37. Abnormally Small/Large Race
Ever met a dragonborn the size of a dwarf, or a halfling the size of a small human? You have now, guaranteed to create awkwardness and taunts from your own race.
In 3 & 3.5, I liked the fact that there are rules for changing size, Ta-Da, human Midget. (Please, any "little" people do not get offended, but in my games, fantasy can mimic real life, so I dont like to call smaller humans "Dwarves" and midget is a term, in my games, for any humanoid creature one size category smaller than normal; IE tiny sized "midget" halfling, medium sized "midget" giant) Never played or ran a game where someone played an oversized (1 size category larger, any more is just unnatural) character.

72: The Goliath Wizard - He focuses on summoning more than anything and can kind of rough it up in combat if need be, but he prefers to let his summons do all the work.
73: Gnome Barbarian/Sorcerer - Tends to get some strange looks when people hear her talking tough and trying to intimidate someone but she will wipe those looks from their faces in due time...
74: Wizard Who Thinks He's a Fighter - Got into a fight once and won by stabbing the badguy with his dagger. Now, he thinks he's better at melee fighting than spellcasting.

... Bonus points if the player can pull off an educated tone in a broad scottish accent.
Sean Connery?

54.A gooey fighter
A fighter that loves to use oozes & such as long distance weapons & has developed strong resistances to their attacks as a result!
Not what I was thinking originally, thought maybe that should be intended for the Mature forums. Glad to see I was wrong.

. . . or anything other than the overused, lame, and terribly cliche scottish accent!
Thats something that gets me about ANY movie, video game, or anything else involving dwarves, their origin comes from Norse mythology and in Qabbala, I might be wrong though, they are earth elementals, so why Scottish, why not Norwegian or Scandinavian, or even Yiddish? "Oy, those humans are so meshugginah, and dont even get me started on the elven schlameels. Now, wheres the beer, I want to get fershnickered"
(PS, if there are any Jews who speak yiddish on these forums, please send me a PM with the correct spellings, 'cause I just know I got those wrong, I just guessed)

along the lines of this is the woodcarver 71. basically a woodcarving wizard that one day manages to create a child for himself/herself,but one day the child is kidnapped & the person is not sure who did it so the person now wanders the world trying to find his/her child again!
Pinnochio !!!

75: The gone "local".
An Eladrin spends more time in a human settlement than the Feywild. Learning military arts, he begins to identify with the human culture more than the Eladrin. He goes to dog/"rooster"/bear fights, and tournaments, drinks ale from a dirty mug rather than wine from a crystal goblet and is basically the embarassment of his entire family "back home".

78. The unaligned or good worshiper of an evil god People expect skulls and human sacrifice, and this adventurer simply gives them pamphlets about the wisdom of Asmodeus's teachings. After all, a functional society should not condone weakness, should rule with strength, and should be firm and steadfast it it's purpose, not letting itself become distracted by the pleas of those who trampled by "progress". Manipulation, to the mind of this unusual adherent is simply a tool that makes oneself and others stronger, not as an outright evil method. Similar disciples might adhere to the faith of other evil deities, whether because they were raised to believe in such a deity, or simply because the deity's dogma makes sense.
