It's been a while since I looked at all those old AD&D manuals, so I'll be estimating my scores. Anyone know if there's a more accurate way to calculate your scores? I know strength is based on military press, but what about the other scores? Anyway, here goes. I will *TRY* not to overestimate myself, so I'll include some explanations I'm sure you're not interested in. I'm in with the group of people who think that a score of 17 or 18 ought to be pretty exceptional, so I agree that quite a few people here are being overly generous to themselves.
STR: 14 (I'm not sure, but I can certainly military press 140 lbs. Maybe more, but whatever.)
INT: 16 (Isn't this supposed to be your IQ divided by 10? I don't remember. Anyway, IQ 164, perfect PSAT score, 1560 SAT, 1440 SAT in 8th grade, 99th percentile MCAT, etc. And yes, this was before the SAT got easy. This is probably the most inflated score across this thread, IMHO.)
WIS: 10 (And that may be wishful thinking. . .)
DEX: 13 (I'm athletic, but being 6'4" kinda cuts down on my quickness a little. So, I'll put myself on the high end of average. I'm a good dancer, according to just about everyone who sees me in the clubs, so I don't feel bad about this score.)
CON: 14 (Pretty healthy, but I'd hesitate to go higher than this. I probably don't even deserve this, if you go by Astaroth's justified post.)
CHA: 16 (I've done some modeling, and I get along with people. Wouldn't a 17/18 CHA be beautiful and get along with everybody they met? I'm a bit too aloof sometimes for that, I think.)
So here you go. I humbly submit my addition to this exercise in vanity. Or maybe not so humbly. . .
