After GMing for any significant period of time one has to deal with some unusual character requests. Sometimes players want to try something new or just different. Every once in a while a player will approach the GM with a very unusual or strange character idea.
This got Saul and Jolene wondering what the most unusual character requests have been put forth by players. Jolene found on Reddit about a player that wanted to play a 5 year of Tiefling. Saul remembered a story about a player that wanted to play a very old bar owner.
What should you consider when a player asks to play a very unusual character. One that as a GM believe might break your game or world or not fit in to the group's idea of a good character.
Thank you all for listening
