Ability score of 18

[Ogre Mage]

If you could have ONE ability score of 18 in REAL LIFE but be Joe Average in all other respects (10-11), which one would you choose? Why and what would you then do?

 

[ArcOfCorinth]

Intelligence. Intelligence in today's society can easily make up for average abilities in everything else. With my higher intellect, it's feasible to assume I could research/pioneer ways to make myself stronger, faster and tougher. I can learn to know better (wisdom) and can learn methods to make myself more presentable.

 

[jmucchiello]

Wisdom. I hate when I should have known better.

 

[maggot]

Constitution. Being smart is good and all, but living a long healthy life is the best.

 

[Romnipotent]

Charisma, but can't it be higher?
The others can be 17's!

 

[jgbrowning]

Con for me.

joe b.

 

[Talrinys]

Con for me too, being healthy is more important than anything else.

 

[atra2]

CON 10-11 is healthy. 9 or less would be slightly sickly.

I pick Wisdom. It's good to have the best possible chance to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. And "All things are possible through God..." covers anything you might need the other stats for.

 

[Algolei]

I went for Intelligence. Sure could use that +1 to my current score.

 

[Particle_Man]

I'd pick wisdom. Then I would have a better shot at knowing how to have a meaningful life.

Then I would write a book about it.
