Exactly the subject.

Here's mine:

STR 10: Pretty Average. Stronger lower body and abs than in arms, though.
DEX 15: Pretty good reflexes, flexibility etc.
CON 8: I get sick slightly more often than most but I usually recover pretty quickly. I get winded pretty easily, too.
INT 17: Without bragging, I'm pretty booksmart and I'm a fast learner. No genius by any means, but I did well on tests and the like in school.
WIS 16: Pretty knowledgeable about the world and pretty experienced.
CHA 18: I usually know what to say and how to make friends. I'm reasonably attractive.

My stats (totally not biased at all):

Str 8

Dex 14

Con 11

Int 14

Wis 16

Cha 13

I got a pretty low strength score, but I'm content with my other stats. Should I invest my ASI into Str or reroll? Gonna need that carrying capacity soon.


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Based upon Wonderstell's scale:
Str: 12 (I wouldn't say I qualify for Power Attack, but nor am I weak)

Dex: 10 (Not impressive, not depressing)

Con: 12 (Thanks to a habit of taking long walks and an immune system that kills germs at fifty paces)

Int: 16 (Based upon the degree to which I get frustrated when people can't pick up on inferences and extrapolate them, plus some experience troubleshooting in the field)

Wis: 14 (With some sort of penalty to visual perception, and a class with a crappy inherent Will save)

Cha: Either 6 (lots of strangers, crowded setting, or being in a bad mood) or 14 (small groups, settings in which I am comfortable, scenarios in which I know what's going on). Round it off to 10.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Str: 6 (Really bad here, can't really lift anything moderately heavy.)

Dex: 9 (Slightly on the slow side with middling reflexes, but not horrible in every situation.)

Con: Either 7 (for stamina and how fast I get winded) or 16 (for being almost immune to diseases.)

Int: 14 (I could do math in my sleep and I'm a rather fast learner...but I have pretty harsh limits here.)

Wis: 10 (Used to be much worse, now I can understand the logic most humans use in social encounters. There's some sort of perception bonus though and not for the better.)

Cha: 10 (Cole put it better than I could, introverts unite!)

Silver Crusade

Also based on Wonderstell scale :

Str: 16, I am 6.3 and weigh about 260 pounds, I can overpower people from awkward positions more often than not and I can lift heavy objects with ease.

Dex: 13, Due to a history in eastern martial arts that my folks pushed me into and the jobs I used to work in, I can be rather flexible.

Con: 18, have not been sick for more than a day in the last 14 years of my life, I have also been hit by a car trice now but I havent broken a single bone either and I never needed recovery time. my job also requires me to labor for about 10-12 hours a day.

Int: 14, did not have difficulty in school and tend to grasp new concepts pretty quickly.

Wis: 8(maybe 7 or even 5), Reason I got hit by a car trice, I am really impulsive,rash and tend to not think before talking, earning me some ire from time to time.

Cha: 13, I am a jolly guy and always support others, I always try to be positive towards fellow humans.(not an alien, I promise)

Dark Archive

STR: 12
DEX: 15
CON: ether 12 (physical strain) or 17 (minor illnesses)
INT: 14
WIS: 13
CHA: 10 (people i don't know well/don't know if i have common interests with, because i suck at coming up with something to talk about.) 12 (everyone else)


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Hmm...based upon the above standard:

Str: 6 (Know what I can't lift? A 35-lb tub of cat litter.)

Dex: 8 (Not terribly flexible, reflexes aren't the best.)

Con: 14 (This one's kind of a toss-up. I get tired easily, but I almost never get seriously ill.)

Int: 16 (I was the kid in school who always got good grades without studying and I read things like tomes about the Genpei War and crime in Victorian England for fun. Terrible at math, though.)

Wis: 13 (Relatively okay at reading situations but nothing stellar.)

Cha: 10 (I don't think I'm actively unpleasant to be around, but I also don't think I make much of an impression on people. I'm pretty quiet unless I'm around people I know really well. Yeahhhhh introverts!)

Wow...I'd make a pretty terrible PC.

Yes - because everyone here has an Int of 14+. >.<

It's like how 90% of everyone thinks that they're an above average driver.


Rough estimate.

