Poll: Your DnD Stats, and I Mean YOUR Stats

[Scarim Coral]

I think I am being too modest with my stats-

STR- 11
DEX- 13
CON- 14
INT- 12
WIS- 13
CHA- 7

As for the classes, I see myself as a rouge. I liked to be left alone and not drawn attention to myself.

 

[Zaltys]

STR: 9 (Used to be less. Been lifting, but still on the scrawny side: cyclist legs, but noodle arms.)
DEX: 7 (Clumsy.)
CON: 16 (Haven't been sick in over a decade. Don't know what headache feels like, because I've never had one. And I can exercise several hours straight without tiring.)
INT: 14 (Mensa membership... as if that counts for anything.)
WIS: 14 (Always hard to gauge. But I'm good at avoiding danger, and have been told by multiple people that I give good advice. I suppose that counts for something.)
CHA: 8 (I get along with people well enough, but never cared much about social norms. And haven't bothered to learn the so-called 'good manners'.)

For the class, I think I'd go with druid. That'd suit me fine. I don't mind spending time in the wild.

 

[Mister K]

OK, I'll try to be as objective as possible.

STR - 10. I am neither stronger nor weaker than the average Joe.
DEX - 8 or 9. I am kind of clumsy, but not to the point of being a walking disaster.
CON - 10. I can kind of endure pain and I don't get sick often, but I have allergies, so it all evens out.
INT - 10 or 11. Even if I am smarter than an average person, then not really a lot more.
WIS - 12. More often then not, I can read moods of people, I know what to say and I am usually right when I make life decisions or give life advices, though I am too young to claim that I have a lot of life experience.
CHA - 14. What I am actually good at is talking to people, being friendly with them, etc.

As for class, well, I think I am a bard. I don't really excel at anything, but I am a peoples person. Now if only I could finally learn how to play bass...

I would rather call them honest.

Spoiler: Also, rouge

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

[the December King]

Oh boy!

We did this in a few games when we were in college, played them and integrated them into our existing campaign. My character of me was killed almost immediately. I rather prefer it that way, as I was the DM for a long time and found the inclusion of these characters frankly jarring.

I'd choose d20 modern to really get the flavour, but I'll conform mostly to D&D 3.5/Pathfinder instead (my favourite games):
_______________________________________________

STR: 9 (fat, older, used to work out but currently not exercising)
DEX: 11 (still a bit of grace, but slowly losing it)
CON: 8 (apnea, overweight, but beyond that no specific problems)
INT: 12 (think I'm much smarter than I am)
WIS: 13 (I think I've taken lots of lessons to heart, and am fairly patient, try to be open, listen, and can focus)
CHA: 15 (it's humour and diplomacy more than sex appeal or beauty)

HP: 7
AC: 10

FORT: 0
REF: 1
WILL: 2

attack- base: +1
attack- katana: +2 (1d10 damage, 18-20/x2 critical)
attack- short sword: +1 (1d6 damage, 19-20/x2 critical)

I'm going to go with a level three human commoner (as per D&D 3.5), starting with simple weapon (short sword), then with exotic weapon proficiency (katana), and weapon focus (katana) as my first and third level feats- I took Iaido for several years, and reckon it makes sense in a game to make that an asset.

I have the most ranks in painting( or visual art), some in driving, diplomacy, just one in cooking, some in computer use(d20), and a few in knowledge: geek culture (but not many). I'd work them out specifically, if I needed to.

Equipment would include a couple of knives, a short sword/blade of some sort (but not a katana, at least to start with), come coins, a wallet, commoner clothes (jeans, shirt, trenchcoat, hat), an art pad, a Lovecraft book, a ring (worth 4 gp), and a necklace/holy symbol (worth 25 gp).

I'd be looking to advance in a fantasy world as either a mage, psionicist, or cleric, depending on who or what I meet or survive encountering.

