[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3335960, member: 29746"] I've taken some of those online tests, though I don't remember the exact results at this point. Maybe they're floating around on one of these threads somewhere. I'll also mention that once, for personal amusement, I went to the trouble of figuring out what level a d20 Modern character would have to be to have all the talents I know I have, and it came out to something like 12th. The big surprise for me was that most of my levels were in Dedicated Hero rather than Smart Hero, when I'd always considered myself more "intelligent" than "wise." Alignment is easiest- every single test I take pegs me squarely and staunchly as Chaotic Good. Also, in reading the D&D alignment descriptions, the only ones that don't ruffle my feathers reading them are CG, NG, and CN- the Lawfuls in particular usually make me grit my teeth and seethe with frustration or rage thinking about them. :) I [b]HATE HATE HATE[/b] oppression of any sort. For my stats, I'd go with: [b]STR 8[/b]- I'm definitely slightly below average in this department. Trying to change that, but it's slow going. My high metabolism has always made it difficult for me to gain muscle. [b]DEX 14[/b]- I'm no juggler, but I'm also very agile, capable of sneaking up on people pretty easily, and can slip through crowds and closing doors with ease that other people draw up short before even attempting. Also, I move much faster than the norm; in D&D terms my base walking speed (as I can attest, from recent treadmill exercise) is 45- 4.5 miles per hour. As a final tip to consider, the d20 Modern thing made me add a couple of levels in Fast Hero to get the speed-increase talents. [b]CON 16[/b]- Though I do get sick once every year or two, the symptoms are typically mild enough that I don't need to stay home to heal up.

[b]INT 16 or 18[/b]- depending upon whether one measures by the IQ/10 rule, or by the percentiles/standard deviations rule. I'm roughly in the 1/100000 range, in terms of percentages, but the one time I took a real IQ test graded and watched by a psychiatrist it came up between 160 and 170 (he never actually told me a specific number).

In terms of D&D race, if not Human I'd likely end up an Elf or Half-Elf- my temperament suits them perfectly. Class-wise, since I've done plenty of mystical/occult reading and exploration in real life, the obvious class is Wizard. Assuming I'm multiclass, the secondary would likely be Rogue, with a slim chance of Bard. If I'm allowed to keep my d20 Modern levels for this, that would make me (probably) a Wizard 9/Rogue 3. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to [i]Teleport[/i] myself off to bed. :p [/QUOTE]
