[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 2961267, member: 40370"] I wonder how brutally honest people will be in this post? I love this sort of thing.... How much "stretch of the imagination" is allowed in the stat generation? Also, you did not include what race!!!! Edit #1 pt.1: Also, what weapon, etc.? Well, back in the day when I was playing Villains and Vigilantes they used a stat generation based on the 3d6 image of you yourself. The whole idea was "Jack Jeffries" (or whoever the player was) gets bitten by a radioactive chinchilla and becomes ______ (insert name). So, my stats will be based on that, and using the brutally honest mode rather than "stretch of the imagination" mode, but of course these stats will be tweaked since those generated then as the years have gone by. Str: 9 (used to be a 10 but have had little activity in recent years and am getting flabby) Dex: 12 (used to be quite agile, but again, little activity has blunted this) Con: 9 (used to be healthy as an ox but shattered my health some time back on accident) Int: 14 (this has increased a bit simply due to a wide selection of reading and learning on my own) Wis: 15 (this has increased over the years, and not necessarily by the school of hard knocks, but by studying wisdom teachings for 18 years or so under masters and sages, etc.) Cha: 15 (this has increased quite a bit! Although for me this would not be leadership skills as much as personality development, partly due to the wisdom thing) Com: 14 (a little good looking, but much of the "attraction quotient" has increased because of the personality increase) As for class ... probably a druid. (Multi-classing? Err ... I don't know. Probably not.) As for race ... in all likelihood a wood elf. As for Alignment: Neutral Good - hands down. Now, if I was in a fantasy world, etc. then the physical stats would undoubtably increase a bit, and I base this on the fact of the normal activities of the race and upbringing. Perhaps increase each of the physical stats by two? Edit #1 Pt. 2: I would probably NOT be the adventuring sort, but I DO love to travel to other countries and places. In combat I would stand back with a bow and fill people full of arrows while casting some spells every now and again. [/QUOTE]
