Classless AD&D Example Character

 

Name: Snag (aka Hircup the Cleric, aka Shroom the Mighty, aka Pepin the Strangler, aka "The Snagman")
Description: A common crook, residing in the City of Greyhawk. He is always on the move, hustling and scheming, in order to feed his intense drug addiction. Though "the dumb die young on the streets of Greyhawk," Snag eked out a living and advanced quickly in skill, and at ninth level was finally asked to join the Greyhawk Thieves' Guild. The one thing he has going for him is his incredible drug-driven energy and lack of need for sleep, which keeps him working and making money (and experience) while other thieves sleep the day away.
Alignment: Neutral Evil
