    ...you go back to an old strategy game and try to use space to pause. (Nearly got assimilated thanks to that. :grr: :borg: :smash: )

    I always press pause in other games! *points at Diablo 2*

    When in games where you can name your NPCs when they meet you, you name them after NPCs in BG. (done)

    I'm looking forward to naming my daughter Jaheira but I don't know what the priest is going to say. :shake:

    I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but:
    ...you pine after a romance character.

    You fit characters from a tv show or film into the roles of NPCs in your favorite game.

    When you wonder if your Cha score is high enough for your :bs: to work. And then blame crooked dice if it doesn't

    You lay awake at 3:30am thinking about what your stats would be in real life. Like I did this morning...

    Strength: 15
    Dexterity: 17
    Constitution: 14
    Intelligence: 16
    Wisdom: 15
    Charisma: 18

    dream on~ dream on~ :rolling:

    I wouldn't figure my stats out...but I certainly would think of my friends...such as...

    Str 16, Dex 10, Con 13, Int 8, Wis 7, Cha 14...pretty decent :hmm:

    @ Sir Farivold
    Maybe after wearing your hacked stat enhancing items, and then using all the tomes in BG1 on yourself :)

    Yes, yes, Nalia too. ;) The priest should be more receptive to Nalia than to Jaheira. :shake:

    I probably have 12-13 STR, maybe 10 DEX per average, around 12 CON... INT, WIS and CHA I don't know. You judge if you want. :p

    Hehe, I thought Ring of Human Influence went without saying :p

    Realistically I have no idea what my stats would be, I really didn't put too much thought into it...

    Why would the priest do if you named your daughter Jaheira? It's a rather exotic and beautiful name. Unless Jeheira has a special unknown devil-related polish meaning (which I doubt ;) ) You ought to be fine.

    Mmmm I'd rather name a daughter Imoen anyway. :love:

    According to my D20 modern book I can lift a max of 150 lbs, which would result in a 13 str.

    lol weakling :) Just kidding.

    Well, is that squatting or benching? If that is squatting then i'm sorry my friend, but that is sad. Unless you are a halfling, that would be incredibly impressive.

    What does a bench of 200 (weak, i know :( ) rank my str as? or a squat of 410? Can you even put a number on STR? I mean, an ant can lift freaking a million times its weight, but that translates for us as merely ounces.

    My 3rd edition stats, as I believe

    STR: 14
    DEX: 16 (I am an excellent shot, and agile, but I can't run fast to save my life...)
    CON: 9 (I don't know how I survive during football season, I can't run for any period to save my life, but I can in short bursts :) But I can take a hit, hrm... this is a hard stat to come up with... Luckily I have a feat that uses my will modifier when I get tired instead of my fortitude)
    INT: 18 (tee hee, my IQ puts me in the 97.8 percentile, but I fail hardcore at math *shakes fist angrily at math class* ok, lets be more realistic and set that to a 16 :) )
    WIS: 10 (enlightened? no. Religious? Hell no. Atheist to the max! Do I make wise decisions? no. Average score here)
    CHA: 12 (small bonus here, but for some reason people just don't like me... Maybe its cuz i'm weird.)

    Chev, name your daughter Jaheira. I dare you.

    I think Viconia would be better *Notes down for future need*

    How would you explain that to your wife? Parents? In Laws?

    We're Sorry. DAIE is not in our database. BabyNames.com does review the list of searched names and if we find a meaning, will add it to our database.


    Damn.

    Last time I searched ''Ofelix'' in the internet the result was a snail with the Portugal flag on it. It deserved a major WTF
