    Okay DM, I’m going to snort a line and monologue for a few minutes to get the party pumped up.

    Ultimate Warrior was… Yeah, I don’t know how to finish that.

    Cocaine is a helluva drug; the 'roids probably didn’t help much either.

        One time in a group I wanted out of because of a problem player, he tried to steal a critical piece of gear from my character while I was sleeping. Before I could say anything he started with a “What, it’s what my character would do!” I told him “Well MY character would kill anyone caught stealing from him with his very large axe, so good luck!” Weirdly he didn’t think that was as funny.

        The “that’s what my character would do” thing really sucks. If the other players don’t think it’s funny, and the DM doesn’t think it’s funny and often not even the player themselves think it’s funny (or replace funny with any other measure of worthwhileness), then why are they doing it? It’s not like the character is a living being that demands accuracy.

          Crazy part is, that’s not the most unsettling and/or unhinged promo he did.

          This is.

                I had a guy play a combo of the sentient hat and farmer. A lich screwed up, was left as just a head, and his phylactery was the farmer. As the farmer got stronger the lich got weaker but more connected to the farmer, until the lich was very nearly fully in control of the farmer (fighter/rogue by that point) before the party found a way to remove the lich.

                  Most of these are just gimmick characters that will have one fun interaction with the group and then become useless. They can be used for one-shots, but not full campaigns.

                  Like the dragonborn one, after the initial interaction where they explain the skin condition. Most players will just go “okay” and move on.

                  Except for the sentient hat one. That has a mystery attached and you can keep changing the mannequin throughout. Maybe it also works on a mop or barrel.

                  It really depends if the players are in it for the gaming or for the roleplay. Several of these are solid roleplay opportunities for people really into that aspect, and they would probably have a lot of fun.

                  Some of course are just silly thought experiments.

                          The mannequin one can be used to re-spec. Need a tank? Big, heavy and slow puppet. Something dexterious? Ten arms with ten fingers each.

                          Or with a buoy body it gets a swim speed.

                              The drow one is just straight up PTSD from being a Drow, that’s a solid character basis.

                                The bard is a hick who wears overalls, is named Beauregard (“Beau” to his friends), and charms the underpants off of various people and creatures of all kinds with his unassuming and innocent, natural “aw shucks” charm.

                                Secretly, he’s a perv from a big city putting on an act.

                                  As a DM. I’d totally let a player pick a new body each day or something. Like up to Dex mod per long rest you can take 10 minutes to swap bodies or something. And you get stat modifiers based on which body you have.

                                  Break the game? Maybe. Fun? Definitely in the right hands

                                    Shroombeard’s stash would make an Ancient Golden Dragon worried about missing their fortitude save.

                                      You could reward the player by allowing them to find new bodies with different abilities. Later in the game, they could come across a gnomish flying contraption that would grant them a flying speed.

                                      And you know at some point, they could be fighting a stone golem, and the character could deliver the “killing blow” with, “I slam my hat onto the golem and attempt to gain control.”

                                      Mechanically it could work similar to a Warforged character.

                                      Semi-related: I created a gnome subclass in this vein, gnome in a mech. Could be inspiration for anyone wanting to flesh out the mechanics of this.

                                          One of my characters I hope to play some day is a half orc hexblade warlock who doesn’t realize he has magic powers or that he made a pact. His “casting” involves yelling intimidatingly and waving his arms, sometimes throwing certain things.

                                          If anyone asks where he got his favorite axe (which is always conveniently “on his back” when he needs it, despite him constantly forgetting it), he’ll explain that he traded part of his shoe for it.

                                          Any party members that try to explain his pact are met with disbelief or confused facial expressions before he inevitably moves on.
