I’m comparing myself to members of the same sex and comparing it to percentages that sound about right. I’m considering 10 average (no bonuses or penalties.) Don’t be bashful! Str: 9 (Figure a 10 can lug 70 lbs all day) Dex: 10 Con: 9 Wis: 15 Int: 17 (based on IQ score I guess I’d be an 18 but it doesn’t feel right) Cha: 17 (Gotta meet me in person 😉 ---

What’s the guidelines in terms of realworld performance? It’s a long time since I’ve sat down with a Player’s Handbook. I suppose: Str: 12 Dex: 10 Con: 7 Wis: 9 Int: 14 Cha: 10, possibly 5 if I’m in a bad mood Lawful (boardering on true) Neutral Additional skills in Martial Arts, dodge, appraisal, alertness and looting. ---

This is difficult, but I’ll give it a try. Str: 10 Dex: 15 Con: 14 Int: 17 Wis: 9 Cha: 10 Looks like they’re a bit high, across the board. Maybe more so than they should be. Oh well… ---

Str: 8 (I’m a skinny geek, and an adolescent) Dex: 14 (I’m good with my hands, and I just generally move quickly and precisely) Con: 11 (I have a good pain threshold) Int: 16-17 (I’m pretty intelligent) Wis: 12 (I have a decent intuition) Cha: 13 (I have my charms) ---

Str 12 Dex 11 Con 15 Int 13 Wis 14 Cha 17 (And if you don’t agree, then SCREW YOU!!!) Why did I just know everyone would give themselves 17 INT? Was it my high Wisdom score to give me that insight? Nah, just SDMB experience. ---

According to **Sublight’s** link (which you actually need to go to [here](http://www.co.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/abilities.html) to access,) I have the following: Str: 13 Dex: 13 Con: 16 Int: 11 Wis: 13 Cha: 12 Of course, I think I am closer to: Str: 11 Dex: 14 Con: 16 Int: 14 Wis: 10 Cha: 12 ---

Strength: 9 - I’m not quite average. Dexterity: 8 - I’m a klutz. Constitution: 10 - I’m rarely sick but hate pain so it averages out. Intelligence: 14 - I was in the gifted program in school but don’t delude myself thinking I’m a genius Wisdom: 9 - I have no common sense. Charisma: 9 - I can make friends if I have to. I’d be Chaotic Good since I think laws are good things to keep society functioning but don’t think they are all worth following. And I’d want to be an elf. ---

According to the online test (which seems to give lower scores than the ones seen otherwise, I think) Strength: 7 Dexterity: 12 Constitution: 5 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 12 Charisma: 12 I do spend a lot of time sick and even bedridden, but 5 STILL seems awfully low. I think I’d take some points off of Dex and add them to Con. My alignment would be true neutral or neutral good. My current D&D bard has 3 times the charisma I do, but he actively works at it. 😃 ---

According to the Quiz: STR:8 DEX:12 CON:13 INT: 16 WIS: 13 CHA: 10 According to my own thinking: STR: 7 (weenie) DEX: 10 (tendency towards klutzyness balanced with good fine-motor skills) CON: 10 (get the occasional cold bug, not sickly) INT: 16 (got smarts: have the degree/test scores to prove it) WIS: 15 (lots o’ common sense/observational skills, points deducted for near-sightedness) CHA: 12 (people seem to like me, but i’m no great beauty or anything) I guess I’d be an alright wizard, cleric or druid. My friends like to tease me and say I’d be paladin, despite my insistence that I’m not neutral good, not lawful. ---

More than anything else, this’ll show that I have a high opinion of myself. It doesn’t bother me. Str 15 (amateur powerlifter, total 685) Dex 8 (no fine motor skills to speak of) Con 14 (I get sick once a year, and pain doesn’t bug me) Int 18 (that’s what the IQ test says) Wis 16 (trust me on this one) Cha 17 (ask the local dopers) I’m true neutral, with leanings toward chaotic good. I’d be a wizard, specifically either an illusionist or an enchanter. ---

::Sigh:: Let’s dock my wisdom a point for poor proofreading, shall we? (Please omit the not before neutral good.) ---

Wisdom 2?! Give yourself some credit. Unless you’re interested in buying this bridge… Myself? Maybe some wishful thinking here, but: Str: 8 (Slightly below average) Dex: 7 (Very clumsy! I bump into things) Con: 12 (I get ill infrequently but not terribly above average) Int: 15 (Not genius, but pretty smart) Wis: 14 (Unless you’re sneaking up and trying to scare me, -8 penalty to Listen) Cha: 9 (Just average) Alignment: neutral good ---

STR: 18 DEX: 18 CON: 18 INT: 18 WIS: 18 CHA: 18 I get more experience points that way. (Hey, I did _not_ cheat! The dice just happened to roll all 18’s this time, honest!) ---

“I am the wondrous wizard of Latin! I am a dervish of declension and a conjurer of conjugation, with a million hit points and maximum charisma!” Hehehe. First thing that popped into my mind upon reading this thread. And this is one of the few places where I don’t even have to give the source. 😃 ---

**Sublight** ’s link gave me: Str: 8 Dex: 10 Con: 11 Int: 17 Wis: 13 Cha 13 I think the constitution and intelligence scores are little too high, and I think my wisdom is a little higher than that. I tend to be a very intuitive person, but my ability to memorize and regurgitate facts is somewhat poor. I score high on IQ tests because I can handle logical reasoning, though the Int score includes retention as well as logic. ---
