| Bacolith “the ever-changing” |
Most tactically unsound duel participant ever. In the duel in question Bacolith, several levels more experienced than his opponent, managed to incapacitate this foe…and still lost the battle, preferring to lecture while his opponent beat him near to death with a katana. |

First PC to wander unintentionally directly into a Manticore. |
| Bahari the Irda monk |
Most ridiculous initial 3.5 D&D player character stats ever offered as “actually rolled”: Str 18, Dex 21, Con 20, Int 21, Wis 19, Cha 23! This occurred in one of Zeb’s 3.5 games; the player later claimed not to have understood that you took the highest three dice of the four rolled; despite these stats, the monk lived a short and violent life. |
| "Butlick" the cleric |
Most ridiculous player character name ever. It might be hard to accept that someone actually called their character this, but I have witnesses. |
| Character 1.0 (half grey elf swashbuckler) |
First PC to dual wield chalice and broom stick. This was the first character created in “The Amnesia Campaign,” and never had a working name. He wielded the chalice (which was silver) and the broom stick (which was wood) to try and hurt a supernatural creature apparently immune to standard metal weaponry. |
| Character 3.0 (Ed Broughton) |
First kobold alchemist/monk player character. This was the third character created in “The Amnesia Campaign,” and lacked a working name. His species and class were randomly determined. |
| Corthal "the great defender" |
First D&D character to get hit with a depleted-uranium 30mm machine gun round (and survive). This occurred in the same battle Gunther died in; the round hit him in the chest, and temporarily warped his magical chain mail. Of course the impact rolled him across the room and stunned him, taking the air out of his lungs. |
| Corthal "the great defender" |
First player character to engage in sexual relations with an NPC who was formerly (and originally) a bird. |

| Deynada Skoolyatoodeth, the mutant raccoon |
First Heroes Unlimited player character to hide his arsenal in a U-Haul Self Storage Lot |
| Elegyn the diviner |
Most ridiculous, initial role-played action in Dungeons and Dragons ever. Here’s the story: upon arriving in the Twilight Faerie Realm she arrived with a group of dead ironfang. After detecting magic on the area, she noticed that one of the ironfang’s elven longswords was fairly magical (+2 actually). Frustrated, the player asked me “well, is any of the bark on the surrounding trees magical? It’s not? Well damn.” And she walked away, leaving the longsword where it lay, telling no one about it! |
| Elegyn the diviner |
Most futile final action by a PC ever in the history of tabletop gaming. Covered in green slime which was dissolving her flesh, her eyes melting and sizzling away to nothingness and alone in the dark with seconds to live, her player announces that she will sit down and try to memorize a first level spell. After the DM explained the futility of this course of action, the player said, “Well, I’m going to try.” Surprise: she died a few seconds later. |
| Flann the druid. |
First level one druid to simultaneously dismount and kill (with one hit each) multiple, mounted, lance-wielding higher-level cavaliers with a quarter staff and an AC of 8 in a single battle while quoting from Pulp Fiction. |
| Funkbacka |
Wookie having hit on the most non-wookie females ever in the history of tabletop gaming. |

Arguably the first wookie role-played with “soul.” |
| Galvan “Cock-Diesel” Guardian of Minstael. |
Greediest player character ever in the history of TRPGs. |
| Galvan “Cock-Diesel” Guardian of Minstael. |
PC having lost the most parts of his anatomy in battle in any TRPG campaign, and having survived to tell the tale. These include one or more legs, several fingers, and at least two parts of arms. All were replaced or regenerated. |
| Gunther S. Thompson |
Most outmatched player character in the history of Dungeons and Dragons, possibly even in the history of tabletop role-playing. In the moment of his death, his AC (10) exceeded the value of his hit points (8), he was naked, out of drugs (which he needed to imbibe to use any of his psionics), and caught in the open by an extra-dimensional, futuristic, Urban combat Mech with and AC of -21, 2,380 hit points summating all locations of it’s body, and the firepower of a small fantasy nation of high-level wizards. The robot’s hit roll (based on a 2E D&D thaco of -1) hit by more than 20 including bonuses and cut poor Gunther in half with a laser that simultaneously incinerated him. |
| Gunther S. Thompson |

