Discover your own stats in D&D. Attempt Umpteen.

Here is the link to a very simple test I have found on the internet. While we could question the exhaustivenes of it, it's quite well laid out and definitelly well-though. Note that it's not made specifically to assess a modern human's stats, but it is as though meant to put the candidate in the frames of D&D numbers. Which means that stats above your average peasant (9 across the board) are almost certain, while it is nearly impossible to become uber like the grown epic characters are.

A little bit of warning, though: strength may be broken. I've tried it, and it seems that the weight you can lift has a very little effect - for example raising it by 100 pounds will only raise your STR stat by a single point.

I'm sharing my outcome first:

STR 12 (13)
DEX 12
CON 14
INT 16
WIS 16
CHA 17 (18)

Edit: Feats: Allertness, Combat Casting, Ambidexterity (well, I've never really tried dual-wielding, but I switch hands in fencing)

Can't say it's bad. Well, it's 88 total, which is above what you can get at start in most point-buy modes, even with a stat bonus race. I am a little bit surprised about the STR, I'd say it's something in the region of 14, and quite surprised at the CON score being so high while I have asthma (not like illnesses couldn't shoot down your performance by going around your stats instead of crippling them), and I remain skeptical towards the mental stats.

Strength: I'm quite big. 195 cm, which is 6'5''. I don't weigh much - just 75 kg (+/- 175 lbs). I could lift 140 lbs last time in the gym. That's it if the special gear is considered, because I can lift people who are heavier than that (and heavier than I am). Once, when I was 18, I got drunk and lifted all people at the New Year's Eve party when exchanging wishes and hugs .

As for punching, I punched 745 out of 1000 during last holidays. In highschool, I would go at the boxing bag bare-handed to show the showing off guys how it's really done.

When I was 19, I survived a prolonged broadsword (Viking style) fight with a grown man of arms twice thicker than mine. Tie, all hits parried or blocked (wet ground wasn't good for dodging).

Power attack seems surprisingly familiar...

Dexterity: Surely not as great as I would like it to be. I had very good aim when I didn't wear glasses. Would have a better one with contacts, but I prefer glasses. Some problems with skating and the like (locomotive illness makes me want to vomit), but I'm very good with slippery surfaces, nimble, can sneak, do finger tricks etc, and type 60 wpm in English / 300 chars per minute in Polish. Can dance, too. One of the best recovery times I've seen in my life (thanks for the training, Dad). Good dodging and using the walls/tables/chairs/windows for support and everything. You know, I've known strange people

Constitution: Greater than I used to like it to be I mean, in d&d games it's the lowest stat I take, and generally high CON doesn't fit my semi-elvish, geekish image. However, I can drink 3 bottles of wine, several Mad Dogs (vodka + raspberry juice + tobasco sauce), some beer and some champagne without appearing drunk. Also, I can hold 13 coffees. I have once stayed connected to #sorcerers for 35 hours. Can keep working hard and playing hard with 20 hours of sleep in a fortnight - not sleeping, (ab)using the internet and having parties - or sightseeing during the day and having fun overnight when farther away. Mostly indifferent to pain - I just don't care. I have given speeches and lectures with a bleeding throat and un-breaking voice, just for the sake of my vanity Same to cold, heat, hunger, illnesses etc. That's for mortals. Still, I was weak and often ill as a child, and I was fat until early highschool. My constitution vastly improved when they actually made me use it and when I lost weight and became skinny. Asthma has remained with me, though

Intelligence: As a kid, I always stood out, but later I discovered computers and partying and stuff. Dropped from wunderkind to something like top 5 student in my highschool - one of the best here, and one of the two in this country that have the special "classical profile" - Latin, Greek, Antique Civ, special history & literature curriculum and the like. They were teaching us 4 languages at one time at one point. Now I'm getting B's more often than A's, but at least it's the best Law Department in the country, so I don't complain.

Languages: Polish (native), English, French, Latin. Some ancient Greek. Used to learn German, started learning Italian. I bet programming languages don't count, do they?

Skills: I've learnt really obscure stuff and I'm not going to bore you to death bragging about it.

IQ: Usually mid 140's, sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more. But those tests are crap and I never devote full attention to them and only really do them when I'm bored, underslept and high.

Wisdom: Well, I've grown cynical over ages - live had thrown a bit at me at a young age. Distance and temperance. Distance to distance, temperance in temperance. According to Jung/Myers-Briggs, I'm the intuitive judging thinker type. I'm constantly counselling someone. Good at and against manipulation. Good with body language, homegrown psychology and the like.

