Average income of a Dungeon reader:

[wampuscat43]

$132k last year (contract IT PM). But I'm an old fart. Wife makes half that, and spends it all.

BigBubba - I used to have an '84 X1/9. Loved that little go-cart. Metallic black with gold trim and spoked wheels. Sounded like a lawnmower but sure was fun to drive.

In my world you'd do better than a 15 INT with a 147 IQ. I know in the book they say about 1pt INT/10pts of IQ but that doesn't work out % wise. Even in the worst rolling system (3d6, cannot rearrange) 1 in 216 people get an 18 (1 in 6x6x6), so I look at it that way, with the numbers. So if you are in the top 0.5% (about 1 in 200) then you get an 18. I don't feel like figuring out what % of rolls is 15 or better, but it is a higher % then the number of people who have a 147 or better IQ, which is less than 1% of the population.

I'm not just biasing this because I've got some super IQ either and want to pad my self esteem because of my awesome IQ. I don't even know my IQ and I'd bet its lower than 147. So go ahead, give yourself a 17 INT, at least.

We played a game one time where the initial stats were the average of what the group thought your stat as a player were. We ended up with a bunch of physically average characters with 15 or 16 Int. This did not last long, because we played ourselves all week and most of us wanted to be something more as characters.

Average income is not as important as outstanding bills. All my money goes toward medical bills for the wife and kids.

Yes!

Not enough to afford to come to PaizoCon, unless I give up DragonCon...

Anywhoo - I was making $40k until my entire office got laid off last year. The new job I have now is great (working for a library supply company), but I've got a while before I hit those lofty heights again.

Needless to say, I am sooooo grateful for the Pathfinder Advantage... :)

I've made somewhere around $1k this year. I feel horrible as my wife has wonderfully been supporting me, but neither of us can afford our bills. Our splurge is the Pathfinder subscription.

My income is on the high end of those mentioned so far.