First player D&D player character to specialize in assault rifle. |
| Kincade "The Dark Jedi" |
First D&D PC to anally rape another PC during a game session. The recipient was a Sea Paladin who, just prior, was shaking his ass at the Jedi while enacting a scene from Ace Ventura.

| Kincade "The Dark Jedi" |
First PC to methodically kill a kitten with a lightsaber. "It was surgical even..." |

Oldest Purling player character ever. His nickname was, of course, grandpa. |

First to detect evil on a television set. There was a faint emanation. This device was located in a wizard's abode in Wonderland, which was quite modern and properly wired to specifications. |
| Lacklan Saberhagen |
The absolute most bad ass human single-class fighter ever in the history of tabletop gaming. |
| Lacklan Saberhagen |
First player character to deep-kiss a medusa during combat. He didn’t turn to stone or get bit by her hair-snakes: she even enjoyed it. |

First player character to use bunnies offensively in a death illusion. |
| Lord Nymhrath du Conar Silrith |
First rock gnome to avoid death at the hands of a drow who charmed him by resorting to romantic and sexual techniques. |
| “Luckslinger” |
Worst single-scene, deliberate use of a super-vehicle in Heroes Unlimited. With his opponent concealed in total cover behind any one of several large desert rock formations, he continued firing particle beams into the area blindly at a mutant animal while parked along side the road and in full view of local Police, who were not supposed to know he was a super agent. The mutant animal was able to easily target the vehicle, and an altercation began between “Luckslinger” – an awful name by the way – and the cops. I should also mention that there was no reason for "Luckslinger" to attack the mutant animal in the first place... |
| Mighty Quinn Machismo "X". |
Most wanted (by the authorities) character ever in a Heroes Unlimited world. |

First Heroes Unlimited character to have the in-game governor of a state (New York) call out the National Guard and declare martial law for their direct actions. |

First PC to engage in a mortar duel. |
| Mighty Quinn Machismo "X". |
First Heroes Unlimited character to be critically hit by twin .50 caliber machine guns, each firing 100 rounds, and survive |
| Mighty Quinn Machismo "X". |
Absolute most feared Heroes Unlimited character ever. Robotic super-agents, with no ability to feel emotions, fear having to face this mutant lion. |
| Minroth Thrain |
The first ember dwarf player character ever. |
| Minroth Thrain |
The first ember dwarf to hit on a human female. Her name was of course Maramell of Lorwin. |

| Minroth Thrain |
The first player character ever in a Michael Van Ness campaign to seriously consider suicide in-character as a means to save a friend. |
| Moresco Niphraem |
First to cure the common cold with paladin abilities. I think the recipient was a dwarf in the citadel-city of Augengar. |
| Moresco Niphraem |
Absolute most bad ass non-min-maxed character ever. This honor was solidified after his actions at the battle of witches-burning, in the Sword Lands, where he was forced to dismount in order to continue whipping ass because his horse was just getting in the way. Moresco, who had a strength of maybe 15, with not even a +0 weapon, defeated over 15 Swordlander cavaliers during this battle, many over his own level. |
| Myra "the persistent" |
Absolute worst wild mage ever. Why? For starters, she voluntarily used Xanadu’s Psychotic Dweomer and Super Psychotic Dweomer, since Nhall’s Reckless Dweomer wasn’t chaotic enough. Her only real success, aside from generating several succubus versions of herself, was somehow surviving the moments where bursts of wild energy destroyed everything around her. |
| Ophi "the silent but deadly" |
First character to decorate aesthetically (from a certain point of view) with entrails. The location: entrance to the pyramid of Amun-Re, “The Desert Realm.” The entrails: former pieces of a goat daemon and his worm-zombie allies. Time Spent: In excess of 40 minutes to get them “just right.” |

The first PC to regularly burst into flames upon lying. |
| Ophi "the silent but deadly" |

