    Edit -

    "It never ceases to amaze me how many people that reply to these threads end up being super human in most of their ability scores.

    Average for humans is set at 10-11. And perhaps superhuman is stretching it a bit, but understand that if you think that you have a strength of 18, by 3rd edition standards, you could pick up something weighing 600 pounds (270 kg) and stagger around with it, by yourself....My refridgerator weighs less than that and is fairly large at 24 cuft. The powerlifters that you see doing a military press on 400+ pounds don't usually stagger around with the weight after picking it up and only hold it over their heads for a very short period."

    I was just going to point that out. Most of the stats in here are ultra high.

    Hmm...seems to be accurate, I think.
    I don't drop many things, but *damn* where did I leave the 'enter'-key? :D

    Given that 9-12 is human average, I'm almost convinced people are either padding thier stats or lying on the test. :)

    Right then:

    Str: 9
    Int: 11
    Wis: 17
    Dex: 14
    Con: 11
    Chr: 17

    I think this was biased too. I dont know Lbs into Kg's and i dont know what a Bench Press is!?
    Also some of the questions where a bit wierd, especially the INT and CON ones. I hardly ever get into fights and I never get sick, but i get winded easily :hmm:

    But then, im indeed wise and charismatic, what can i say? I'm a charmer. (Ive just realised, only 2 of my good friends are guys, the rest are girls?) wierd.

    I think Strength is going to be skewed by definition- only people who actually *do* bench-press have any idea how much they *can* bench press- and they tend to be strong people. For myself, the last time I bench-pressed anything larger than my dog was when I was 24 and staffing a machine-gunning course in the Army- so the only bench-pressing number I knew to use in the test is the one from my long-gone physical prime. But hey- it gives me an above-average strength so I'm not complaining! ;)

    [Edit: upon reflection, I think what this test really says is how much you value each trait- so it would be a good way to design a character that reflected your "ideal" self. So many of the answers are dependent on what interests you (esp. for Charisma and Dexterity) rather than a realistic test of abilities.]

    [​IMG] I got:

    Str: 17 - not sure about this because i've not bench pressed for a while
    Int: 6 - this is definetly wierd since i have an IQ of 128
    Wis: 14
    Dex: 12 - strange i'd have thought it would be higher seeing as i can move pretty well and do flips and tricks such as 1-handed cartwheels :happy:
    Con: 13 - seems kinda low since i have never gone down in a fight and i've had my knee slahsed open and kept on going for about 6 hours.
    Chr: 12 - smooth ;)

    Christ, never knew I was this useless :)
    I really had a laugh when I put a random IQ (t'was well above the average) in, the Int went DOWN to 9 :)
    A reliable test indeed.

    It's the same IRL too though. There are successful ppl out there with real lousy stats. Point is, a fighter with lousy stats and lvl 10 is still far better than a fighter with good stats and lvl 5. Experience is a wonderful thing.

    Padine i think your maybe lying a bit on that test. not many people, only those who have trained a lont time, can lift enough to acheive 18:00

    But let's remember Sir Dargorn... this is the amazing Paladin who played Snake 2 before it was even released. :nono:

    So don't even suggest Padine is lying! :D

    Actually, probably no one can get strength 18/00. Military press 480 lbs!? My @$$. My freakish brother who easily squats 500 lbs and leg presses 1000+ can barely military press 170 lbs!!
    And as for the rest of your stats Padine, 2 words...bullshit.
    "Paladin", HA!! Unless by "paladin" you mean "orc."