EDIT: I'd include English as my primary language, followed by French, and both to read and write. I might be missing a bonus feat for being human, but even if that is true, for the life of me I can't conjure what that feat would be.

 

[G00N3R7883]

Str - 9
Dex - 10
Con - 17 (I have maybe 1 or 2 days off sick from work in a year)
Int - 16 (
Wis - 14
Cha - 10 (not very social but I also try to treat people with respect)

I usually play a cleric/healer in RPGs but I'm not religious or a doctor in real life so I guess I'd have to go wizard.

My personal stats as given by me (and later as given by my brother):
STR: 14
DEX: 12
CON: 16
INT: 18
WIS: 8

Keep in mind, I am slightly biased in that I like myself.

This is Barb's bro:
STR: 12
DEX: 8
CON: 16
INT: 16
WIS: 6
CHA: 8


Okay, so my brother loves me a little less than I do (but that is to be expected).

Spoiler: I just want to say that someone with 14 STR and 16 CON would have a body that more or less looks like this.

And 16 INT is SUPER smart, like an engineer that is damned good at his job and 18 means Genius, like slightly less smart than Stephen Hawking, do keep in mind that a D&D character is meant to be a Hero of legend and therefore they are ridiculously strong, I mean 16 STR means you can lift giant boulders and break chains, in any case D&D characters are supposed to be exceptional beyond the capacity of a normal human being.
They are meant to do ridiculous feats like those of Ulises[footnote]BTW a character that would have 18 or 20 INT[/footnote] and Achilles from the Odyssey or even Beowulf from the legend of Beowulf[footnote]OK, OK he would have like 25 STR and CON but still, maybe even more because he did swim from one side of the Ocean to another.[/footnote] or Hercules.

I have been doing martial arts for going on 12 years this year, as well as having an IQ north of 150 when I was last tested (though to be fair, that has been years ago now). I have a BS in Computer Science with an emphasis in network security and work for a charity refurbishing and reselling computers to help fund education for those less fortunate (though I own a business on the side to help fluff up the funds a bit).

I have no idea what the picture you linked was supposed to look like, but the webpage that was hosting it didn't pay its bill. That said I'm not a bad looking guy (in my mind), though I am currently a bit overweight due to a surgery last year (and I didn't stop eating as though I was working out 2 hours a day). My CON was based off of my resistance to foreign substances in my system (such as alcohol, drugs like what the doctor would give you, and poisonous materials). I won't pretend to be superman or anything, but I am pretty tough (though not as tough as my friend James).

From my understanding a 1 is barely able to function, and an 18 is the absolute peak of human ability (I.E. physically it would be an Olympian athlete and mentally it would be a world renown genius). Though I could be wrong, its been a while since I played, and we pretty much stuck to 2nd edition.

Anyway, I hope that clears some of that up for you.

 

[Zen Bard]

Oooo...all you interesting people!

Here's mine.

STR = 13 (5' 10", regular exercise, martial arts for 15 years)
DEX = 11 (Quick but kind of a klutz)
CON = 14 (Rarely get sick, high stamina, used to train with MMA fighters)
INT = 16 (BS in Engineering, have a patent, work in tech)
Wis = 16 (Buddhist*, philosophy minor, friends come to me for advice)
CHA = 14 (Better looking than average but no <insert Hottie of the Month's name here>, good at making people laugh, not shy, semi-pro musician)

I'd probably be a Bard (like...duh). Good with a lute, knows things (some of it useful), fast on my feet and handy in a fight.

*Note: I'm not just suggesting that all Buddhists are inherently wise (to Zhukov's point, how does one quantify wisdom?!?!), but we DO sit around and contemplate a lot of morality shit.

 

[demoman_chaos]

It's almost impossible to accurately quantify physiological stats, but here goes -

STR- 12 - Vascular and striated arms/legs, but still retaining some midsection flab. Going to the gym, and biking more than once a week would help.

