[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 3597459, member: 14451"] I think it would be cool to also have an article to figure out your real world stats. We did that once back in the AD&D days. We made up some rules for how to figure out your real world stats and played them as PCs. It was actually a lot of fun. You didn't have to do a lot of role-playing, because you were you. If there was ever a question about if you could do something, you just had to do it in the real world and the DM allowed it. Of course we still banned knowledge of gun powder and non fantasy stuff to keep the spirit of AD&D. I think I had something like: STR 17 INT 13 WIS 11 DEX 13 CON 16 CHR 15 Of course, that was in my youth when I could lift a lot more and could run 10 miles non stop. :) ;) :cool: Cigs, don't ever start :uhoh: :confused: :eek: EDIT: of course 3.5 would be different. I wouldn't even begin to know how to do it today. As an example, I can drag/pull a lot of weight, I have really strong legs, but I don't think my upper torso could match the same amount as the STR score would indicate. [/QUOTE]
