You as a Dungeons and Dragons character

There is, the Sage class.

Back in the day there were some rules of thumb for relating stats to the real world. Strength you could figure as 1 point per 10 pounds you could press over your head. Int, either 1 point per 10 IQ points or show some other way to relate your percentile ranking in some objective test to the score probability on 3d6. Wisdom is force of will and intuition. Con is the ability to overcome illness/physical punishment. Charisma is strength of personality.

I’d probably end up being an eclectic cleric of some sort or maybe a multiclass cleric/bard.

By D&D standards, I am a 4F character, & need to be re-rolled.

Moving to the Game Room, from MPSIMS.

That’s reassuring. ISTM the more people have the same idea, the less likely it is that I am crazy.

All I’m saying is that if you’re charming you oughta give yourself a high charisma score, regardless of looks. Looks at Steve Buscemi- not really a good-looking guy, yet a movie star because he is so darn charismatic. You are too humble to claim it though, and frankly I have always found bombastic pride to be annoying so really, your humility only highlights your charm.

But I am not exactly the DM, so you get to pick your scores.

I should do myself, no?

str: 17. There are pro athletes, and there are ‘normal people’. I’m stronger than nearly all normal people, but not as strong as an athlete. And, IIRC strength could go to 18/00, with the added percentiles being football players and Arnold Schwarzeneggers.
Int, Wis- That’s tough. One one hand I am good at math and can figure things out. And I have willpower. But I’m also pretty dumb. If Una is 15 and not 18 int, I’ll say 10 int and 5 wis.
Con: 16. I don’t get sick, and I seem to be allright after being banged around a bit.
Dex: 14. Musical instruments and yoga should count for something. But I’m not a Barishnakov or a David Copperfield.
Cha: 15. Unless I am having a bad day. I’m a talker, I have a physical presence and though closer to potato than pretty, I have pretty eyes :slight_smile:

I guess I’d be a chaotic good (or maybe neutral) human cowboy. No livestock in my life, but still. Ornery enough to fight, not good enough to be famous like a bard but might play some songs by a campfire anyway. I might be able to help you wrap that cut, and I’ll shoot your dog if it needs shootin’. Not that I own a gun, but putting Old Yeller down is more about gumption than anything.

+1 at altitude.

I guess if we’re listing alignment as well, I could best be described as lawful neutral with good tendencies.

Try2B Comprehensive, I’m really guessing on things. Remembering back to the olde days of D&D, there was an article by Gygax in a Dragon magazine which tried to define some of the attributes better. IIRC he said something like Strength (up to 18) could be defined as how much you could bench-press times 12, and then from 18/01 to 18/100 it went on a geometric scale. So a person with a strength of 10 could bench-press 120 pounds. The last time I ever tried I could do about 140 (/12 = 11.67), so I rounded down to 11. A strength of 18/50, IIRC, was equal to being able to bench-press 400 pounds, which I think is quite a lot.

He said intelligence was roughly equal to:

IQ = (Intelligence -1)*10

So the rough average of 11 equates to 100 IQ. You were supposed to round down, too.

Wisdom didn’t work on a scale, but he said something like an average person gains wisdom due to age, with 1 point gained for every decade past 40. So even an average person of 60 has a wisdom of 11+2=13, etc. He also said something like education added to wisdom, where a Bachelor’s added 1 point, Master’s 2 points, PhD 3 points, etc. So I took 11 + 1 from age + 2 from education, and got 14.

Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma…I don’t think he had any formulas, but just examples. So I have no idea and just guessed. Being diabetic I assumed that meant a constitution which was poor (8).

According to some overly complicated online character-assigning-test I took a few months back, I am True Neutral (with tendencies towards Chaotic Neutral) Monk.

I can deal with that.

I don’t remember what my specific stats were, but I’m really smart, not as introspective or thoughtful, decently attractive physically with a good ability to make people like and trust me. I can endure physical activity for a long time, and carry/move much more than seems likely for my size, but I have no coordination or strength worth mentioning, despite being fairly healthy overall. I am a brown belt in a martial art, so presumably I could at least avoid being damaged by others, even if I wasn’t able to deal much of my own out.