Adept 1
Str 12 (my size gives a slight advantage)
Dex 12 (I blame dance classes)
Con 12 (size thing again)
Int 14 (abstract thoughts, logical puzzles, etc)
Wis 7 (I'm terribly unobservant, often too trusting)
Cha 7 (I have difficulties relating to people)

Skills (2 base, +2 Int, +1 race, +1 favored class)
- Bluff 1 rank
- Craft (Visual Art) 1 rank
- Craft (Game Design) 1 rank
- Craft (Literary) 1 rank
- Knowledge (Occult) 1 rank
- Diplomacy 1 rank
- Sense Motive 1 rank

Feats
- Social Adaptation (+2 Diplomacy, +2 Bluff)
- Open Minded (+1 skill rank / level)


I tend to think the people with the lower "point builds" are being less biased.


My attempt:

Str 10 ( 6'0" and broad-shouldered but fairly inactive daily practice; could be up to 11 at times)

Dex 11 (pretty good in sports but never practiced)

Con 11 ( I cycle so good cardio but not practiced or above average)

Int 13 (134-136 IQ, breezed through school, pretty good memory and grasp complex concepts)

Wis 16 ( only just realizing how I read people and social situations much better than anyone I know. An instructor and becoming a bit of a leader and mentor to people in healing / creativity-related fields.)

Chr 13 ( I don't think I light up a room when I come in but people say I do, and say I have a strong positive presence. I think this is related to the Wisdom - reading other people aspect. I woulda given myself 11 a couple years ago and maybe 10 years from now I'll say the same thing about now) :)

Typically, those interested in RPGs are usually those who are entertained and engaged with intelligence-based gameplay, including but not limited to - imagination, numbers, and abstract ideas.

It would actually be unexpected, I think, to find that there wasn't a large number of posters here who weren't above average intelligence, let alone below average.

This.

Intelligence, as the game stats describe it, is something that favors bookish sorts who don't mind reading reams upon reams of text in order to create a fantasy world.

STR 10

DEX 10

CON 10

INT 9 I'm a slow learner, I don't have many skills, and I often do forget things. So according to PF I'm below average.

CHA 12 I make friends easily and people seem to enjoy my company

WIS 12 I can read people/situations fairly quickly


STR 9
DEX 14 (trained in martial arts for 10 years – dex went up from that)
CON 10
INT 18 (test out as genius in multiple standardized tests)
WIS 14 (read people, and have many who come to me for advice)
CHA 9

Align - LG (or at least trying)

When I take "what class are you tests" I usually get Cleric, Wizard, and/or Mystic Theurge.


Based off scale:

Strength: 14
Dexterity: 16 (More finesse than ranged accuracy. I fence.)
Constitution: 12 (The scale here seemed a little weird. I can't do physical activity for 12 hours straight, but I can stay awake for days)
Intelligence: 19
Wisdom: 10 (My long term planning and situation reading is great, I just tend to drop it for the first silly idea I get)
Charisma: 10 (It gets higher if I'm interacting with certain kinds of people)

I think the scale's a little off. Perhaps instead of a scale that seems to measure different things on different levels, we should come up with a series of questions each of which are worth a point or two?

Liberty's Edge

Well, using Wonderstell's scale:

Str 9 or 10 (I'm no great shakes in physical strength, but stronger than I might appear. I'd bet lower, but I've met quite a few people within my age range I'm stronger than, anyway.)
Dex 12 (I have excellent balance and general agility, though my hand-eye-coordination isn't so great.)
Con 10 (I'm pretty average health wise all factors considered.)
Int 16 (I am very smart. Not genius level, but very smart in any case.)
Wis 18 (I'm planning on being a psychologist, and most of my social group look to me for guidance and advice on various subjects.)
Cha 14 (I'm pretty charming when I put some effort into it, but not with random strangers as a rule. Or, more likely, a 10 and the Conversion Inquisition given I have Aspergers and it's all learned, not natural.)

Class-wise, I'm probably an Expert 1-2/Cleric 1 (Luck Domain and Conversion Inquisition). That accurately reflects my skill-set and the fact that I'm an extremely devout pagan (to be specific, Lady Luck is my patron deity).


Right, forgot balance was a thing for dex. I'm probably a 9-12 there as I can stand on one leg for a pretty long time and had a habit of sitting Indian-style on a somewhat large, rubber ball as a kid without having issues. I was also not too bad at riding a horse. That said I can't skate on ice or wheels at all.


