Plans

I normally try to come up with a plan the suits my characters lifestyle.

Cunning rogue? Sneak in and steal the mcguffin, poison the bbeg at a formal dinner without him knowing, rob the treasury and leg it to another continent before the lich takes over this one.

Honorable knight? Raise an army, inspire the people,gather the 5 sacred artifacts, destroy the phylactery, get killed in the final battle to inspire the party to finish the fight.

Full Caster? Lead the party on a bunch of quests, acquire levels and equipment, learn their weaknesses and backstab them, become lich and rule kingdom.

All joking aside, I don't like buying magic items most of the time, so I spend all of my character's money on a bag of holding and whatever looks interesting in the shops. Whenever there's downtime I write down potential uses for the things I have on the off chance one of those circumstances arises.

We once stalled Jesus by teleporting in a North Korean to disbelieve in angels.

There are two kinds of players...

>design a complex city, with the idea being to fight your way into the middle for the BBEG encounter
>"hey guys, rather than risk infiltrating, why don't we take out airship, fill it with explosives, use the endless acid rain to hide our approach, and ram the fortress before detonating it?"

I had a cleric named Bosephus Appleseed. His plan was to get captured, wait for the BBEG's lieutenant to lean over him while gloating/interrogating him, and grab him by the face while casting Inflict Wounds as an 8th level spell. I finally got to shout, "GOOD! IVE GOT HIM RIGHT WHERE I WANT HIM!" in response to my DM trying to be an edgelord with how doomed I was.