So…

Personally, I’ve always thought I would do better as a Wizard/Sorceror (I vary preference by mood) or Rogue than a Monk, but I have a feeling the martial arts stuff tipped me over into that category instead.

I would be better *temperamentally *suited to be a Sage, but that class gets an awful progression and if I were to be forced into an adventure, I don’t want to be a total waste of space during combats.

Ok. The most I ever bench pressed was 275, over 12 = ~22, or 18/xx strength. But that was literally 20 years ago and I could not do that now. 17 is probably about right.

I am not quite 40, so no wisdom bonus for me. I tested well IQ-wise and have a bachelors, but I’m wary of claiming to be very smart when there are so many obviously smarter people out there. And again, sometimes I’m pretty dumb.

I think I remember the Dungeon Master’s Guide saying that Rasputin would have a constitution of 18. I’ve drank my share of toxicity apparently without effect, and I’ve been knocked around without breaking anything or being seriously injured so I scored myself high. For you, diabetes is manageable so maybe only warrants -1? I’ve read the stories of your brown-bottle beer-drinking so you can’t be a total fragile flower.

For dexterity I think I remember examples of pro magicians having high dexterity. Dancers and acrobats too. The Cirque de Soleil people would probably be 18s.

Tell you what. If the Keystone XL pipeline project unwittingly releases a horde of orcs and you and I are faced with one, I’ll distract him with some tom-foolery while you sneak up and stab him with the rapier! If he has enough hp to survive your first strike I’ll punch him in the face, then you stab him again, then I’ll shank him with my pocketknife. Just watch it with that thing!

This is a bit tough.
I can claim my international chess rating and running the successful chess program at a private school give me two great stats … but as for the rest :o

Half-Elf Wizard / Cleric?

Been going down as of late, my friend. Not doing well health-wise; I don’t post about it here.

Sorry to hear it. I hope you bounce back.

I have, like, 99 strength and intelligence.

I wouldn’t use IQ/10 (or some variant) for Int. A bit of quick googling can find you the bell curves for assorted IQ tests that you can compare to the bell curve for 3d6.

You’d make one helluva familiar. Too bad I’m not smart enough to cast an ‘enthrall’ spell. I’d try to convince Glee to do it for me, but he/she would probably just make you their own zombie servant. Good luck!

My character class? Fighter/rogue. Chaotic Neutral. With rapier and polearm specialization (thank you, SCA)

Based on a D&D Character test, I am a chaotic neutral druid.

Strength- 10
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 14
Wisdom- 14
Charisma- 12

I need to find a spell that turns flesh into lichens.

-3 to Reflex.

I haven’t worked with weights in a very long time, but I’m guessing that would make me about a 5 or 6, and I’m not sure I buy that. I want to say 8, but am willing to compromise at 7 (even though I know that won’t get me a higher bonus than the 6 will).

I’m going to say that a 100 IQ = 10 and 160 IQ = 20. I assume it isn’t really scalar, but will pretend it is to make the math easy. That makes me a 17.

The test gave me:

Strength- 11
Dexterity- 11
Constitution- 10
Intelligence- 17
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 12

That gives me an excuse to call it a compromise to put Strength at 8, and I know I need to bump Constitution down to 8.

So:

Strength- 8
Dexterity- 11
Constitution- 8
Intelligence- 17
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 12

The test also said I was true neutral and a Sorcerer. Not sure why it likes Sorcerer more than Wizard. I think I’m going to specialize in fermentations and digestions.

Str 8
Con 8
Dex 13
Int 15
Wis 13
Cha 13

I based most of the stats here on pre-requisites for 3rd edition. I think I could pick up feats that require a 13+ in Dex, Wiz and Chriz, and 15+ for Int.

Oh I would be a Lawful Good character (retired teacher, you know.)
