Roleplaying is hip.
I've had this discussion with my fellow roleplayer Alright Guys in the past: if you were a Dungeons and Dragons character, what would your character sheet look like? All traits are on a scale of 0-18. This is what a character sheet for me would look like plus some explanations for each:
Strength 8: This one's pretty straightforward. Strength is for lifting tractors and punching through walls. For me, it's mostly for turning doorknobs and carrying groceries. I occasionally have to move televisions at work, which is strenuous. I am not strong, slightly below average I'd say.
Dexterity 14: This one can be figured a couple of ways. If it refers to hand eye coordination, I'm pretty damn good thanks to a lifetime of Mario Bros and Pac-Man. When it comes to balance, I'm slightly worse. I don't spontaneously fall down or anything and my balance is pretty good for a tall lanky person, but you won't catch me walking tightropes.
Constitution 7: This stat refers to physical health and well-being. I'm not so good here. I don't exactly get sick very often, but I'm never entirely healthy either. I always have minor aches and pains, and I often have to make Fortitude saves during meals or I become ill.
Intelligence 13: This refers to logical thinking and problem solving skills. I do decent here. I'd like to think I'm fairly smart though I'm no genius. Being a genius would take far too much energy.
Wisdom 17: Wisdom refers to common sense and good judgement. This is my best stat. I have a good head on my shoulders. I'm fairly grounded. People often come to me for advice which I am happy to give.
Charisma 12: This refers to force of personality. This is a tough one to score. I think I initially repel people, though once the external shell has been breached people seem to like me. Who knows?
What would you guys look like?
