Jean Claude the bard. My favorite litrpg series, The Completionist Chronicles, has a character named Jaxon who has his charisma stat so far below his others that the game system morphs the words he hears into different sentences, and he is the most off putting and creepy guy most people meet. Luke Daniels does a good job conveying that, so I thought what if he was actually charismatic but talked like he wasn’t?
So Jean Claude was a speech bard that literally could not roll lower than a 17 on his persuasion and deception checks, was lawful evil and wanted power but was basically useless in a head on fight, was jealous of his pro-athlete little brother wizard, was the only mage in the party with a magic license and a part of the mage institute everyone else was rebelling against, and to top it all off his best friend was a guy who had no friends that he would cast friends on whenever they saw each other so Jean Claude could get some magic practice and the other guy could feel like he had a friend.
Maybe not silly by design, but I chuckle at the juxtaposition of his character’s abilities and personality every time.