4 people marked this as a favorite.

Lets see, based on what people in this thread are using for their standards in a totally non-biased way:

Str 16. I lift heavy objects frequently at work and still finish out my shifts with relative ease. When bro's be askin' if I even lift, I go: "Yeah, bro. Non-homoerotic ass-slaps, right? Lol." Clearly I'm jacked.

Dex 18. I'm mildly flexible. I did a flip once though.

Con 18. Never been in the hospital sick or broken a bone. I'm clearly immortal.

Int 18. Power Attack is my favorite feat. I can totally do the addition required in this game easy. I'm all about that math, yo. Clearly, I have the memory of Rain Man or an overworked Head Nurse.

Wis 18. Yeah, my bro's don't listen to me a lot, so I remember saying I told ya so constantly. Clearly I'm a sage.

Cha 9. Peeps don't listen to what I say, but they tell me how crazy-super good-looking I am all the time. clearly I'm the best parts of Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth.

Edit:
Or, you know. The stats I put in my profile. I think a two-point-buy is close enough.


Str: 13 (Nationally Ranked Gymnast)

Dex: 17 (Nationally Ranked Gymnast)

Con: 9 (Gymnastics is not an endurance sport)

Int: 13

Wis: 10

Cha: 11


Int is pretty easy to calculate if you assume rolled stats in a 3-18 range and know how many standard deviations you are above average or your typical percentile range. 18 is a 1/216, 17 is 1/108.

Strength: 11
Dexterity: 7
Constitution: 9
Intelligence: 17 (19 if +2 racial mods are allowed)
Wisdom: 14
Charisma: 12


That time again?

Strength 10
Dexterity 11
Constitution 8
Intelligence 16
Wisdom 12
Charisma 7

I'm reasonably sure I'm human, so assuming I put my +2 in Int, I would be, what, like a 2 point buy?

Also, an argument could be made for me having a 10 Wis and Dex, which would actually make me -1 point buy.

*flexes*

Clearly it's wizard or bust for me!

It's entirely possible for 90% of a population to be above average. If you don't see why, you are very likely confusing mean and median. Don't feel bad, it's a common mistake...even for someone with an Int of 14+. ;-)

Dear Slithery D,

<sarcasm> For someone who claims a 17-19 intelligence I was surprised you got the probability of rolling a 17 wrong... </sarcasm>

P(17) = 3/216 = 1/72

Well, speaking personally, I've never gamed long-term with anyone who wasn't at least fairly bright.

I think there's probably a correlation between those who like games involving math and creative thought and above average intellectual abilities.

My own IQ (which isn't a direct equivalent for intellect, mind you), is around 140 or so. So...I dunno if that's actually Int 16, it depends on what scale you use, but it is definitively 14+ if you think IQ is a reasonable metric (and we don't really have a better one at the moment).


Already done! I used the basic NPC stat array to reflect my relative non-heroicness. My Human +2 went to Intelligence to make sure I can cast all of my spells into the higher levels; one bonus point from leveling went to Intelligence, the other to Dexterity. Have to hit even numbers to see a benefit!

I'd say an IQ of 140 is a solid 18. There's no 1 in 216 people have an IQ of 140+; it's probably more like 1 in 300. IQ 145, which is 3 standard deviations above the mean, is .15% of the population, or ~1/666. Worst case, erring on the low side you could go with 17.

Well, I'm well below genius level, which makes for issues with giving me a maxed score. Heck, I've met several people smarter than me personally, and I'm not exactly inclined to met huge numbers of people (the people I get to know do tend towards the smarter end of things, though).

So...such people definitely exist, and that's not even counting the people way smarter than me like Stephen Hawking.

Right....of course, then we're getting into questions like "what level is Stephen Hawking?" :P

I have certainly encountered people far smarter than myself. If we're going to say 18 is the maximum human intelligence, then my own intelligence is more like a 12 or 13. I guess it really depends on what, exactly, a straight 3d6 is intended to represent.