Charisma: OK, whatever I say is going to sound awful. Boasting and all. People who know me typically rate me 17+ and from my experience I have to agree with them. Surely I'm not the handsomest man or the leading presidential candidate, though

Post yours, discuss your results or whatever, but remember this is for fun only Enjoy!

Hmmm, STR, INT, and CHA look far too high to me....

 

Str 15
Dex 16
Con 17
Int 13
Wis 14
Cha 12

Feats: Combat Casting, Dodge, Expertise, Improved Unarmed Strike

I think Con is a bit highm but other than that, I can agree with the stats given.

70 total...

I'd be more suited for a mage no? (With a max of 4th level spell)

 

You all have such good stats!

Str 12
Dex 9
Con 9
Int 13
Wis 11
Cha 7

I do agree with mine though.

 

Str - 08
Dex - 12
Con - 10
Int - 14
Wis - 11
Cha - 12

I suppose I agree with that.
68 total.

 

I had almost everything in 13 -even though I had to guess how much I could lift (in 'pounds' -damn brits and their odd measure-units). Isn't it odd that most of here haven't got anything near "9" or below, when those should be the most common ones?

 

If we took peeople from the street at random, it would probably be closer to 10 across the board. The average is 10 - average people don't have negative modifiers associated with stats.

An average SPer gravitates towards geekdom, speaks at least one foreign language well if is not a native speaker to English, can handle computers and the internet, has some imagination required for roleplaying, some creativity (esp. fanfiction writers, DMs, amateur artists, modders and so on) and so on. While geekdom hurts charisma, being the local computer expert or linguist or educated sage of the community surely helps. Plus, commnicating succesfully and achieving set goals despite the lack of face-to-face or vocal contact. Also, literacy in broad sense, facilitates communication without dabbling with diplomacy, bluff, intimidation or any interpersonal skills in the strict sense. That's why mental stats tend to be higher. We're simply not representative for the whole of society.

Now, physical stats. Generally, 10 is average for all. As a general rule that needs not be proved, males will be stronger and females will be more nimble. Constitution is debatable, but men are more likely to train it to higher levels. I believe that a proper course of PE at schools, over many years, is likely to result in better dexterity and maybe also constitution. Physical work and working out will raise strength. That is because strength is not a quotient, it is defined by tangible values and therefore a 13 STR kid is as strong as a 13 STR adult. At least in theory, because other factors such as weight or height still have effect. Mostly in lifting, but the size of a punch coming in your nose is most certainly relevant from the perspective of the projected impact on your face

 

18 wisdom??? ME?!!?!

... don't get it...

 

I have had the lowest score as of yet, I managed to get a 6 in dexterity. I am wondering whether it is too high.

 

17
16
10

Not bad

 

I'd say mine are pretty accurate:

Str: 15
Dex: 10
Con: 13
Int: 16
Wis: 10
Cha: 11

That's 75 total.

@ Sarevok - Not bad? More like pretty freakin' amazing. That's the highest total thus far!

 

It is?? I thought perhaps I went a bit mad but I was honest with my answers and I done it again and got the same. I would say Str 16 and Dex 14 maybe Wis 10, that would be more like it.

 

13
17

91 total...

 

Everyone has great strength... As the weight lifted doesn't affect much... I bet you're all bear-sized with arms the width of a young tree

BTW, it's meant to be the weight lifted above one's head - at least in theory. Picked up from the ground doesn't suffice. Just a down-to-earth notice not aimed to spoil the fun for anyone

 

I don't think any of us should flatter ourselves. It's easy to decide that you have a 15 Int, but it's a different matter when I tell you to read a chapter on Biochemistry and give you a quiz on it the next day.

In any case, I'm surprised on my stats: I figured lower physical scores:

Str 10 Dex 12 Con 12 Int 12 Wis 10 Cha 9

Total is 65 points. Using the D&D point buy system, this is 17 points (which is a bit better than what's probably average, since the average person present in the Monster Manual gets 62/14 points).

By the way, comeliness doesn't reprsent Charisma. *scowls at Mr. Khopesh*

 

STR 14
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 17
WIS 17
CHA 14

Balanced...

 

STR 14
DEX 12
CON 12
INT 13
WIS 11
CHA 12
Feats: Combat Casting, Endurance, Alertness.
But I do like the bit at the bottom of the page, about giving extra feats to fencers...we should get feats like weapon focus and the like, IMO.

On the whole though, I think this quiz is too...subjective to be really accurate (ex. what might be Very Good or Above Average to one person, might be Average or Excellent to another).
