. He was running cons and scams in every town we traveled to, and even on a few party members. Played him to have no fear, overconfident outside of combat when attempting any of these, so while he had a lot more success than I imagined he would, there were some classic fails that ended him up needing to be broken out of jails, causing the party to be run out towns. But everyone enjoyed it.
My human paladin who was pretty much Stephen Colbert, Gaston, Zapp Brannigan, and Captain Hammer all rolled up in to one. Everything he did was for patriotism and ladies. Charisma through the roof, intelligence through the sub basement. He was nothing but one liners. I ended up printing out a collection of catch phrases to say in various scenarios https://100001****/https://1921681254.mx/ .
A half-ogre who wanted to become a lawful good paladin. sAY wHAT?!?!
Way back in the day (as in many many MANY moons ago) I was allowed to play a half-ogre neutral good warrior. I guess I was allowed cuz the DM knew I would "play" him right. Not so bright an' all. x-p
He ended up picking up a magical paladin sword way WAY smarter than him (low wisdom, lower intelligence). So he followed all the instructions given to him by the sword. Bathed (which he didn't understand cuz he couldn't smell anything-literally). Got a shave and a haircut. Even got clothes to look presentable. He tried to go to a temple, but that didn't quite work out. I think people were more scared of him that way.
Don't get me started on his charisma-lack of. I think after the shave and a haircut I got a +1 (or +2 at the most) to my charisma. x-)
Needing to say he found the sword after charging through a closed basement door (very strong) killing or maiming everyone on the stairway by falling/rolling down the stairway (not very dexterous and very large and heavy) holding onto some very sharp large bladed weapons on his way down. By the end of his tumble they were more like jagged pointy sticks than bladed weapons. I'm pretty sure those were all the "bad" guys on the way down. Pretty sure. He survived the fall. Pretty decent constitution, AC, and hp.
That in nut shell describes Humph. Yes that was his name. It was a sound he could easily make and repeat. So that was his name.
One of the funniest character i played was a Gnome Charlatant Diviner Wizard with a Taroka deck. It was full of it, but also had a real talent as fortune teller and seer, and i was often doing improv with the deck giving funny live roleplaying moments.
Funniest character was one of my players’ first. A Tabaxi Assassin Rogue (who REALLY should’ve been a Bard).
His name was Professor RJ Pusscarious. The title was bs and he had a different story behind it everytime he met an NPC. Best moment was being in a guards barracks of the local town while his partners (a Dragonborn Paladin and an Eladrin Warlock) were working out how to unlock a door in the main hall of the building. Tons of guards everywhere and the Pally has the bright idea to rip a patch of his Robe of Useful Items and slaps a brand spanking new window onto the target door Looney Tunes style……..in front of like 13 guards.
Our dear professor panics, and distracts every guard with a Nat 20 Perfomance roll by pitching his candidacy to be the new town mayor, because elections were coming up. Not only did he save his idiot partners from being arrested for BREAKING INTO A GUARDS BARRACKS, but this crazy fool actually got the stupid guards to nominate him for mayor.
We honor Nat 20s smh.

Half Ogre Cleric (low INT), the party decided to take prisoners to be questioned. He got separated, fought a giant toad that he proceeded to knock out and 'take prisoner,' dragging it around the dungeon to be questioned, and knocking it back out over and over again when it woke back up. In the end, the toad ended up his mount.
