Alright, here's the story of Lupus Calamari, the character who destroyed 3 campaigns and over 20 pc's. Before I start this story I should mention that I don't play actual dnd. I play a variant of it called GURPS, which is similar but with more character customization and my group didn't use maps. My friend decided to gm a grimdark medieval campaign in a strange castle, so most of the group rolled with Knights and spearmen, while i ran a buffing cleric. We had: half-elf archer with kleptomania, Orc spearman with negative iq (I still don't know how he got the gm to agree with that one...), and a knight, nothing really special about him. We enter this castle after 3 hours of the gm trying to get us to explore some random stuff before we get to the actual story, and immediately encounter an Eldritch abomination. The Orc and the archer fail their sanity checks and go temp insane, while I frantically buff the knight and try to heal him. The abomination (that we can't even look at) hits the knight for 3d6 and instant-kills him. I decide to play dead, but I get killed. About 2 hours and 8 total deaths into that fight, the archer (now running a glass cannon sorcerer) rage quits and the rest of us follow suit. I was awake for most of the night delving into the deepest depths of munchkining and minmaxing to create this... Thing. Essentially I created a tank knight with a magic weapon (unbreakable, holy, returns to hand at will, bonus fire damage) and a few... Strategic disadvantages. He was a kleptomaniac, claustrophobic, hemophiliac zealot. But here's where I started laughing maniacally: [i]whenever one of his disadvantages came into play, he transformed into a [b][u]freaking werewolf![/u][/b][/i] [spoiler]he also had serendipity, which allows you to escape death or just have insane luck, and widgets, which lets you pull any item out of your pockets, but we'll come to that later...[/spoiler] Needless to say the abomination died in seconds, along with our Mage (first pc kill). I will continue this story in the comments later. Edit: parts 2 and 3 are in the comments now, and I am posting part 4 later.
