One time my friend made a kobold swashbuckler for a 3.5 campaign. It went something like this.

Kobold: I want to roll my acrobatics check to walk across the deck of the boat.

Dm: okay what’s your check bonus

Kobold (ooc): oh no uhm well it appears when I was writing in the numbers on this character sheet I put all my skill points in diplomacy in stead of acrobatics. (Take note these to skills are like 5 skills apart, he’s just bad at writing)

Dm: well if you wanna change them that’s cool with me

Kobold ooc: fuck it guess I’m a diplomat.

Kobold: dear captain if you would be so kind as to make me the captain of this boat you won’t regret it

Dm: Nat 20 you are now the proud owner of a boat you can’t stand up straight on!