The first player character to stop advancing as a cavalier in order to pursue a career as a psionicist. |
| Ophi "the silent but deadly" |
The first PC ever in the history of TRPGs to destroy Molly Ringwald with a spear attack to the head. This modern NPC was of course summoned via wild magic, and lasted all of perhaps six seconds? |
| Ophi "the silent but deadly" |
The first PC ever to critically hit a Care Bear. Yes of course it was with a spear in the head; there was much stuffing to be found afterward. |
| Primus |
The first dark purling to gain stark-white fur. Of course, this was the result of wild magic, specifically wild magic from Fastred. |
| Primus |
The highest level Dungeons and Dragons 2.x edition, triple class character ever. As of this page’s last update, he was a fighter/8, thief/11, psionicist/9. Damn. |
| Primus |
The first player character who, while sleeping through an entire battle, earned more experience point than a character who fought in the battle! This occurred during the battle of Corvette barn, post-apocalyptic Earth. This was partially the result of said player helping out and participating, with interest, in the game session and not trying to get woken up out-of-character. He was also spending PSPs at the time. |
| Rascarr “the chancellor of Chi” |
Most resurrections of any character in a universe/campaign where resurrection magic is generally unavailable: 7 |
| Rascarr “the chancellor of Chi” |
First PC to quote a Lucky Charms commercial while engaged in battle with an elf. |

First PC to deliberately leap off a 100’ waterfall because it was noon. |
| Ray |
Hungriest hobbit in the history of the multi-verse. |

Worst good-aligned cavalier in the history of tabletop gaming in regard to upholding his chivalric code. During one game session, he took over a town by pimping out and mercilessly slapping and beating a group of prostitutes and barmaids. |
| Slipstring |
First player character ever to gain a negative experience award at the end of a game session. How? See entry above! |
| Slipstring |
Worst non-suicide, individual tactical move ever by a player character in combat. Slipstring was surrounded by enemy cavaliers. Realizing his D&D 2.x edition rear armor class was 10 (purlings don’t wear armor), he fell down on his back, “to get rid of his rear armor class.” His opponents gleefully hacked away… |
| Slipstring |
Most gold pieces spent on decorating a personal weapon: 25,000 gp. The weapon was a bi-rapier. Slipstring’s player took the following passage in Unearthed Arcana very seriously: “…a cavalier character will always seek to possess the very best and finest-quality armor [and weapons] the character is able to own. In this endeavor, appearance is as important as function, so engraving, inlaying, and decoration…will always be sought.” (Grub 1985: 15). |
| Solutourous the Anti-Paladin |
Shortest amount of time for a paladin (well, anti-paladin) owning a “called warhorse” (Ok, a nightmare, which makes this record even worse): 140 seconds of in-game time. |
| Solutourous the Anti-Paladin |
Also the first anti-paladin to order his horse into a river of holy water! |
| Subcommandante Julio Vega |
First PC to successfully role-play entire game sessions as a disembodied head. That he was a robot helped along this achievement; Mighty Quinn used to wear his head like a hip-hop medallion, and frequently used him to look around corners and so forth. |
| Subcommandante Julio Vega |
First robotic character to install an electric grill into his chest and use it successfully as a weapon. |
| Subcommandante Julio Vega |
First robot PC to dual wield police-officer-snagged-on-grappling-hook and mouth-flamer. |

Most aberrations created by a player character: 72 He generated 17 beholders, 15 observers, 12 eyes of Roth, 17 other beholder-kin, and 11 gibbering mouthers! |
| Tenagra |
Most individual, living forms a player character has ever polymorphed into in one magical event (not counting atomic particles and such): 72 |
| Vulpecula |
First D&D PC to enter a modern ventilation duct and crawl to safety like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. |
| Vulpecula |
First D&D player character to use a compound bow in combat. |
| Wubba-wubba the barbarian |
The most stereotypical player character ever. |
| Zagygfizzber |
Most negative hit point total that was actually calculated for a Dungeons and Dragons 2.x character: -626 hit points. This was achieved after he created a wild surge cascade and detonated all gold in a certain radius (and he was greedy). |
