    [​IMG] We've taken the alignment test...Now what do you think YOUR ability scores would be in game terms? I don't know if anyone's posted this before...But I thought it might be fun. Here's my best guess for me:

    Str: 18/25 (I was looking through an old player's handbook and it said a person with 18 strength can military press 180 pounds over their head...I can do about 260.)

    Int: 13 about average

    Dex: 12 Not a graceful swan, but not a bull in a china shop either!

    Con: 11 Strong, but in need of some stamina building - I can still run a mile, but it's not pretty. Sitting behind a computer all day will do that to you.

    Wis: 15 (I feel like a pretty enlightened guy)

    Chr: 16 (At least in my own mind) LOL!

    Well, there you have it. Anyone else care to join in?

    Here's mine: Hee
    Strength: 18/00 that's why I'm a bad ass, although not awesomely strong
    Dexterity: 14 although big sized, i'm still quite coordinated in my movements.
    Constitution: 16 I've shrugged off flus in a couple of hours and can take a lot of physical punishment.
    Wisdom: 4 hell lot of trouble I've gotten into because of my actions....
    Intelligence: 17 or 18 I'm pretty bright..but extremely lazy as reflected in my low Wisdom.
    Charisma: 9 I make Lemures and Manes look good when I stand next to them but I can still socialise with my wit and charm.
    That's why I really want a Ring of Human Influence...sigh..
    If I was in Faerun, I'll definitely be a fighter...a kensai if I could.

    str: 19, i'm buff, fat, but there is a lot of muscle under there ( i bench press 300)
    dex: 6, since i'm fat, i'm not at all flexible
    cha:10, i'm fat, but not so fat i break the scale, and i think my gote helps it a bit
    int:20, i went to a good college, graduated in the top 10 % with honors, and have a few degrees
    wis: 12,i'm somewhat enlightened, but not that much
    co: 12, about average, can run a mile, but also not pretty

    [​IMG] Well at first I thought this was going to be a 'almost' serious thread, but looking at the numbers you all are putting up I guess not. With those stats you should all be adventuring. ;) Here is my best guess.

    STR 14 - I can Military press 120 and bench 180
    DEX 11 - about average
    CON 13 - I can run a 7 mins mile but only 2 at once
    INT 15 - I have a masters degreee and a 145 IQ
    WIS 12 - I'm still young (under 30) so I have a lot of life to experience
    CHR 11 - I'm average, nothing special to look at.

    [​IMG] That was hard...I think I would probably be
    a lawfull neutral mage.

    Str: 7. I admit it! i am a wimp!
    C: 14. I am in good shape...I think.
    D: 7. I tend to drop things way too often...
    I: 16. I think I'm quite bright.
    W: 5. I have a tendency to say stupid things.
    CH: 5. People think I am a religious, roleplaying cultist(?) and vampire-freak besides being boring like hell, having a bad sense of humour and having that sick idea that homework should be made...

    Let me see...if i'm not wrong a bench press is when you lay on your back, grab these handles and life a weight behind you no? Anyway lets see what i would give my self...

    Str: 13 (I can do 60 chin ups but a max bench press of 65)
    Int: 17 (For my age that is...I tend to be with the brainy kids in my school)
    Dex: 15 (I used to train in Taikwondo)
    Cons: 11 (I can run distances but i can take a degree of punishment)
    Wis: 9 (I'm mostly a fool and i know it! Though why i'm leader in my group i hardly know)
    Cha: 14 (I'm pretty popular among my friends and even some of the girls!)

    Well thats it...not that impressive huh?
     
  8. 60!?!?!?!?! Shit, we got a SEAL in training here! :)

    STR - 12 (avg.), I'm not the weakest in my year, but then, I wouldnt win an armwrestling tournament.

    DEX - 10, I can be pretty clumsy, and I can't run for shit.

    CON - 16, I hardly ever get ill, I only missed school last year through scyving twice.

    INT - 17, I am pretty brainy, I'm in all the top groups at school. 137 IQ.

    WIS - 10, I can be a prick if you tempt me :).

    CHR - 12, I'm not a loner, I'm pretty popular in school. I'm not the most confident of guys though, and I can get pretty nervous.