DEX- 12 - Pretty nimble for my age, but no Reptile that's for sure.

CON- 14 - Green tea and honey has done me well to avoid debilitating illness for over the past decade, but age has noticeably impeded physical recovery from strenuous physical activity. I suppose averaging more than 5-6 hours of sleep would help too.

INT- 13 - Below genius level, but technically gifted according to IQ tests if those can be considered accurate.

WIS- 15 - This transcends intelligence, but isn't necessarily linked to it. Have been considerably introspective and aware of various things even at a young age. Not quite zen-level though.

CHA- 12 - Can be social and humorous under most circumstances, but hampered by cynicism from absorbing decades of human stupidity; including my own.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

I do find these things funny, not purposefully, but I think most people either understate their attributes or overstate them..done this with friends before and it was definitely a head scratcher at some peoples stats (I'm included in this, not trying to sound pompous).

OT:

STR- 12 (played competitive sports all my life and I workout 3 times a week plus sports on top of that, some flab on my belly but otherwise muscular.)

DEX-15 I've kept up with/owned tons of D1 soccer athletes that I have played against and still play against to this day, so I'd like to think I'm pretty damn nimble and have excellent reflexes.

CON-11 I am one of the least sick people I know, and I recover from being sick usually super fast (if I'm sick in the morning, I'm usually fine in the afternoon) HOWEVER, I do have allergies to cats and dogs and codeine and seasonal allergies, so there's that to knock me down a few pegs.

INT-13 Went to college, graduated in engineering at a highly renowned campus, blah blah blah, but I certainly wasn't top of my class and I can't stand some subjects...so SUPER smart at some things, stone age caveman at others.

WIS-14 Almost always without fail, I'm asked for advice on stuff all the time, whether that be at work, in the classroom, or among friends. I'd like to think it's common sense most of the time, but for whatever reason people really think I'm intuitive at things.

CHA-10 (used to be a 14-15 growing up,depending on how much of a narcissist I was being that day) I used to really be able to get away with anything I wanted, especially when it came to dating, due to my silver tongue...for whatever reason, a light switch flipped, I grew emotions and stopped being an asshole, along with it the silver tongue disappeared.

-Snip-

Gasp!
The picture was Daniel Craig coming out of the ocean in Casino Royale, that-s what that would look like, as for INT, again a 20 is supposed to be Stephen Hawking smart so if your IQ is around 150 it would be somewhere around 14 to 15[footnote]16 if you are really good at your job.[/footnote] which is still pretty high and good, so anyway 16 CON basically means that you can withstand some pretty strong poisons and diseases, in any case I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, just trying to remind people that if they were playable characters in D&D they'd be pretty close to useless, because we are not heroes of legend.

I must clarify that this is considering the rules regarding Pathfinder, D&D 5th Edition and a little bit of 3.5, since I mostly play by avoiding fights I pay too much attention to what stats mean from a role-play perspective, though knowing you played 2nd does help understand why you would give yourself such ridiculously high stats.

WIS - ?? (How the fuck does one quantify "wisdom"?)

*Note: I'm not just suggesting that all Buddhists are inherently wise (to Zhukov's point, how does one quantify wisdom?!?!), but we DO sit around and contemplate a lot of morality shit.

Keep in mind that Wisdom in D&D and Pathfinder does not mean the same as it does in real life, while it does take spiritualism, common sense and being knowledgeable[footnote]To a much-decreased degree since most knowledge is associated with Intelligence in these games.[/footnote] into account it is also the ability to perceive, sense and Will-power, as in the capacity to stay firm on their goals and how driven they are but also how brave they are and how much they are willing to risk and withstand in order to achieve their goals, so basically it's a complete mess since most things it covers are not really related to one another, but thinking of it more as your ability to perceive and your bravery might help define a more accurate stat.

I am nowhere near as cut as Daniel, but I am actually more built (as in more heavily muscled, only my body fat % is probably double his as well).

