+2 to CON in developed countries?

I dont agree with that. True, general health is vastly better. But these we owe to medicine not our own innate resiliance to hardship. If we get sick, we get medicine to cure us. Our own immunity sistem is getting weaker and weaker and our dependence on chemicals greater. Healthy diet. I belive common folk didnt eat McDonald's fast food back then
As for sports facilities... we still get way less physical exercise than general folk in Faerun. AFAIK at least.

DEX
i dont think there's much difference here. If anything i think people now are slightly less agile. Kids then didnt sit in front of computers&konsoles. They didnt eat greasy food and grow fat as much as now. Rather they ran around on the streets all day, looking for trouble. At least this is how i imagine typical D&D world.

INT
I really question what INT really is. It estimates how much out of ordinary your way of thinking is. If you see links where other people dont. Sometimes abstract/weird minds get awsome scores for simply thinking otherwise than the rest of people. After all those who made the tests are still humans. No doubt a D&D commoner brought here and given an IQ test would do miserably. It might not have to do as much with his INT score as with his ignorance of this world. I really dont know. It might be better, though with all the schooling. Perhaps school is good for something


WIS
I dont think this ever changes. People are always the same anyway.

CHA
No idea

 

Hmm... here's another stats test I found....it's not as good as Chev's, but it's not so bad either.

 

Str 8
Dex 9
Con 12
Int 13
Wis 15
Cha 10

Feats: Alertness

Well, yeah... that's me, though I would put a 9 or 10 in Strength and an 8 or 7 in Dex.

 

Reviving this thread in hope someone might know the link to a test we haven't done yet... Anyone?

 

Remember this is just for fun!
Posting your results, especially when they (for some reason ) turn out to be really good, reeks of bragging.

 

Strength: 14 (Cant lift weigths over my head, but can carry em around the football feild)
Dexterity: 10 (About right)
Constitution: 16 (Im still to be outdrunk, can stay sober with half a bottle of vodka and unknown pegs of whisky in me)
Intelligence: 15 (Anyone who knows me would agree, could actually be 16)
Wisdom: 12 (Oh yeah, telling people they were being stupid sure was not the wisest thing to do)
Charisma: 13 (I can get away with a lot of things, other guys get slapped for

More test? Chev you need to sleep.

 

Str 11
dex 15
con 12
int 12
wis 10
cha 12

Looks relatively accurate. I am very dextrous, being of a tall and thin build. My hand-eye coordination is very good, wich is logical since I study art and my hands are my most important instruments. My constitution isnt that high I think. Charisma is without showing off about correct I think. Most people instantly like me, 25% instantly hates me. Wisdom is average, wich would be about right I believe.

 

STR-14
DEX-17
CON-15
INT-11
WIS-13
CHA-13
Total-83

Feats: Alertness, Ambidexterity, Endurance, Run

 

Okay, here are mine:

Strength 12 +1

Dexterity 15 +2

Constitution 12 +1

Intelligence 19 +4

Wisdom 18 +4

Charisma 13 +1

Feats - Alertness, Ambidexterity


Okay.

Strength: Disregard this for me. I don't know if this is correct. I am not very strong, so I guess this is quite close. (I left it to be 100 pounds, because I only know kilogram.)

Dexterity: I'm quite good with my hands

Constitution: I don't know what to say to this. i guess it is okay.

Intelligence: As IQ I entered the result of the IQ from the hospital (I am hyperactive. And something else. Nothing serious.) I've been told that I am intelligent (I don't like to boast), but I would say that the +4 is too much. The thing about IQ tests, including the approved ones, is that they are all different. They all have a different marking sheme, and a different IQ for Einstein. In one IQ test Einstein might have 190, in another just 145.

Wisdom: Same as above. The +4 is probably too much. But I DO remember more than other people do. I have the memory of an elephant. Mostly for small details.

Charisma: I'm shy...

Feats: Alertness - Comes along with the Hyperactivity, and the other disorder. That makes it difficult in school sometimes - It is often described as hearing everything like someone with two hearing devices (everything has the same volume. Normally the brain tones down the things that you regard as unimportant, in order to focus).

Ambidexterity - Not totally. I can do a lot of things with both hands. Some better, some worse. Some things I can only do really good with my right hand, others only with my left hand. I am working on improving both.


P.S.: Please remember that I am not a native english speaker, and might have misunderstood some of the questions in that test.

 

Jazhara - IQ test result is calculated very simply:
(mental age according to test)/(actual physical age)*100%
The problem lies in what the mental age is, and that is what has to be defined prior to the test. If all tests were made in accordance to a single calculation, Einstein would have scored identically in both tests (assuming questions from either were interspersed).
The more common method today is to count in which percentile figure of the society your intelligence test puts you in.

