What D&D race are you?

[sniffles]

What D&D race is most similar to your personality and/or physical appearance? Not what race would you be if you could be anything, but what race is most like you the way you are IRL.

I think I'm stuck with human, although I have some definite old-school halfling tendencies, judging by my girth.

 

[Michael Tree]

I think I'm a Arcana Unearthed Giant, based on my size, temperament, and likes and dislikes.

 

[Sejs]

Without a doubt - gnome.


Due mainly to my innate spell-like abilities, ownership of a pointy red hat, and the fact that I live in a burrow.

 

[Galethorn]

A human, from the ubiquitous 'northern' area of any setting where the big, burly, fair-skinned guys come from.

You see, I'm about 6'6" tall (198cm for you people who use a sensical measurement system), and around 300 pounds (~137kg), and I have especially big shoulders muscles and long legs. I'm quite strong for someone who doesn't work out regularly (about a 14 or 15 if you go by carrying capacity), and I've got a bardlike array of knowledge (I call it my 'nerdic knowledge' ability) which I can apply effectively to all situations outside of sports, music, and women/girls, which (it turns out) also doubles as a good way to impress girls. I've also got long, fiery-red hair and a fairly well-kept beard, which makes me look like a viking when I don't have the hair back and I'm in my rough outdoor clothes.

I tend to prefer swords and spears, but also have a special place in my heart for long-hafted impact weapons. My favorite colors are blue, green, black, and silver. I hate city life (though I don't mind visiting), and I hate warm weather and sun even more (since, like a cat, I become sleepy and ill-tempered in the warm weather, and as a red-head, I get a 'pink' instead of a tan when I'm out in the sun). Along with gaming and related things (writing, history, science, etc.), I have a particular passion (and at least a minor talent) for making things out of metal and wood, and cooking meat on the grill or in a pan.

I'm definately not a dwarf (too tall; beard is too short; too intellectual; too neutral on the law/chaos axis)

I'm definately not an elf (too big and hairy; I enjoy large, strong-flavored meals too much; while surprisingly fast and non-clumsy for my size, I lack any sort of grace, and I have a very high tolerance for pain, oh, and I'm a stubborn bastard.)

I'm anything but a halfling (too big and tall, too strong, too graceless, too sensible and calm)

It would be funny to even suggest that I'm a gnome (too big and tall, sense of humor is all wrong, and much much more)

If anyone suggests I'm a half-orc, they're wrong (too intellectual, not strong enough, too hairy (!), too much preference for peaceful solutions)

Half-elf is just as wrong as elf (for the same reasons, plus the fact that I'm well-adjusted and (outwardly) self-assured)

I'm a human. End of story.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Have to go with human, too. I'm just too large to be anything else (except half-orc, but I don't think I'm that ugly, and I'm sure I'm not that dumb). There might be some gnomish outlook, and some old-school halfling in the mix, too - fondness of technology, makeshift solutions, relaxed world view, and fondness of food and drink.

(edit)
Oh, but nothing of that usual hobbit/gnome picture of pipe smoking. I think smoking is a vile habit.

 

[Mouseferatu]

Let's see...

Somewhat overweight, vaguely stocky of build, inherently lazy when it comes to physical labor, and really, really furry.

Halfling. (Old-school hobbit-style, not current athletic-style). Tall for a halfling, maybe, but halfling none the less.

 

[fafhrd]

Depending on current blood alcohol levels, either dwarf or gnome.

 

[JoeBlank]

In appearance I am stuck with boring old human, I suppose.

Personality-wise, I'm a hobbit (i.e. old-school halfling). Happy with the comforts of home, enjoy my food and drink, also not inclined to wander or get in too many adventures, but when I do I usually find that I enjoy them, at least after they are over with.

 

[TroyXavier]

Gnome, both for my weird sense of humor and my renaissance (as in many) interests.

 

[Desdichado]

Probably a goblin. Maybe a kobold.
