Ok, this is actually more a checklist of typical character types that make me hate gamers, but to make it fit the table format, the GM could roll randomly during character creation and spot-check characters to make sure they don’t suck.
- Any super-hero whose power involves bodily fluids
- A mad bomber
- A character with an incoherent collection of seemingly random traits/abilities
- Any character entirely based on a jokey name/schtick
- The same character in every game
- A character with no sympathetic traits
- Any character you can’t describe without referencing stats or equipment
- A character whose most interesting story arc has already happened
- A gritty loner who doesn’t work well with others
- A character the rest of the party has absolutely no reason to trust/work with other than the fact he’s a PC.
- Like, a totally hot ninja chick with huge tits
- A character with more weapons than friends
- A character belonging to a race with a hive mind
- A character with no discernible personality
- A character with a weakness guaranteed to constantly sidetrack the game
- Another goddamn elf
- A character with unexplained and completely out-of-place combat abilities/supernatural knowledge/magical powers
- A character who talks like Scooby Doo for no apparent reason
- A character who doesn’t fit the game
- A Good Drow who fights with two scimitars