I've come across many "stats" or "ability scores" tests which put up an IQ test to calculate INT. Not wanting to boast, but typically I've got 17/18, or 19/20 (in 3E) tests.

a 2E test which I would agree with said:
STR:7 (I suck at weight lifting)
INT:17 (it was a test that put up academic degrees as a 'measure')
WIS:14
DEX:11
CON:12
CHR:17

Another test, which went with IQ test:
STR:9
INT:18
WIS:13
DEX:12
CON:12
CHR:13

And a 3E test:
Strength:12
Dexterity:15
Constitution:13
Intelligence:20
Wisdom:15
Charisma:16
(Alertness, Combat Casting)

Strangely, in 3E I would be assumed to be a powergamer.

If I had to decide for myself, I would say:
STR: 8
DEX: 9
CON: 12
INT: 18 (IQ 168, >98%)
WIS: 12 (maybe I'm smart, but I tend to be foolish)
CHA: 17

 

Wow, as usual the members of SP have ability scores which would make any 10+ level D&D green with envy.

OK that people who find interest in RPG's may have slightly above intelligence than average but seeing the numbers here is ridicoulous.

Those tests are designed to stroke the ego of people, nothing more.

 

I agree with you here, joacquin.

I'd just like to add one thing: how is it that incremental stat increase is not associated with relative stat values? E.g. if you're able to lift 30 lbs., you get STR:7, and if you're able to lift 60 lbs., you get STR:8, and so on. It's one point difference and there's no difference in penalty to damage, and either of these would be qualified as 'weak,' even though the stronger of them is Herculean compared to the other.

 

Imagine what the difference must be between 12 and 18!

It's weird to see that there are more people with stats above average (10) then below.

Maybe my intelligence modifier is too low to have the following statement correct:
We geeks tend to be smarter then the average. We have some knowledge of computers, we are multi-linguistic (sp?), blabla.

But geeks tend to spend too much time in front of their computer-monitor. Why doesn't this result in some below-average constitution modifiers? We really need that 14 Str to lift our mouse from one side of the mat to the other! And my 14 Cha really helped me convincing you that I really have a +2 modifier on on wisdom checks! "Bluff, bluff, bluff the stupid SPers"

I think that I could take away 3 points from all my stats.

 

Str 14
Dex 15
Con 15
Int 15
Wis 17
Cha 10

Seem about correct except for Intel and cha

 

Took it again, with comments this time:

STR: 10
DEX: 11
CON: 10
INT: 15
WIS: 9
CHA: 6

STR: Seems about right. Can lift, but not exceptionally much. And I doubt my punches do much damage.

DEX: I can kick higher than most in my class, coordination and balance is decent. Would be higher if I could get rid of my overweight.

CON: I could take a few hits, and have a decent pain resistance. I get sick kinda easily though.

INT: Always been a brainy one. Doesn't seem exaggeratedly high.

WIS: I guess I have decent willpower, but other wisdom-y things is not so good.

CHA: Ugly as sin (IMHO ) and no self-confidence whatsoever. It's too high.

 

Hmm, first tinme doing this for me...

Str: 12
Dex: 9
Con: 13
Int: 15
Wis: 16
Cha: 14

I wrote some comments, and scrapped them. Sounded too much like total self-flattery... as it is, I can't really say anything about them one way or another.

 

That's not necessarily right. The fact that the average stats is 10 doesn't mean that everyone has INT 10. The average stat for a species is the mean of all stats in the species, so theoretically 10 INT is the sum of all humans' INT scores divided by the number of all humans. There clearly are significant differences between individual humans up to the point of some being handicapped and some other being gifted. The IQ/10 = INT fomula is unreliable, but comparing the probability of a certain roll in D&D character creation with the probability of a human having such an IQ in realife is not unreasonable. Of course, the demographics of D&D societies will differ from pure dice chance, but how accurate can we get on this one? No matter how you look at it, a person with IQ in the range of 170 is bound to have a high INT stat, whether by the IQ/10 formula (17), or by intelligence percentile compared to dice chance (17/18).

I agree that the stats tend to seem awfully high, though. This is mostly due to the fact that the one on khopesh.com relies almost totally on your own perception. It seems SPers have a high opinion of themselves. I'm pretty sure some people took 6'es (world champion, ekhm... yeah).

I suppose much of our problem is due to the overblown stats of BG2 NPCs.

 

Hehe I got

Strength 9
Dex 15
Con 17 (dont get sick)
Int 12
Wis 13
Cha 12

reasonably good rogue stats though.
I do however belive the strenght to be a little low.
Probably because of the weight lifting thing.
Not sure how many pouns i lift. We use the metric system here in norway , so I suspect it should be around 10 or 12.

 

I had my g/f do this for me so that I wouldn't cheat and she came up with:

Str-17
Dex-18
Con-15
Int-18
Wis-17
Cha-16
Total=101

I'm a god.

 

*giggle*

How about having someone who thoroughly dislikes you to do it for you instead?

If you still gwet those stats, I'll start the Cult of Arahar
