LoL :) Well,umm,actually no,but I am a bit taller than average,my voice's a bit "thief-like"(think MALE002 from BG2,or HoW_Male_3 from Heart of Winter) and my skin's somewhat pale,must be cause I spend so much time locked up in a room fighting some imaginary monsters instead of going out in the sun :)

Well according to the test, I'm neutral Good. Yea, seems right.

As for stats:

S- 15 (I work out somewhat)
D- 18 (Flexible and have very quick reflexes)
C- 14 (Able to fend of colds with a single cold tablet)
I- 14 (A minor in social psychology)
W- 12 (I'd like to say I'm wise, but theres still too much I don't know)
C- 14 (No James dean, but I'm alright)

So, I'd most likely be... An archer. I have a love for nature and the great outdoors so it seems fitting. :)

Hmmm, an honest account of my stats. Ok...

Gender: Male
Species: Human (Or perhaps a more comely than average Half-Orc :eek: )
Class: Stalker (Has the right blend of subterfuge and outdoorsmanship with just a touch of wizardry thrown in. Meshes quite well with my outlook and Alaskan rearing)
Alignment: Neutral Good

Strength 14 (I try to stay in good shape but I’m no Mr. Universe)
Dexterity 16 (I’m exceptionally agile)
Constitution 18 (Despite some skiing mishaps and other painful incidents I’ve never been seriously injured and seldom get sick)
Intelligence 16 (I tested at genius level I.Q. but I’m not all knowing.)
Wisdom 13 (Fairly good but I still have a lot to learn)
Charisma 8 (I’m not physically unattractive just painfully shy)

Ok, let's give this a shot, shall we?

Gender: (i'll have to check back on this one, good people)
Race: Human (none of the other freak races could possibly reflect reality)
Class: Enchanter
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

STR: 7
DEX: 8
CON: 15
INT: 17
WIS: 14
CHA: 13

And I would advise any and all who consider taking the "iq-test" suggested previously not to do so. If you're really that curious about your actual IQ, contact a professional psychologist to measure it. Or Mensa for that matter. :cool:

Hell, I might as well have a go, but these stats will likely be a load o' bull. Never mind...

Gender: Male
Race: Human (would have been a half-elf, since I'm 5" 9, but I'm too broad for that ;) )
Alignment: Chaotic Good (even if the test said otherwise)
Class: Dual classed thief/fighter

Stats:
Strength - 12 (I've been told I'm strong, but I'm only 14, so it couldn't really be any higher)
Dexterity - 14 (Excellent reactions, good hand-eye coordination but below average agility)
Constitution - 11 (Slightly above average I think, but I've really not much of an idea about this)
Intelligence - 15(No idea what IQ is, but IQ tests are completely balls anyway. I'm a good reasoner)
Wisdom - 15 (Good common sense)
Charisma - 8 (Not very popular, and I'm not exactly an oil painting... Mind you, I can be okay with words at times)
:)

Here's my rather strange view of myself... you CRPG minmaxers should notice that the character abilities are based on pen-and-paper AD&D regulars.

Race: Gray Elf (from the book "skills and powers" from TSR. Purple-gray skin, silver hair, amber eyes)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral with tendencies towards Good

Class/lvl: Level 11 Wizard/level 4 cleric of Oghma

Stats:
STR 11 (a bit weaker that regular)

DEX 15

CON 10 (well, I get winded easily and cannot withstand much physical damage. Besides, I'm a bit frail of structure)

INT 16 (Studying organic chemistry, getting my Ph.D. papers in some years. And yes, I'm under 25.)

WIS 16 (I own a large amount of common and less common knowlegde and therefor must answer other peoples' idiotical questions, aaargh!)

CHA 14 (Even if I'm a bit eremitic, my social skills are quite good. I have a lot of experience about [mis-]leading :rolleyes:
people using my words)

Rofl, this is funny :)

If we can be ANY BG2 character/class/race, I assume 'monster types' are not out?

Gender: Female
Class: Naiad (I never have actually seen a Naiad in BG2, just Sirines and Dryad's..., but I suppose it's a similar thing).

As to stats, I wont' really need them besides the naturals bestowed by this race.. I'll be happily swimming in the ocean, occasionally coming out to charm local fishermen, no dungeon crawling for me. :)
*thinks happily of the warm Faerun days* ;)

I'm mystified about why people have so much trouble giving themselves or others high stats.

One of the previous posts was clearly confused when they said "An 18 intelligence is one in a million..." Obviously this is bunk.

If the "world" of AD&D is populated by people generated using 3d6 rolls for stats, an 18 intelligence pops up every 6*6*6=216 persons. That means there are a few 18 intelligence people in the average suburban high school.

If you use slighly modified methods for creating characters/people for a world (4d6, throw away low roll) the probability increases even more.

I feel quite comfortable saying that there are probably a few 18's on the board somewhere, a scattering of 17's, way more 15-16's, etc.

What really whacks the odds is multiple high stats, like 18 intelligence, 17 dexterity, 18 charisma...very very rare.

BTW by AD&D standards a "typical" NBA player would be something like: 18 dex, 15 con, 15 str. (relevant stats). 18 dex is one every 216 after all...and quickness is in such demand in the NBA, and there are so few few players that make it to the pros even physically...Iverson, by the way, would be a freakish Dexterity/quickness of 20 or something!

I don't know what the official line is on 18s for stats, but, hey, I'm a lot smarter than Imoen or Nalia, so I must be an 18. There's no reason to take this topic seriously (although I am undoubtedly the most intelligent person on them here formus).

Because of its role in spellcasting, int has to involve long-term memory and ability to concentrate in addition to reasoning skills or sheer genius.

well, i'd say that most people how actually think they have such high overall attributes in real life would be a bit low on their Wisdom (not knowing their own limitations)

Well... since I tested out as neutral good (which is something I was already aware of) it rules out monk and paladin for me. I think I would be something like:
Half-elf (it would be human but I have excellent night vision and I don't require a lot of sleep)
Neutral good
mage, cleric or druid. probably cleric
my stats would be along the line of:
str-14 (not super strong but I can handle myself)
dex-9 (don't talk to me about good reflexes)
con-17 or 18 (I never get sick, been in the hospital only twice in my life, one for when I was born)
int-14 or 15 (I like to think of myself as intelligent)
wis-15 (I'm a venerable cornicopia of insight, very good at examining things from an objective pov)
cha-9 or 10 (the average shmoe)

I'd be a theif or something because I'm lazy as hell and I'll do anything to avoid real work.

str----10
dex----9
con----12
int----13
wis----5(I'm a 15 year old and virgin. what did you expect?)
cha----3

As you can see I'm below average, if anything...I wish we had the IQ test in crappy Canada so I'd know how I rank in int.

I do okay in school, but considering the fact that I don't so any work I'd say I'm pretty smart.

Bio: EVIl bastard, couldnt trust me if your life depended on it, come to think of it I'm probably the most dangerous thing for you to come across. Would kill u, your mom, and your sister if i met you and would loot your house while i'm at it. Enjoy pain and misery and get sick satisfaction out of raising skeletons and siccing them on little children. If you met me you better hit me first or you won't have a second chance.
