Test of the Soul and Body

Remove all ads!

This is a test I devised myself, to decide everything a person would be in the DnD world. I originally posted this on the Bioware forums, but felt it would be fun to bring up here. The tests to determine class and god cannot be shown here, due to formatting issues. Have fun!


The Test of the Soul and Body

In this text you will discover many tests to determine your fate in the realm of Dungeons and Dragons. The first of these tests is to determine your fate among the eternal struggle of light versus darkness. The second will be of ideology in that is between order and chaos. The third will be a self-evaluation in that you will judge yourself of physical and mental attributes. The forth will be of the life you will take on in the land of sword and sorcery. The fifth will determine the role you will play out in this fantastic medieval setting. The sixth and final will tell of which religion you would belong to.

is this really a post for Creativity Surge?
Shouldnt this be in Whatnots...

 

any chance getting this on a "point-click and automatically calculate results" format? its too much work to answer as it is

 

I'm much too lazy to calculate this on my own. So I just decided to give the standard answer - 42.

 

Contact me if you want it in the point-click format, but you do need to explain the formula for stats, as it seems totally random in the current form.

 

I can't do this. Make it point and click.

 

If you want a user-friendly format, Axe of Revisoring from the Bioware Baldur's Gate 2 forums made this one. But it only does the alignment. http://alas.matf.bg.ac.yu/~mr02117/q/core.php?qdir=q
By the way, thanks to whoever moved the post. I didn't quite know where to put it.

 

Answer: 'Neutral Good'

And all this time I have been picking 'Chaotic Good' in all AD&D games.

 

Chaotic Good, just like i always play.

 

Chaotic evil.

 

True neutral? Me?

 

Neutral Good? Huh?

I thought I was Chaotic Good.

 

Neutral good human with slightly about average in most plus high Wisdom & Inteligence.

 

True Neutral, but neutral just barely beat out both Law and Good. This just shows that I can be any one of four alignments: lawful good, neutral good, lawful neutral and true neutral. Who knows? Maybe I was just in a True Neutral mood today.

 

Me too!

 

Xei, my long-lost distant male relative!

*huggles*

 

chaotic evil??? me?? yerg, I thought I was Chaotic Good If saving your friend's life and slaying dragons aren't noble deeds then i don't know what are

 

Zero-sized reply error?

Bl**dy Uni computers.

 

A word of advice: if you ever contemplate using outdated grammatical forms, use them properly or not at all. Grammatical errors like "thou hath" destroy the quaint atmosphere.

The original Ultima test was full of such improper forms. And the people who made it were bloody native speakers!

And it says Neutral Good for me. However, many of those questions seem to me to have no bearing on alignment at all. Also, many contain more than one answer heading in the same direction on the axes of alignments. Several others hold controversial pre-judgement. I would work on it a little more.

Chaotic Neutral

And Faraaz, I would like you to have that alignment in your next PnP session. C'mon, I dare you.
