Your Life as a DnD Class

[Thatwackyned]

Lets see: I have 2 years as a Security Guard, but I slept for most of the job, unless guarding a Warehouse. 6 years in customer service, working hard to serve the customers. 2 years of Judo and Fencing. 6 years playing DnD.

I'll assume 1 full year in a given profession equals 1 level.

So, the way I see it:
Expert level 8

yep, that's it.

How about you?

 

[Theroc]

Human with 21 RHD.

(No profession as of yet, complicated stuff at home delaying my flight from the nest)

 

[Rhun]

I was in management for 8 years, and telecom design for another 10...so:

Aristocrat 8 // Expert 10

 

[Vegepygmy]

I'll assume 1 full year in a given profession equals 1 level.

My boss is a pretty great guy, but ain't no way he's Epic.

 

[Dragonnety]

Hmm, in Univercity for the last 4 years, martial arts for the last 5 years, DnD for 5 years also. I guess I am Commoner 1 / Expert 1 and maybe I will get a monk level if I am lucky

 

[Darklone]

Huhm, that makes me a barbarian wizard?

Without spells, naturally.

Yeah, I'm wondering how many years of martial arts would equate to a level of monk. A black belt has to count for something, right?

 

[Thatwackyned]

Well PC's have classes because they can do the extraordinary. Can a Black Belt do the extraordinary? Up for debate. How many Black Belts are there in the world? Do they all deserve a rank in Monk? I guess it's really up to you.

I say if you can break boards with a Flurry of Blows, sure why not.

but Boards Don't Hit Back!

 

[Dragonnety]

I guess you are right, though I know a few people with more than one monk level.
But what the point of being an NPC? Aren't we the heroes of our own lives? What's the point if you can't imagine the possibilities of yourself? Isn't it the same in DnD? You start as 1st level and imagine yourself in 20th. I am not a monk. And propably I will never become one. Yet If I had to imagine myself in DnD, (not as a PC but as myself being put in the paper) I would like to be a monk. And I believe you have other ideas than expert. Am I right ?

 

[Thatwackyned]

I fully agree. When I dream of Myself in DnD, I am a High level wizard. But this thread is just to take what you have done in your life and just see what would you be classed.
