Amusing Orcish Anecdote
From 4chan’s traditional game’s board comes this amusing orcish anecdote:
Reminds me of a friend’s character from a D&D game a while back. He was a half-orc barbarian who was absolutely convinced that he was a wizard. He had an arsenal of “spells” such as “Blind” (kicking dirt in the enemy’s face), “Inside-Out Man” (a slash to the enemy’s gut), and “Invisible Head” (decapitation).
Best of all was his familiar, who’s name was “Rock”. Rock was just an ordinary rock…but not to him. It was sort of an explanation for his Wisdom score, though, which was actually very high. His Intelligence, not so much.
I believe he ended up heroically sacrificing himself one day, though, by swallowing several vials of Oil of Impact, setting himself on fire, and hugging a Mind Flayer. He had explained that it was his best but most dangerous magic, “Me Bomb”.

That’s awesome. I would use that as an NPC, but I already showed my players…
It actually seems like something that would fit with an aggressive Bard-type, as well. Arcane Spell Failure? Hah! I’ll show you the somatic component for “Invisible Head”!
