Poll: Your DnD Stats, and I Mean YOUR Stats

I am well with you on the strength numbers but I'll link the page to the information on lifting objects, and it says that the max you can lift overhead is your max carry weight (which for 17 is 260) http://www.d20pfsrd.com/alignment-description/carrying-capacity.

Thanks for the link! RP games have always interested me even though I've never had a group to get into them with.

I hope I didn't come across as combative. I didn't mean to put you down or come across as comparing our lifts. a 260 overhead press is definitely strong and I can understand that being a 17 according to Pathfinder. You just can't take that value and apply it to the deadlift though. Pathfinder's idea to link carry weight and overhead pressing doesn't make sense to me.

No i didn't find you combative or anything, I just wanted to link to the stats, and I definitely used the wrong term I will try to figure out what the lift I do is. I don't body build or anything, so I don't consider myself that strong (only what I do to stay in shape for Jujitsu), so I was surprised to see those numbers. As for linking carry weight and overhead press is also somewhat silly (though isn't that the clean and jerk, lifting from ground to overhead).

Yeah that's the clean and jerk which is an Olympic lifting move. Definitely a relevant and big lift that's hard to do.

Sure, so lets pick the "guard" and "scholar" class of the list.

What ? They don't exist ? What is the closest match then ?

A policemen would be a fighter type (trained with a variety of martaial weopons, full BAB) who has (or should have if competent) special training in law and how to deescatale situation and handle criminals. So ideally Class skills diplomacy, sense motive and knowledge (law). Also it should be either restricted to lawfullness or at least exclude chaotic types.
Obviously we have problems finding a match with the base classes. But why do you think one of your list (fighter, barb, rogue, ranger, bard) is a better fit than paladin? They all fit less than paladin.

It is worse for scholar. None of those classes are scholar or come even close to a wizard in emulating scholar (all knowledge skills class skills, scribe scroll as first level special class feature)

I already mentioned artificer and alchimist as better fits for technicians and scientists but those are not common base classes over various editions of D&D. You could probably find some even better fits that are more obscure. But don't be surprised if people don't pick one of your listed classes when none of them even remotely fits.

A bit late I admit, but I didn't list Paladin for the same reason Druid, Cleric, and Wizard aren't listed. Paladin's do magic, hence they can't be real life classes (because we can't do magic on this plane sadly). After making the post I realized Bards can get proper magic spells.

I just used base classes, otherwise everyone would try to be a "ninja" or something.

STR: 12
DEX: 14
CON: 6
INT: 12~13
WIS: 11
CHR: 8

I've always had above average strength, and I'm great at bobbing/weaving/jumping/etc. But I have terrible stamina. I believe I have above average intelligence as I tend to understand things better/faster than most people I've met. And I know a lot of trivia, so a bit of wisdom as well. I've also always been a 'background character' in any social setting though, and suck at that kind of thing.

As for gear. I'd definitely have leather light armour. Something that restricts your movement as little as possible. Together with that I'd go with two rapiers, two daggers, and a shortbow. I LARP and 2 rapiers and 2 daggers is my favourite setup. And I've done some archery as a hobby so I'm decent at that. I'd definitely be a rogue. As my fighting style during LARP has always been agile, a bit sneaky, and opportunistic. I tend to stay back a little until I see openings to attack, and while being attacked I tend to rely on dodging and parrying. Plus, outside of fighting during larp I usually have...loose morals. If I see a chance to steal something I would like to have, I have no problem doing so.

Wizard with a rogue splash. (not familiar with Artificer)

Rogue splash as (last century) I used to be quite the Aussie larrikin, but now I sit at a computer all day designing IT / OT systems (techno-magic).

Currently to contextualise operational data into business information for a mining multinationals inventory management and MES.
(See I am fluent in many languages including Business BS and Techno-Babble.)

Unnamed npc here.

maybe aspiring to named status.
going to work on an cardboard exclamation point I can hold above my head, see if there's a position for quest giver going.

Hey!
Hey you!
Bring me ten dead rats and a coffee!

 

[Pseudonym]

STR: 7 (I'm small and not very strong)
DEX: 8 (I'm clumsy and can't work with my hands well)
CON: 11 (I have a lot of minor colds but never anything major. If neccesary, I'm pretty sure I would pull through something rough)
INT: 16 (I am stereotypically smart with numbers and abstract thinking and am used to surprising people with that)
WIS: 10 (I certainly have low 'passive perception' when it comes to my surroundings, though I can be very sharp when it comes to reading text or conversations)
CHA: 8 (Things don't ussually get across the way I expect them to, I can maintain a conversation but that took me a while)

Looking around here, most people seem to think they are quite smart (so do I), at least somewhat wise and quite a few people think they have very high constitution.