    I notice you're all giving yourself fairly high intelligence scores which is fine but I just wanted to point out a nifty little tidbit I learned about D&D int scores. It's supposed to be likened to real life IQ scores, just multiply by 10. So if your IQ is 140 then your int score would be 14. So now you can see why an 18 intelligence is supposed to be so extremely rare.

    Sorry, not trying to rain on anyone's parade :D

    Looks like we have a collection of brainy tough guys here!
    As for me I'm average:

    STR: 15 - (bench: 200, mp: maybe 130, squat: 270)
    DEX: 12 - can be clumsy sometimes
    CON: 6 - can't stand injuries/ faint at the sight of blood, get colds quite often (2 beers get me drunk)
    INT: 14 - a bit above average, have a B. Sc. in engineering
    WIS: 13 - I've seen quite a bit and travelled a bit (would have had 15, but I got married ;))
    CHR: 13 - kinda ugly, but people seem to like me, am confident and successful
     
  13. Lo Guest

    Str 13 - I will hurt u if I have too :)
    Dex 14 - Will try to improve
    Con 15 - Get ill but recover quickly
    Int 13 - No idea what my IQ is, so I'd rather understimate it... My marks have been above average for most of my life, in both humanities and sciences, which is why I'm struggling through uni now, haven't found the right path yet :)
    Wis 13 - This should increase with age, but even now I find myself more tolerant and open to different people opinions than others...But than there are times when I forget myself so Wis of 1 might be as applicable
    Cha 10 - I can charm people if I want to, but usually I don't
    Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, although in BG2 I'm Chaotic Good and play as such, test confirmed :)

    [​IMG] str-16, i have been doing weightlifting and shit like that for the past two years, i can becnh press 250, i can use 10k dumb-bells 1237 times before i had to stop cuz my muscle ripped and i started screaming.

    con-15, i get sick easily but heal extremely quickly, i broke my arm once and didnt make a single sound, the doctors were amazed cuz i wasnt in shock or nuthin and the adreanlin had worn of!

    dex-10, not too good, not too bad, although i;'m told i'm very gentle with my hands...

    int-13, i have an iq of 136, anything over 140 is described as "genius, genetical scientist level"

    chr-17, i'm seeing one of the most beatiful girls in my school, i have a few very close friends and a lot of close friends

    wis-12, i can always see both sides of any argument and i still have a lot of growing up to do!!

    i think these are pretty good cuz i'm only 14!!
    i am extremly proud of my dumb-bell record and my bench press!

    (it doesnt matter how much you can lift on a bencpress, for you to be able to say you can do that weight you have to be able to do it ten times without stopping!)

    Str: 12 I'm not yet grown up, it will be 16 in 4 years
    dex: 15 good eye coordination, fast punching (makes me win fights, If you hit someone first on the nose he won't hit you back.)
    con:17 I have a great stamina!! playing soccer and tennis.
    wis:8 Ii is low that combined with CN alingment means expelled or Banned or 'where done'.
    int:16 makes it up for my low wis, I had to do a IQ-test when I was 12 (the where looking if a 'special' school would be good for me)I't turnes out to me real high I was taking a test for 15 years old so they expected me to score below the average and it went out to be a 128 it would be higher if the test was right suided.
    cha:15 This maybe sounds weird but my high int makes me charming,knowing wath the others want to hear, or knowing how to react.

    I'm really suided as a Jester, i'm actually thinking to write a script as a stand-up comedian.
    I know that I'm never funny on this board,thats becouse my native language is dutch not english,my english is real good for someone in my position , I learned english from TV, games and from this board.

    On the alignment test, I scored Neutral Evil, not as my character, but as myself. I might not have been entirely truthful i guess but anyhow:

    STR:14(not Wulfgar but i'm of stronger than many)

    DEX:17(i never miss my mark)

    CON:15(sickness touches me not)

    INT:14(i'm pretty good in mathematics and such)

    WIS:12(i'm young)

    CHR:14(people tend to like me in person (not to seem conceited or anything))
    As for class I'd probably be a thief. Stealth is my kind of thing.
     
  18. Erm, Herf, I'm sure you posted when you first came to the site, that you weren't very popular at school, (due to your big ears or something)?????
    And a 14 year old benchpressing 250 lbs - wow!

    Don't mean to rain on your parade man :)
