[Poll] What do you think your RPG stats would be?

Maybe it started attacking your brain cells xD
No seriously i feel sorry for you mate

 

undeads do everything for me because i'm insanely lazy

 

high cha and decent wis/int, [Summoner] and [Healer] classes seem appropiate for you

Don't worry, we'll throw you in the front lines, I mean if the top [CON] is true then you seem to be a fine tank and you'll be fine, if you aren't fine, we'll learn that it was the bottom [CON]

 

STR 9 } (What even is exercise)
DEX 12 } ^
CON 11-12} ^
INT 20 (must.consume.knowledge)
WIS 18 (though I am socially inept people often ask me for advice)
CHA 16 (I don’t know why either, but nearly everyone in my school knows about me and because I’ve changed school, now about 400 people know me irl but I don’t know them xd)

2nd it’s a 40-5-55 split I think

3rd Well I have no feeling of self worth, but I am fairly logical in most of my decisions so I’d say 70-20-10 (under-realistic-over)

 

Strength: 8
Dexterity: 11
Constitution: 8
Intelligence: 16
Wisdom: 10
Charisma: 8
Might have overestimated my strength and dexterity...
I'd guess that most people underestimate themselves, unless they're like me and overestimate certain points to make themselves feel better (can't push a door open with one arm and have it swing out, even if I have momentum from walking into it)

 

Maybe you should consider gaining weight then xD

 

That's the same for me xD
Everywhere i go people tend to remember me ... for my weirdness

 

Str :12-17 / 1-3 Depending on what you define as 'heavy' and long distance
Dex : 16-19 /2-4 , depending on i'm using to 'hit'
Con : 16-17 /3 , most of the time maybe
Int : 18-19 /4 , if you're pretty vague with 'new processes'. For me, it's more like finding easier ways to do something old
Wis : 14-17 /2-3 at best
Cha : 12-13 / 1 , but noone in this city is a 3 unless a) the person addressing them is drunk / trying to sell something / want their time b) knows them from before

And yes, I would say this might be a bit of overestimations, considering they're from my best times

 

weird is good right? at least they don't randomly hate you for like nothing...

 

Well I am always remembered as either Thor(don’t ask) or “the dude with the really long hair” or I get mistaken as a teacher. It’s fun to confuse new students *snicker*. But it could also be my weirdness. Dunno.

 

First, as stats go, your 'distribution' is broken.
The original D&D made 18's 'Olympic class'. and 19-25 were within the realm of legends/dieties. At the very least 18 was the threshold for humanity without magic/special exception/intervention. In any case, allowing severe advances 'up', without equal advances 'down' further skews accurate representation, as it's probably true that at least as many people 'slack off' as 'work hard'. This is even assuming 'hard work can even lead to an appropriate stat increase.
I find thinking about the charisma 'stat' also suggests a LOT more about local culture and personal choices than individual personal ability/appearance. It's pretty much a 'gamey' resolution value. The fact that it's mostly useful (in game) within the same 'race' backs up this quite a bit I think. In truth, a 'charismatic' person is bound by knowledge of the other person's desires/culture- otherwise 'drawing them in' is limited- even if they're stunningly good-looking.

That said my stats would approach 'higher' mental, 'slightly above average' physical.
Sorry to not use those numbers- but I think they misrepresent in themselves.

Second, self-appraisal requires a few factors to be accurate:

• Awareness of recognizable 'standard' (you just enforced your own)
  
• Experience with standard in context (or ability to accurately estimate, as people must 'convert to' yours, so some accuracy is lost)
• Ability to be objective and avoid conversion and presentation bias

Seeing as most cultures are 'self-promotion' positive (sales, job interviews, even dating), it's more likely than most people will habitually over-estimate on top of any other errors. In most situations the 'punishment' for over-estimating is delayed if ever enforced, while the 'punishment' for under-estimating is immediate. For example- getting scolded or fired from a job where you lied about your abilities when they finally find out (a few paychecks later) vs not getting hired in the first place because someone else seems better (even if they lied).
Anyway, the poll results seem to indicate most people realize some aspect of that issue as well.

Finally, I think 'life experience' teaches people to not overestimate themselves (too much). After all, 'falling short' is a good corrective lesson (if learned). Well- it would be if people never had cause to blame anything else...

As an aside, I drop the CHA stat & use APP for Appearance, then leave the rest to role-play as it is a knowledge/presentation dynamic. Even then it's still a pretty useless stat against those who care about fact/logic, etc. (in most situations).

 

It depends but people tends to avoid me soo... i don't really know what's worst.

Well having long hair can be considered weird as you're not following the trend.
As for the thor part i can somewhat guess where this is coming from xD

 

STR 8
DEX 9
CON 12
INT 13
WIS 15
CHA 9
Whether a person overestimates or underestimates depends on their ego. People with large egos or high self esteem will overestimate while those with smaller egos or low self esteem will underestimate. The most telling stat in telling this would be the Charisma stat.

 

Well, i took on a truck before and it gave me a week/month at the hospital. And even though i have low intelligence(due to science class and stuff) my wisdom pretty gave me a good intuition and a bit high in logic...

 

So... science class makes people stupid ?

 

I have to try to work this out by those examples.
Str: 16 ~ 19 since i can pickup 140lb weight one handed and can punch thru 2 inches if wood.
Dex: 18 ~ 19 I'm light on my feet and can sneak up on people.
Con: 16 ~ 17 I can shrug off most illness that people catch and never had the common illness people get, also I can go a full days worth of labouring since that was one of the job I have done.
Int: 16 ~ 17 I can pick up tasks very quickly and priblem solve easly, I can solve university level maths.
Wis: 10 ~ 11 I can make reasoned decisions, since i have behaviour blindness I can't say it's higher.
Cha: 8 ~ 11 i can do polite conversation but generally a bore.

Going by those stats I would have to say, I'll have to chose spellsword as my class.

 

Well, i'm not good at memorization so i'm pretty much stupid...

 

Being weird is fun! \(^^)/

I disagree with you about the stat system being broken.

Just because in D&D it's done like that, it doesn't mean it has to be like that here.

And well, Charisma is basically knowing how to talk to people IMO, you don't need to know anything about the topics they tend to talk about if you're a smooth talker. Trying to reduce it to appearance is kinda... Eh?

 

If we talk about the D&D system we are all at most at 10 or 11 in all of our stats, because... as we all know we aren't adventurers or legends but commoners, if we were a legend we could be above 20... if we were a barbarian our str and con can go relatively high too... but we are commoners, scholars at best, so...

 

It would be easier to say charisma stat is the measure if a person's force of personality, in how present themselves.
Appearance can only get a person so far, I've meet some beautiful girls that a sponge would be more interesting.
