Pep-o-mancer.
You verbally motivate your foes until they are so pumped up that the make a fatal mistake, take your dangerous suggestions or simply die of a heart attack.
Even if you foe is hacking at you, you keep dodging them and cheering them on until you can take advantage of their frustration and confusion.

Player has a deck of cards
Instead of rolling he plays one hand of Poker with the DM to determine success or failure
Using ceirtain abilities during the game he can rearrange the deck, one card at a time, according to his needs.
When out of cards he is forced to rest for the night and the player shuffles the deck

The character can give a coreography, and use preforemance to dance it.
The twist; it can encite opponents to follow him.
>>
Bureaucromancer. He imposes additional steps on enemies that have to be carried out by the DM, each with a point of failure to make theit turn either less effective or more likely to fail. Force the DM to roll for the enemy's movement (with the original upper bound being a twenty, the lower they roll the slower they go.) If you're going to swing that sword you'll have to roll for your grip to make sure you don't drop it. Changing direction while you move now costs a full action, you can either turn to face us and do nothing else or swing blindly with disadvantage.

someone with the power to create working voodoo dolls, but the only work on himself.

So he must play act fighting enemies with his dolls in order to actually do it.

It is like you like the practical approach. Where is your spirit of wizard?

Yes.
Also your boobs serve as the reservoir of your magic power so they grow as you grow in power.

No, what I meant was "Using blood magic that even allows for someone else's blood to be used, instead of requiring your own". That's not real blood magic and you know it

I actually played a game of Don't Read You Head where my madness power was to instantly be able to summon products from the Penguin Company. Anything close to present tech level, from coffee mugs to guns and planes.

Dinodruid.

The player has a dinosaur encyclopedia. They roll a die (or more likely, a RNG) and whatever they roll is the page number that they flip to. They turn into that dinosaur for the duration of the spell.

Kind of like wild magic, but better in every possible way.

Combat bugbag, blood mage that picks up as many plagues and STDs and parasites and weaponizes them against enemies, sending them into advanced stages of illness rapidly. Each new disease hurts physical stats and gives appropriate debuffs but empowers damaging magic. Comes with some healing abilities to explain how they survive being a breeding pit of disease and perhaps can share this healing with any allied willing to be within spitting range of them.

The Soulpriest. A monk-like divine class that specializes in touch spells, able to slip in and out of melee quickly. The gimmick: the soulpriest can slowly pull his soul away from his body, starting with "reaching out" to surprise enemies or extend his reach, and eventually separating entirely to be in two places at once.

The last Pathfinder expansion did something like this with the medium. Let yourself get posessed by progressively bigger and meaner spirits to get bigger and meaner spells.
>>
The Hexmage. Uses hexes to control and stop enemy attack. Employs debuffs and focuses on buff allies. The unique feature is that there are roughly zero direct damage spells in his arsenal. This makes companions necessary.

Berserker subtype that gains the powers of enemies that it eats. Eating a dragon=breath weapon, undead=level drain attack, beholder=random effect spells, etc.

The catches are:
>target has to be alive or recently dead
>has to eat a major organ and not just skin eating genitals may be allowed at DM discretion; blowjobs don't count
>comes in Endocannibal (eats friends) and Exocannibal (eats enemies) archetypes
>can only nom and use powers when raging
>powers are lost after, *ahem*, excretion

What could possibly go wrong?

New idea. The self-summoner, able to teleport himself to any place, as long as he there at the moment.

At higher levels he also gains the ability to time travel into the future at a rate of 1 second per second.