As for you, IQ 145 is the definition of genius, so 140 is not far off. Remember, of course, that 145 is the bottom of genius. And when you're talking about smart, it's all relative. My IQ is around 130, and I like to put it this way: I'm often the smartest person in the room...as long as I'm in a fairly small room. ;-)

bugleyman wrote:

I tend to think people in the real world max at 8th level or less. Max Human Intelligence would thus be 25 at Venerable, placing Steven Hawking at 24 or so. Unless you think there are real items that increase it, in which case maybe more like a 26.

Well, in Pathfinder, Humans do get a floating +2, which should likely be figured in at the very least. Plus aging modifiers, of course.

bugleyman wrote:

140 was me rounding...I think my actual number was 138 last time I had it tested (in High School). For the record.

And yeah...when I think 'genius' I must admit I'm usually thinking of the people I've met with IQs of 160+. The people I just knew were smarter than me by talking to them.

Ok, fine. So it was a broom closet, and the janitor wasn't present. :)


I am going to give myself some range and a bit of explanation here:

STR 11-12 (I am not physically weak, curling 50lbs isn't difficult for me, but I am no superhuman)
DEX 9-11 (I am pretty average here, I am more lucky when it comes to dextrous situations then actually dextrous)
CON 8-10 (I have spent a lot of my life sickly, but I am still kicking and getting better too!)
INT 16-17 (I have a higher education in physics, mathmematics, engineering and computer science. I have a repuatation for being intelligent and have an IQ nearing 150.)
WIS 11-13 (I've been through a lot of crazy things in my life so far, and it leads to having advice for a lot of odd situations. People often seek me out when they need counsel)
CHA 11-13 (I am generally a likeable guy and never have issues getting along with people. I also make friends quickly. The only issue is I genuinely enjoy alone time more than being around others)


Every single time I see this topic online or in real life, people give themselves very high int, moderately high cha, and low wis. This is the first time I've seen the majority of people give themselves high wis and low cha instead. Maybe it's due to the TTRPG gamer demographic becoming older, more self-reflective, and realizing that they're introverted nerds.

You'd make an okay summoner. Summoners are practically NAD (No-Ability Dependent, in contrast to SAD and MAD), so no worries!

Hm, your life could be that of an average anime protagonist or something. Average dude who gets magical help from some higher cosmic power (eidolon and summon monster SLA). Lucky guy!

Str 8 (I'm small and not in good shape)
Dex 8 (My reflexes tend to lag.)
Con 8 (Again, not in good shape)
Int 10 (I'm not particularly well learned or smart but not particularly unadapted anywhere excessively.)
Wis 9 (I'm easily distracted by basically anything)
Cha 11 (I seem to find connections easily even if I don't feel like I'm doing anything particularly special or unusual.)

Sorry, can't help you here, Pathfinder has no stats for deities.


Str - 12

I can carry heavy objects for a bit, and am often the one told to do so.

Dex - 22

Okay, this seems kinda dumb. I can't jump as well as that might imply (Suppose I should put points in acrobatics.) But as anyone who has tried to throw or hit me can attest "Very graceful, capable of dodging multiple thrown objects" describes me very well. I'm relatively out of shape now, but I've done dance, martial arts, rock climbing, stunt driving, and laser tag; can jump from one precarious (often deadly) rock to another, rest on top of objects others can't balance on, and just generally make people really question how the hell I did stuff. I can't do a split, but my score is fairly high even if my skills are low.

Con - 12

This one is harder. I don't even know. "Laboring for 12 hours" and "able to stay awake for days on end" doesn't sound hard at all, but I don't feel they fit me. To be fair, I've never broken a bone and with my habits I should've. But even when pushing myself I've also never fallen or landed badly enough to break a bone.

Int - 15

Blaaaaah, this just feels arrogant. Technically, by some people's count I'm a genius, but let's go ahead and say I don't think highly of being a "genius." I express more of the distracted and difficulty dealing with mundane things side of "genius."

Wis - 12

I would honestly say I was wiser and took a mental ability score hit here from trauma.

Cha - 18

My wit won't wrongly waver. I whirl out wordplay worthy of wanton wickedness to whisk up wretched worth-lacking lackies.


S - 11
D - 10
C - 11
I - 15
W - 13
Ch - 8

I could labor for 12 hours, but I'm smart enough to pay someone else to do it.

As far as Charisma, that's a difficult one to gauge. I gave myself an 8 because I try to always see things from a non-biased point of view. That usually doesn't go over well with people because they are used to most people blowing smoke.