Stephen Hawking only scored 160 on his IQ test, so dividing me by 4 points is a bit large by my estimation. That said, he has certainly done a crap ton more with his life than I probably ever will. That is more to do with a combination of things such as having combined type ADHD and a much lower work drive than he has (I prefer my life outside of work to my life at work, so I am at a major deficit there).

Going by your scoring type though I do have a modified score list, as pathfinder defines the stats. This will be with an 18 at peak human performance without magical aid or natural advantage, 10 being bog average scores, and a 3 being disabled (as in my Dex may be at a 3 due to being in this wheelchair, but my Wis is at a 15 for the extra time I have to ponder the universe and what it means). So, without further adieu:

STR: 14 (I am sticking to 14, but after reading the numbers in the carry weight and lifting scores, I should put a 17 as I can dead lift 275lbs without hurting myself easy)

DEX: 13 (this one is harder to judge and I only have to go on what the pathfinder book says about catching surprise projectiles and hitting far objects with ranged weapons/thrown weapons. I went with a 13 as I'm not positive I could catch a medium speed "surprise" projectile, it really depends on distance. At 25'+ I would most likely be able to, but at closer ranges, probably not. As for hitting distant targets, with martial arts I have practiced with a Long-siyah horn bow and hit the center 3 rings pretty consistently at 50m, and I graduated as TopGun at Taylor County Correctional School 2004. TopGun means I had more hits than the rest of the class at max range, and when I went to work as a CO, I was placed in the tower as a sniper, but please keep in mind that this isn't like a military sniper, the farthest shot they would expect me to take was about 350m or so with a red dot sight. So I went between a 12 and 14 to try and be as fair as possible with myself).

CON: 12 (I am dropping this score significantly because I placed way too much emphasis on how much punishment my body could sustain and my near immunity to foreign substances. That said, I have literally had half of my scheduled surgeries be rescheduled due to the doctors not being able to put me under that day with the maximum legal limit of whatever drugs they were using at the time. Out of 6 surgeries, 3 of them have been rescheduled. I really underestimated how much stamina someone at a 16 CON should have, and I am just not at that level of stamina as far as running or doing extreme labor for multiple days in a row other than my workouts and Jujitsu)

INT: 17 (I am going raise my intelligence for two reasons: 1, Dr Hawking has a 160 IQ and he is supposed to be at a 20? 2, at 16-17 it says "Noticeably above the norm, fairly intelligent, able to understand new tasks quickly" and the IQ charts put me in the extremely gifted category, but under the profoundly gifted category. Still though I don't feel that smart, and I feel more comfortable saying a 16. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I haven't done much with my life to be recognized for, but I am a MENSA member, and did graduate with my BS in IT at 19.)

WIS: 8 (I am sticking with an 8 here, as the ability score at 8 says "Forgets or fails to consider options before taking action" which is right on the money and at 7 it talks about having no common sense, of which I have plenty. I am happy to bow to someone with more experience than me on this subject though as they seem to have no real clue as to what constitutes Wisdom whereas the other abilities all seem to focus on a single attribute.)

CHA: 10 according to me and 14 according to my brother Tyler (I personally feel as though I am either making a fool of myself or I am pissing people off by being a know it all, though my brother says that the text in 14 fits me best as I do always seem to know exactly what to say to either calm someone down or get out of a bad situation. Personally I attribute that to intelligence and experience, meanwhile my ADHD annoys people, but according to the Pathfinder book it could be either.)

So, hopefully that clears it up a bit, though I am really surprised by the turnaround on Charisma, I really expected the both of us to stick to our splits, and here we completely reversed.

 

[MeatMachine]

Oh man, self-evaluation always makes you sound like either a narcissist or a loser... oh well, here goes...

