We have in our adventuring party, a male, half-drow bard named Minky Boodle. His defining characteristic is his penchant for wearing women's underpants. We just cannot break him from it. Is this because he is a 1/2 elf or because he is a bard?

What's even stranger is that this guy seems to be on a perpetual panty raid. After every combat, when the rest of the party is counting coins & gems; the sorcerer is identifying magic items; and the cleric is healing; this guy is looking for panties!

Has anyone else had this problem in their campaign?

No. And I pray to Pelor than I never do.

Alan, you have been here far longer than those who I would have expected this kind of a spam post from. Did someone else get hold of your account?

For the unlearned of the ways of Hollywood, Alan Smithee is the pseudonym a writer or director uses on the credits of a film with which he doesn't want his real name associated.

Alan Smithee's just for directors. Writers do something else when they want to pull their names (though I can't recall off-hand what that is).

Anyhow, yeah, you gotta love the Triple B: Bad Bard Behavior. Yours sounds like something right out of Rocky Horror. Most bard PCs I've ever come across tend to be fairly outrageous. An African-American friend of mine made a drow bard, got a mini and made a little banjo for him, then sang minstrel songs.

Something about the class brings it out. The NPCs, otoh, tend to be button-down, but I suspect that has more to do with the GMs energy than anything else. I've got a quasi-halfling bard who's fairly Clinton-esque. Statesman by day, pimp by night...
