There was a DnD game I played a while back as a rogue with maxed charisma and smarts who focused more on white collar sorta crime and scams and stuff rather than pickpocketing and sneaking. By lugging around a suit of paladin armor that slowed me down and made me useless in combat, I tricked a village into starting a peasants crusade and went village to village building an army of religiously zealous followers and just kinda did a quest with several hundred peasants at my command.

If my character wasn't a con artist, yes. In this case I basically did the first crusade but for petty personal squabbles and to bleed every town dry of valuables. I was a rogue but I operated like the McKinsey Institute instead of your standard DnD sneakthief. My character was incredibly charming but an absolute opportunist and generally crappy person.
