Was not accusing you.

Another factoid. When a human being does a simple sit up, they have to lift what amounts to 5 to 6 times their own body weight just to raise their torso from off of the floor. Gravity is a pain in the hind end aint it? So, say a six year old weighs 50 pounds, that is basically 250 pounds of lift or more for that six year old to do a sit up. Now, who says that even a little tyke can't be a powerhouse of human strength?

Something tells me the twits will be coming out of the woodwork after these posts, time to grab asbestos underpants and prepare for flaming assaults.

How to dertermine if you have 18 strength.

Do as I did. Work on a farm growing up. If you can carry four 100 pound sacks of livestock feed, 2 on each shoulder, then run about 50 or so feet with them, then run up a ladder to store it in the loft, you are are doing pretty good. That's 400 pounds of encumberance. Now do this sun up to sun down, all day, every day. Buck green hay bales that weigh 150 to 200 pounds or more, tossing, loading, unloading, and, tossing it about teen feet or so to the next person in the chain of folks trying to get it stored.

Why did I set my dex to 16 for the young me? Well, at the time, I could juggle knives and flaming torches, but, I was no tightrope walker or a master of acrobatics. I could get about 7 flaming torches and knives into the air before it got dangerous.

And why the con? Well, the one thing I seem to be gifted with is to take the worst possible beatings that one could imagine. To give you some idea of what I am talking about, I have wiped out on a motorcycle doing over 100mph in the Napa Valley in Cali. I took a curve a little to hard and I think I hit a wet leaf or a stray piece of gravel. I flew helmet first into a tree after skidding like a skipping stone over the pavement. I broke a lot of bones that day. ....... rhapsody's note: etc. etc..
no offense, but judging by how much pain you've put yourself through, your int. should be around 2. but being coherent is an obvious boost. honestly you should be dead.

one question: my friend has a .45 calibur bullet lodged in his brain from a drive by, and some shotgun pellets under his ribcage from an 8-guage hunting accident. how much constitution is that worth?

7 knives? how high would you be throwing these...i can do 5 without cutting myself (though i dont use the actual knives for practice, i use a misbalanced metal bar, with one side marked "blade").

I BOUGHT SOME THROWING KNIVES TODAY! haha...can't wait to save up enough for some ninja stars. I've been practicing for the past few hours....i can get the knives to fly straight and hit blade first about 3 out of 5 times now. i feel like wearing a long robe and getting in bar fights, then whipping one right over the guys head...ahh sweet fantasies (that sounds wrong)

PLEASE people. 18 strength is higher than the champion heavyweight lifters. They've got something like 15 or 16 max!

Einstein didn't even have 17int how could anyone here have 18!

The greatest acrobat in the world has around 16 dex. It is impossible for anyone to have above 15 in two stats!

My stats are:

STR:9
DEX:11
CON:9
INT:13
WIS:11
CHA:11
