I need help creating a character to resemble me...

Could you guys give your opinions on the race and class of this description:

Naturally strong; does not work out really and still has above average muscle toning. If I pumped iron, I could become seriously ripped.

Not that quick. EXCELLENT reflexes, but often I am clumsy and I can't make a quick offensive attack worth crap.

Excellent health; I can take plenty of damage, and the only ay to bring me down is to incapacitate me. I have asthma, and hay fever as weaknesses, but I also have certain immunities/resistances, such as to sunburn and poison oak/ivy.

Quite intelligent. Not the most educated at this point, but I was #1 in my class without trying, against several very hard-working intellectuals.

I find myself to be wise as in, I *know* exactly what needs to happen and what the cause will be. I have none of the fancies and stupid delusions most people get, and am very practical. HOWEVER-- this does not always apply to my behavior, and often is the time when I'll do something stupid/crazy for amusement, or something unwise just for the sake of doing it.

I'm not all that charismatic. I can be charming with the ladies, because I am above-average in looks, and I have a way with words; if I know you on a personal level, chances are you love me. But with groups of people, I lack something. For some reason, they have been known to single me out before I even do anything, and even more so AFTER I do something. HAHAA!!

Qualities: I am fiercely loyal to my friends, and would (hypothetically) die for them given the chance. I am also fiercely loyal to my beliefs, though I am not the most educated in them, so I tend to get my can kicked in debates. I don't understand the love of one's country, because I love all countries and (most) cultures, and I would side with whoever is right, not just automatically go with my country because I was born in it. People often say I'm a traitor because of this...

Cons: I am quite arrogant. As is anyone with qualities of this nature. I think I'm better than pretty much everyone, and it will get me far in life, but eventually it may lead to trouble with my betters, should I come into conflict with them. I am also quite LAZY, hence the lack of much education.

Side notes: I can be the lurker in the corner, the stone-silent watcher of goings-on, or I can be the obnoxious psycho in the midst of the revelry. I have been known to be both. My personality often changes, and I like to put up a facade of being stupid and crazy (few people know the real me), mostly for my own amusement, and partially for people to underestimate me. Many do this, and I don't try to stop them (I often encourage it) because that will give me the edge if I ever compete with said persons. I rarely ever get into fights, EVER. I am calculating enough that I will not fight unless it is absolutely necessary, and it is only so against people I hate. Therefore, I go totally berserk in combat (hence why you NEED to incapacitate me) and I strike furious blows, not caring if I send my opponent to the hospital. Since I hate few people, though, I pretty much never fight. So hardly anyone about me knows what I am capable of. It's commonly known as "flip-mode." I like to act evil, and the idea intrigues me, it would be quite fun, but ultimately, I would choose the side of good. Naturally, I don't care what people think about me, and I would still get picked on if I hadn't advanced in power. I can pursue basically any career I want to, so class may be hard to determine. You guys are very smart though, so I figure you'll be able to analyze what I do not.

What race and class would you consider me to be?

 

Race: Beholder j/k seriusly: human or gnome

stats: (remember: 9-12 are average stats)

14
15
9 (allergies: not "constitutional")
16
12
16

alignment: Lawfull Neutral/Chaotic Neutral. You sound a bit like Anomen... (or a slightly bit saner version of Jan Jansen)

 

Also, I have a code of honor, which I refuse to break. I have shining eyes, and a passionate soul. I may commit crimes and do wrong, but in the end, I have a good heart.

Ah, so I'd have a low-ish con, with a few resistances?

 

Dwarven Fighter, LG in alignment.

 

Bit of a contradiction there. Having a code of honor, would make you Lawful. Breaking laws, but having a good heart, would make you Neutral or Chaotic Good.

 

I suppose I wasn't specific enough... Code of honor as in, I won't strike them while they're down; disregard for laws as in, I will cast magic where I damn well want to...

 

Chaotic Good then. You believe in the concept of all that is good, but are a bit rebellious and have little use for laws. Maybe CN with good tendancies (but that is a lame caveat).

Race:
Probably Human - it is you afterall.

Class:
Not educated - so I would rule out Mage
Not good in crowds - so I would rule out Bard
No strong religeous beliefs (from what you've said) - so I would rule out Cleric
Maybe a rogue would suit better. Good reflexes and intelligence - these suit a rogue perfectly.

 

Id go with Human (obvious reason being you are)
Chaotic good
Dont mix too well with crouds and a bit wise, good reflexes and intelligence, id say ranger.
For stats... I cant think that far, too tired

 

I agree, you would probly make a good ranger.
Human
Chaotic Good
Probely an archer
15 str
14 dex
12 con
16 int
15 wis
9 cha

 

Two polls Chev posted a while back to calculate what you 'real' stats are. May or may not be accurate.

Number One

Number Two

 

im a neutral neutral human monk, heh. odd, i thought id be classed as a chaotic neutral mage or something haha. in the other i got 11 11 10 13 13 11

odd, i thought i'd get a higher cha and con at a lower str penalty :/

 

Actually, I like this one to resemble my stats

http://www.co.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/abilities.html

 

According to the test; I am a Neutral Evil Dwarven Barbarian, with the following stats:

Str:15
Dex:14
Con:13
Int(pt1/pt2):13/11
Int:12
Wis:11
Cha:10


or:


13
12
15
13
13
12

pretty cool

 

Apparently im a laful good human bard with these stats: STR 10
DEX 14
CON 12
INT 13
WIS 11
CHA 13
Cool, might make that charcter.

 

i was a human berzerker/cleric, cant remember stats, but if i were you i'd take a human fighter, maybe vanilla

 

I'm a level 3 chaotic good human bard with stats:
str: 11
dex: 12
con: 12
int: 18
wis: 12
cha: 12

 

Well those were all useless, i come out as a gnome beserker or some such rubbish. I'd be a mage and proud of it.
Str 8,
Dex 13,
Con 8,
Int 18,
wis 16,
cha 14

 

I am a true neutral Dwarf sorcerer; for some reason the first-posted stats test doesn't work, so from Jaguar's second link my stats are:
Str: 10
Dex: 10
Con: 12
Int: 15
Wis: 13
Cha: 10

I'd make this character, but IIRC in BG2 Dwarves can't be sorcerers. Rats. Terrible powergaming stats, but doesn't matter much to a sorcerer

 

I took loerand's link which is more accurate imo and ended up with these stats:

str 9
dex 12
con 11
int 16
wis 12
cha 13

dammit, does having a hard time benching 90lbs make me the weakes person on this message board? i only weigh like 112lbs haha


edit: except for chiz, well met. hehe. there should have been a test to gauge intelligence. can anyone hook me up with a link to a short iq test?

 

That sure was a "good" idea to start with...
I always thought that RPG were about becoming someone else???

Anyway I'd like to remind you that INT 12-13 is very intelligent, 14-16 is highly intelligent and 17-18 is qualified in the PHB as "genius"...

I'm not grumpy: I just started a wild mage with INT 12 and he is doing just fine! -potions help a lot-