STR: 10 (I'm not an imposing man at all, but I'm not weak for my size)
DEX: 12 (I was always much better at agility and cardio than using clout)
CON: 6 (I don't like 'feeling the burn' of hard effort, much less being mauled + type 1 diabetic dependent on insulin, so you could basically kill me with bread. I'm healthy, but exertingly-undisciplined and extremely vulnerable to every type of ailment)
INT: 14 (Self-isolating introvert who thrives on books and puzzles, always excelled academically)
WIS: 13 (25 years is not much life experience, but I retain what I learn very well; sharp perception for detail)
CHA: 8 (I can be a really charming guy, but only with people who already trust me)

Class: Mage, albeit more of a healer/supporter than nuker/disabler.

 

[Raddra]

You didn't list all the classes.

 

[RedDeadFred]

STR: 10 (About as average as you can get.)
DEX: 13 (I'm quite fast, have good fine motor skills, and am also fairly flexible.)
CON: 6 (I have an average pain tolerance and I haven't had to endure any serious injuries. However, I have both Addison's disease and Celiac. This means that bread slowly kills me and that if I don't take steroids, I will probably die within a couple weeks. Also, having these diseases makes me more susceptible to other autoimmune diseases.)
INT: 12 (It's probably common to perceive yourself as smarter than the average person, however, I do think that it's the case for me. I read a lot of challenging books and am constantly searching for new information. I also do well at logic puzzles.)
WIS: 13 (I tend to pride myself on this. While I'm only 25, I have completed a teaching degree which IMO, could be renamed "Bachelor of Common Sense and Sound Judgement. Obviously there are other qualities that a successful teacher needs, but those two seemed essential to me.)
CHA: 14 (I have a very neutral and easy-going attitude. While this has made it so that I don't have a particularly large group of close friends, I can also say that I've been disliked by maybe two or three people in my life. I am very good at public speaking and I consider myself to be a fairly accomplished liar. Finally, I am very empathetic. If I ever do something to hurt another person, I regret it almost immediately. This may sound a tad conflicting with the liar portion, but it really depends on the context.)

Equipment: I have some steel-toed boots and a sturdy walking stick. Make of that what you will, but I doubt it amounts to much.

Class: Bard. I majored in music, so I'd say this is the most obvious choice.

 

[ErrrorWayz]

Str - 8 (I am weak)
Dex - 12 (but I am quite good at dexterity based sports)
Con - 15 (I never get ill)
Int - 15 (The evidence suggests I am pretty clever but not "rain man" smart)
Wis - 3 (I have no common sense, I make awful decisions, I was drunk / on drugs for my formative years, at any given moment I may slip back into that)
Cha - 16 (IRL when I am not drink or drugs people tend to like me a lot and do what I want, on here, less I so)

Class - I am always the wizard but seeing as that's not an option I shall go rogue.

Edit - looking at other people's stats I seem to have maybe pitched these high, seem a bit arrogant now.

Nah, it's just a game. No sense playing if some points of ourselves can't be exaggerated to some extent, or else most of us would end up playing with almost the identical stats (the differences likely being negligible between units as broad as 3-18).

PS: the ability to be critical of ourselves like you were in your edit lends itself to suggest that your WIS score is likely higher than 3... at least in my opinion!

 

[ExtraLexical]

Str - 11 (often asked to help with heavy things)
Dex - 14 (Light on my feet, flexible and good at hitting targets with little practice. Gun laws in the UK are rather strict)
Con - 12 (usually the last to get ill. Takes a lot to get me drunk)
Int - 12 (Good with logic, maths (even though I hate it!) and take to new things relatively quickly)
Wis - 7? (Can make terrible decisions, but also very observant and good at reading people... Difficult one to assign)
Cha - 15 (Public speaker, singer, used to be a teacher and now a journalist. I find it very easy to strike up conversation with complete strangers and get good responses. Also, getting 30 teenagers to actually listen to you is a challenge...)

Class: Either unnamed NPC or bard. Went with bard because of the musical/social part of my life.
