[QUOTE="Sixchan, post: 749083, member: 9189"] Hmm...after all this talk about over estimation, I feel a need to justify my stats. Str 8 I have below average stength. I have a feeling it might even be a 7. Dex 14 Okay, so I am using Video Games to justify this partly. I'm good at lightgun games, meaning I must have a bonus to my BAB, but also I can run pretty fast, and tend not to be hit by thrown object very easily (I've had a lot thrown at me). I also have very good balance when it comes to walking and standing and tripping up, but I can't ride a bike... Con 8 I [i]may[/i] be underestimating here. I'm suseptible to various mild diseases such as colds and flus, I wouldn't guess I have high hitpoints, although I do have the stamina to run quite a few miles. Int 14 This is continuing along the IQ/10 idea, as I still don't feel comfortable giving myself an 18 when I believe that you really do need to be a hero to get something like that. Above 18 and I consider it supernatural, usually (so the world's strongest man would have 18 strength, and 18/00 in 1e). But a 140 IQ is all the justification I need here. Wis 9 This is hard because Wisdom is really 'Wisdom & Perception'. I have very low wisdom, but tend to notice things others don't. But since the stat is called wisdom, I gave wisdom priority. Cha 11 Here also I find it difficult. I'm a really great friend, and I have tons of them, but not one has any romantic feelings for me. Which is hell for me incidently, because there's one I really like... I am a good speaker, and can usually get my point across with feeling and emotion, so that goe in my favour, pulling it up, IMO to an 11. I'm just staring at it now, but I think that makes everything 10, so I'm a 12-point character. Ouch. [/QUOTE]
