The barbarian that sits where he fits, but "accidentally" activates a pressure plate, the mook that "accidentally" unplugs the gizmo because she needed a length of something rope-like, etc. | |

Played an unintelligent (7) dwarf in PF and had him make up words, misunderstand others, misuse others and generally embarrass the party and himself (especially himself) whenever possible. Overall a nice guy, real great with swords, just dumber than a box of rocks with a book on quantum physics lol | |
