Why would you need to not follow "3d6 in order" to accomplish that? I am going to post my chars as they were originally, and to my deep shame, I m not sure if I ever rolled up a " 3d6 in order, Oh the Humnity Wow, you didn't use 3d6 in order? What were you thinking? We might have to revoke your old school gamer card? Drum you out of the forum for heresy even? Man, and you even admitted to it? All kidding aside , I am really looking forward to seeing these characters.

Samantha LG Mystic Theurge Sam was by far one the the most technical chars I ever played. She was a Mystic Theurge, which is a dual Cleric Mage. The simple version of this is that she progressed as both a cleric and a mage, ending up w a huge number of spells. the problem I had seen other Theurges run into is that they have all the spells of 2 classes yet only had the actions of one. I solved this problem by using instant and free action spells, effectively becoming the best pure utility spell caster. The mage side of her cast a nasty instant I had found that was a 3td level spell that allowed for the re rolling of D20S , using this offensively and defensively, effectively shutting down all the critical hits of the enimey and avoiding critical'miss's . Before combat she buffed everyone's stats and combat values. having a few offensive spells that I don't believe she ever used. As I said the ultimate in utility.As to RPing she was all buisness and when she wasnt she had her nose in spellbooks. El Borak Q Man

Sampson CG cleric(sort of...) Ok mechanically Sampson was a combat cleric. he cast 3 spells winding up and became the best melee fighter in the party. But he had a really interesting RPING Hook. He started life as an LE wizard(all back story, never played him as a wiz). He was an evil terror, A very high level cleric cursed him to be in all ways to have the behavior of a CG cleric however he could talk like an evil wizard. He was constantly berating the fighters for getting hurt and needing to be cured. The party thought I had split personality.. Amazing fun to play.
i had missed the previous game one time and when I got there, the party was in the middle of melee and was retreating. I was just able to cast a spell that would keep the one fighter alive but he continued to take damage, going to minus 150, I saved him from a dm determined to kill somebody, all the while being blasted w wiz spells. Second most fun to play PC I ever had, Number 1 is next

What did the DM hit him with? am pretty sure(been a long time) that the spell I cast(4th or 5th L) I can't remember but it had to be wiz and fireballs cause we were both getting hit, both these char are 3.5.The spell I cast kept him from dying at any negative.

Ikela LG Invoker(fireball thrower) St 18 Int 18 Wis 16 Con 17 Dx 17 Cha 13 (legally rolled on 4d6 take the best 3)
Ikela is my oldest Char that I still play from time to time. He was rolled as a 2nd ed char,the week the PHB came out. He is also the only 2 ed char I ever played and thus it is the ed I am least familiar with. He attended paladin school but had neither the cha or temperament to be one as he has a little temper. On graduating Wiz school and starting his adventuring, he was in a party w a female paladin, who he fell into love at first sight, she viewed him as an annoyance.So that should have been that, but he pined for her, mentioning it seldom and growing more bitter. Then when he was 6th level he was frozen and "sent" 600 years into the future, emerging in a reality, that the love of his life was long dead. This effected him greatly, becoming very bitter and heart sick, coming close to changing into LN or poss even worse...
In addition to fireball throwing he has remade the L1 melee spell "Stone Fist" using it to break heads his whole career. To this day I dust him off and play him, also using him as an NPC.

Ok last of the off topic chars Xur LG (or what happens if you pattern a wiz after Sheldon Cooper from " Big Bang Theory") Int 22
So I took the above named char and twisted him as a Fireball thrower .Xur looked VERY far down at "Stupid People" and mostly refused to talk to you unless you had an Int of at least 16. He was addicted to the 2nd Level spell "Fox's Cunning" that boosted his int by 4, when in town relaxing, he would memorize all of his 2 nd and 3rd L slots with this spell, and acted quite drunk. The only recreation was playing chess w the smartest hooker he could find, all night long. The best part: The other players loved him!. They actually started looking at their feet when they talked to him and would send in the 2nd smatest party member to talk to me.
For the climactic battle, we fought a humanoid mass of worms that was a sort of liche, the DM preped vrs me as my fireball throwing antics(I was an extraordinary fireball thrower)but I preped Lots of Dispel Magics and other disruptive type spells to interfere w his casting. Before the fight the coolest thing anybody said to my char in my reply to saying I hadnt preped any fireballs, "You've got a plan , Right?(in a voice that was respectful and a little scared>PRICELESS!) "Yes but I am not going to tell you what it is, you only have an IQ of 13"

It's kind of fun playing super-powered (or high level characters) who still fall victim to bad rolls at JUST the wrong time. Depending on the wit of the GM, often enough. Barry Allen's first super-villain was, after all, the Turtle -- and Jay Garrick's Turtle villain was even more entertaining in the Golden Age.

One-Eye Fighter +2 damage on melee attacks -4 to hit w missile weapons ST 11 Int 8 Wis 7 Dx 9 Con 12 Cha 14 One-Eye is a strikingly handsome man with a set of claw scars going across his dead right eye(he cannot see out of this eye). One_Eye has compensated for his poor vision by mastering melee . A loner who doesn't talk much except about one topic: How he lost his eye> He has dozens of stories documenting his injury. No 2 are the same as he tells the lies with a smile.(OK El Borak , Look , no drama, )
