Weirdest D&D Ability
D&D Related
Name: Ginre
Comments: What's the weirdest D&D ability you made up for your character that wasn't part of any of the D&D manuals and your DM accepted it? I had one where my character never forgot anything and could recall everywhere he had been said, etc.
I made up an ability that caused me to see people change color based on their emotions: joy, sadness, etc. I could also tell if they were lying all based on their color, it was really good.
Almost every character I have had, has had the same strange ability. Somehow my characters always do the dumbest things in the middle of what I actually want them to do. I have tripped over a piece of wood into a fire, sprung my own trap, magically cast my spell wrong, a rock has randomly fell out of the sky and landed on my head, the list goes on and on.
So I guess my ability is to evoke the wrath of god on myself.

Maybe you should stop creating chaotic evil characters and that will stop
I have never had any strange abilities other than the ones given to you in the system but what I do try to do is build up such a high level in one thing that I almost can never fail at it.
No I'm not the chaotic evil guy who randomly stabs townsfolk. I am the guys who thinks of a way to solve the puzzle in a way the GM never anticipated. I'm the guy who rolls a natural 20 4 times in a row.
The closest I can get to a weird ability was one of the fist characters I rolled. I ended up with max strength and then boosted it up a couple of times with some items and stuff. My character ended up having the strength of a Titan or something insane like that (I think my strength was 26 or thereabouts).
My favorite ability / skill would have to be using the disguise spell. I have found about 1000 and 1 uses and counting for that thing.
