I always wanted to make a DND character that's a warrior but was raised with mages so he believed he was a mage. The mages were just too nice to tell him that he was a warrior and kept on encouraging him on his "spells". He would throw a Molotov cocktail and call it fireball and other antics. Sometimes he would get frustrated and punch things and call it mage fist.
Once played a barbarian who told everyone they were a wizard. They practiced time magic, and using their magic staff (great hammer), they took the very years of life away from their victims.
Had a bard companion who would advise people against telling him he's not casting spells, he's just hitting people very hard, as that enrages him and he goes into a "casting rage"
"The hammers magic, and technically, he's not wrong on the potential of your lifespan in either direction.
Do you really want to get into an argument on the finer points of this?"
It's a good idea !
I love this idea so much.
There was a D20Deathmatch where one of the characters was a barbarian who tried to extort a wizzard to make him a wizzard and got cursed into the behaviour you described.
