[Cerek the Barbaric]

Creating an exotic character is easy - just focus on the character's personality rather than the skills provided by each class or kit, then find the class that suits your character the best.

For instance, I've been looking over the various skills for different classes, because I want to play something "different" and a bit challenging.

I was looking at the Bard classes and had never really thought about playing a Jester, but then the class itself suggested a legendary character to me.

So I created a human jester that has bright green hair, and wears purple clothing with orange accents. His name - THE JOKER!!! (Batman's legendary foe).

Admittedly, the Bard class isn't the most suitable for Joker. To truly create the Joker from the Batman comics, I will need to use Shadowkeeper and make him multi-classed between Jester and Assassin...and he would definitely need to be Chaotic Evil (although Chaotic Neutral is the "default" alignment of characters considered to be "madmen" in BGII).

Another very interesting class I noticed was Swashbuckler. They are considered the BEST "fighter" among the thieves class. I also noticed that half-orcs can be swashbucklers. So just imagine a half-orc pirate and go from there (or you could try to recreate Capt. Jack Sparrow if you wished).

How about a female Undead Hunter named Buffy? The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