Strength 12. This is based on my light load carrying capacity, between my trenchcoats, energy drinks, and carrying big bags of flour and rice around (I cook my own food), I can handle about 40lbs on my frame plus my arms before my speed declines, and that's actually pretty long haul.
Dexterity 12. I can make a reflex save, but I wouldn't say I'm very flexible or capable of dodging much. Just enough for every day activities to work out pretty well.
Constitution 16. I can run for about 8 miles, I can take my shots, I don't get sick often and when I do it isn't that bad, and I've been known to go for 15 mile walks.
Intelligence 18+. High enough to test into Mensa, which puts me somewhere in the top 2 percent.
Wisdom 15. I am not known for making bad decisions or being coerced
Charisma 9-17. My friends and I stated eachother out in the past and I was given a 17 in Charisma. But I have borderline, bipolar, and social anxiety, so that entirely depends on where I am with my psychological problems. When I'm at a high I can be that 17, but when I'm at a low I'm pretty unlikeable.

It's like how 90% of everyone thinks that they're an above average driver.

Typically, those interested in RPGs are usually those who are entertained and engaged with intelligence-based gameplay, including but not limited to - imagination, numbers, and abstract ideas.

It would actually be unexpected, I think, to find that there wasn't a large number of posters here who weren't above average intelligence, let alone below average.

Somewhat I'll give you - but I don't think that everyone here is in the top 1/4 of INT either. (Going by a 3d6 bell curve, 14+ INT is the top 16.2% of the population.)

Though - some of it is likely that people are too used to playing adventurers with much higher than normal stats, that they assume that they have stats which are equivalent to them. Based upon the gamers I've met in general, I can't weigh in on INT, but I seriously doubt that anywhere close to the majority are even average in all physical stats.

Well a 14 Int is only +10% to relevant statistics. Also consider that while only 16.2% of the population (roughly 1,134,000,000 people assuming a 7 billion population) will have 14+ Int, that's far from saying that only 16.2% of the population of TTRPG culture would have them (as if people with above-average Intelligence were more inclined towards tabletop RPGs, then you'd find a much higher overall % of the community with above-average Intelligence by comparison to the population at large).

That said, I built my stats with point buy, using the 3 PB that the core rulebook says are used for nonheroic characters. I'm not a heroic character so 3 PB it is. Though I forgot to apply the floating +2, and I'm really not sure about the feats (because I also forgot to adjust for class skills).

Hmmmm...

*shrug* It's all in good fun, right?

You'd make an okay summoner. Summoners are practically NAD (No-Ability Dependent, in contrast to SAD and MAD), so no worries!

Hm, your life could be that of an average anime protagonist or something. Average dude who gets magical help from some higher cosmic power (eidolon and summon monster SLA). Lucky guy!

Thank you both very much! Great suggestions! I struggled to make good Summoners before, and then they were required to be Unchained, etc... Maybe I'll look into them again if I'm going to be one. I love animals, and dogs and cats are my two favorites. So I think my Eidolon will be some kind of Cat-Dog.

Oh, I realize that everyone else did a super good job explaining their stats and I just kind of dumped mine. Very sorry!

Str - 8 Because I do not lift heavy things very often, so I'm not used to it.
Dex - 8 I have some troubles with maneuvering. I have been told many people like me have the same issue though, so it's ok.
Con - 8 I get tired somewhat easily, and at one point my parents were worried I was asthmatic.
Int - 8 Sometimes I have a hard time learning stuff, but I do my super best.
Wis - 8 It's better than before, but sometimes I am impulsive. Pathfinder has helped me with this in the context of "surviving" like a combat. You need to make good decisions to survive, and good decisions help in real life even when stakes are lower.
Cha - 10 May have been as low as 6 before! But I'm reasonably confident it's 10 now thanks to the PFS community! I am autistic but relatively high functioning. Socializing was still scary though! Very much bullied and did not have that many friends. Once I started PFS I could relate to people a lot more, and made friends and stuff! I made a lot of mistakes too but I'm very happy now.

My stats may seem low, but the advice on playing a Summoner is a great example that it's not so bad! Because people helped me pick an appropriate Class, just like people helped me start playing Pathfinder before. I am happy with my character. :)
