    Woah. Well, I guess I am a big guy. And I do work out at the gym 5 days a week.

    I like my 19 constitution. That is what you get for never breaking a bone or twisting an ankle. I get sick maybe once every couple of years, but nothing major. And I can hold my drinks. :p

    I am invincible I say!! :D

    Feats: Alertness, Combat Casting, Run, and the martial art i do does not fit into any of the provided check boxes.

    Been an athlete all my life and am a ######## martial artist. I'm suprised, but i would have to say i agree with those stats. My youth helps on the physical side i think. Yep.
    I do agree with Faerus about it being subjective though.

    Edit:
    The asterixed out word was not really a rude one, all i said was h.core.

    That fits me quite well. Not overly strong but not weak, quite nimble, never get really sick and have never broken a bone despite my laddish childhood. A bit disappointed with my Int but I already knew I was not super smart. Wis seems about right...
    I dont know about cha since I'm (not being big headed) quite good looking but have a hard time drawing people to myself.

    I went back to check on the last "post your stats" thread just to compare. Apparently I underrated myself the first time (or overrated this second time).

    Hmmmm...

    Still wondering what affects wisdom: I have the highest score so far though I am sure there are people far wiser than me around here.
    Also, I'm the least coherent and logical person in the world so :confused: ?..

    Moahahahaa, I'm the only one at 18 str. This means that I either overdid the test (but I am quite muscular... :rolleyes: ) or that I am the strongest member who has done the test so far. :evil:

    Str 10: Should be a 9, methinks.
    Dex 09: I'm abit clumsy. My aim is quite good though. 9 is quite okay. Perhaps an 8 fits me better.
    Con 13: I'm easily hurt, but almost never ill.
    Int 14: Could be 13. I can learn, but sometimes have troubles with following orders.
    Wis 15: Quite okay. I usually know what's going on in people and sense teir intentions.
    Cha 14: I'm wellspoken(in Dutch at least), kind and care for my looks.

    I'd rather see points below 13, though. I'm more an avarage person.

    @Vyndin Source: It's all in the Player's Handbook, for the Strength stat. You probably know how much you can lift, so you can check what STR stat value belongs there.

    @Lady Luthien:

    Edit: I think it's recollection, willpower, accute senses, streetsmarts, probably deductive reasoning, perhaps logic/theory and academic retention.

    All people who have taken 6 or 1 should redo the test. It specifically says that 6 (the highest value) is for world class champions. By analogy, 1 would be for world's greatest failures ;) Therefore, we're somewhere in between 2 and 5, probably 3 or 4. It's bad they don't have any safe average option.

    I totally agree with the calculation. In fact, these are the EXACT same stats I would have given myself.

    DEXTERITY-18
    CONSTITUTION-13
    INTELLIGENCE-16
    WISDOM-15
    CHARISMA-9

    i agree with the strength and consitution, because i sadly break easily and can not break much (to put it simply) dexterity i sort of agree maybe not 18 more like 16, but then again i have freaked out a lot of my friends with my ultra fast reflexes and my swift, nimbleness, they say that i have like a built in reflex, that if they flash just one hand in my face i cant but help grab it, or block it ( a weird defense mechanism) and it is really hard to control it as well!!!
    im relatively smart (unfortunately i get called a nerd as some time) and i totally agree on charisma all the way, sadly not many people take a liking to my personality, and i havnt had a g/f in many many years... :( wisdom i would not say im not that wise, i tend to make some very silly irrational decisions that i always end up regreting, but i gues i have some wisdom, (maybe in bout 14, not 15.)

    its a good quiz though, and i believe i have answered all the questions as truthfully as humanly possible. :)

    [​IMG] Gee, hasnt anyone thought that all the stats up to now are way exaggerated?

    18 is max that is humanly possible. Einstein had 18 int. There are people here who got 17int on the test. Does that mean they'd understand even the most complicated mathematical equasions/whatever?
    I truly doubt it.
    Same goes for physical stats. Lots of us are hanging around computer a lot. That surely had absolutely no positive affect on our physical stats. And yet we see high strenght&dex&con. The test is for a common guy. If we went and calculated an average physical score just in our topic here, i bet it'd be at least 13-14. The average human is 10. And we're nerds. Doesnt that seem a strange? :rolleyes:

    I got str:12 dex:16 con:10 int:13 wis:12 cha:9
    The only stat that i know that is near the truth is charisma. I'd debate this further, but i doubt anyone is interested in myself discussing my results. Instead think on what i wrote above, about all the stats being too high.

    Hmm, sounds about right, aside from the str. With the human best at 18, I think this is a bit too high. I do spend a lot of time in the gym though, so 16 might make more sense.

    Gothmog, good points. I am prone to agree.

    First, nerds with high STR & CON. OK, workout is an option, but still. However, STR can be measured objectively by the maximum load you can carry... unless it goes to Strongback feat or something similar.

    Second, average age being some 15-16, there's quite an astonishing number of quite astonishing WIS scores.

    Well, but we don't have many stats here that would be blatantly overestimated. Improbable but possible, that's what they are.

    Another thing is that in a developed society CON is going to be +2 for healthy diet, vaccinations, easy access to sports facilities, more potential to overcome innate conditions and the like. People in cities are also more dexterous per average than they would be in a quasi-mediaeval world - compulsory PE at schools, easy access to facilities and the like. INT is more difficult than that. IQ is relative to the group, which means it can't be addressed as an absolute measure. The average (IQ 100) might have improved... or deteriorated. However, in so far as schooling can increase one's actual intelligence and schooling is compulsory for all, the average INT might be slightly better. There's also a greater opportunity to spot and take proper care of potentially very intelligent kids. WIS and CHA can't be summed up easily the same way. They're too abstract, I think. Little can be done to train them, even if more than in Middle Ages.
