Who are you!?

[Jesen]

I was at work today, pretty bored. I started thinking, if DDO could be converted to RL(Yes I know I play too much) what kind of character would I fit?
This is not how I would like to be, but by trying to match my own abilities to a build I could make with DnD rules.

After some thought, I came up with straight rogue.

The reasons for this were:
I am thin and small framed guy, but also very athletic(Rock climbing is a passion of mine) - High Dex, Jump, Balance
I can manage to bull**** my way out of a lot of situations - Bluff/Diplomacy
I have a knack for avoiding hurting myself when things don't go as planned - Evasion
I pickup new skills quickly - UMD/Lore
I love to tinker with new toys often pulling them apart just to put them back together - Disable device/Open lock
My eye sight is very good - Spot/Search
I rock at hide and seek! - Take your best guess

So thats how I think I would fit into DnD, how do you fit? Feel free to use any rule set have some fun with the idea, spell casters are an option so be creative!

I love threads like this one! I started one myself in the Off-Topic forum a long time ago, but it got buried.

As for myself translated to RL:

The final choice was made to be Bard/Fighter multiclass.

I have a background in music and I also have a degree in creative writing -- music and story-telling abilities for the Bard levels.

My confusion came with regard to the D&D rules. I have a brown belt in Aikido and have dabbled in Tae Kwon Do and a few other martial arts. I also have an obsession with all things Asian. I wanted to list myself and Bard/Monk multiclass but it just doesn't work with the game rules here, so I gave in and figured Bard/Fighter instead. Monks are lawful and Bards are always chaotic, you see, so a conflict arises with my RL build.

It isn't like I'm at a temple learning Aikido. Although if my life allowed and I could fit that in, it would rock!

Cool thread!

Its hard for me to come up with a DDO version of me in real life, as I have no class.

If you ask me I´m a Human Paladin 8 Fighter 7 Wizard 1; Plenty Arcane Spell Failure of course even though I´m using +5 Twilight Mithril Fullplate of SR 19 (Family Heirloom) and prefer Greatswords.


If you´d ask my wife I´d probably be a WF Evasion(Specialized in Wife Aggro Evasion) Paladin with some Fighter feats, and my choice of weapons would be blunt like my attitude.

So I figure Paladin 11 Rogue 3 Fighter 2 with Mauls and Warhammers as preferred weapons.

By default I am a Dwarf Wizard. I have no charisma, no athletic talent to speak of. Just another short slow ugly white boy with no jump shot! OTOH, every IQ test I ever took says I could join Mensa if I wanted to, so on the theory that a high IQ equals talent as a mage, I am a Wizard specialising in illusion (since my career has been in the law). What I REALLY want for RL though, is Jedi powers! Screw spells, I want influence over the weak-minded, plus a light saber.

Dude, if your as smart as you say,...you should be able to influence the weak minded by now.

And regarding the Lightsaber....get a flashlight.

I couldn´t say it better.

(of course if it was I that caused this reaction....you don´t understand my humour)

To the OP: Great thread, to me just another way of having fun without logging in!

My Profession is Nursing,

So, I'd be a Cleric.

oh man thats the best ever, what are the stats on your build. I may have to reroll myself.

[scampb]

I would be a Dwarf barbarian. Not that I am short by any means but i have the stalky build so I look just like my toon on DDO. 'Rage' fits my temper of yester year and I used to be quite a brute. Oh the memories. Love this post.

[Milolyen]

Always have been and always will be a ranger.

I am a good shot with both Bow and Gun along with being able to hold my own in a fight. I love the outdoors and you don't wanna F*** with me in the woods.

An Overwieght human bard/wizard. Yeah, I coulda joined Mensa, too!. I would have a very low CON score (like 6) and decent CHA score will alot of points in CUstomer Service(cuz every seems to like me, weird!) I would speciallized in the school of trivia and Master of Jeopardy! My knowledge skills would be through the roof, like history and Useless Information. My background as a band nerd gives me a level or two of Bard. My stargazing skills also would give me a Divination school boost.

[cdbd3rd]

Rogue.

With equal splashes of Druid and Ranger.


As for the alignment issue.... Rogue.

[sumnz]

I'm Batman.

My Profession is Nursing,

...or an assassin?

I've experienced some nurses over the years that were pretty nasty with a needle.

I was at work today, pretty bored. I started thinking.....

...and THAT is where the danger lies.



Sorry. Tried to resist, but it was just sitting there begging to be prodded.

I'd be an intemperate gnome soothsayer spending hours each day huddled in my secret room peering into my magic crystal....
