Joe Schmoe, statistics and what's average.

Using that logic... Aasimar, Tieflings, Dwarves, Drow, Elves, Orcs and such would have different physiologies and 'other' power influences that could enhance their strength above the norm without deforming them into mutations of mass... Humans may be bound by these laws though... But if you think about a strong farmer, with very thin muscles, they tend to be more dense and taut than a bodybuilder... In fact, I've seem average sized 'country boys' lift as much as a bodybuilder simply because they are 'working' muscles whereas bodybuilders have 'sculpted muscles'

Some of the buffed chicks are hawt tho.... maybe some of the 18's look ok... but mainly 16-12 are rawr... 16 b, d, h, and i... yeah... my girlfriend just hit me... hahaha...

Also, it says Sune has 24 str.. wouldnt she be all buffed up and ugly?

Fantasy tends to hide unsightly muscles on pretty ppl with the use of mystical str! Str derived from divine or other-worldly sources (like a thin vampire throwing you across the room)

But yeah, unless you have something backing it up...your gonna look like an ugly body-builder...

18F is Korah

[undeadsteak]

right around 14 I got scared ><.

[CrimsonTears]

If you consider 20 is humanly impossible, 18 being the top limit of regular human capabilities (not considering the heroic PCs), include a -2 adjustment to the 18 and 20 pics 18 strength is hideous like "20B" and "20D" on a female.

Im scared now. . . somebody hold me

[OzmaDarkheart]

20Str women make my eyes bleed....and my soul.....

[Grigori]

20D is going to give me nightmares for a week...

[GodBeastX]

Alright, I took time out of my busy schedule to make a visual chart for you all. I included only even numbers of str for your ease of browsing. 10 Str is how you all imagine yourselves in the game. The rest is likely how it would be.
I tried to find some of the women not flexing since that makes the muscle more defined.

Soooooo anyone else think this thread has gone on for way too long, with way too many disturbing images in it? That could just be me talking, but still.....

[undeadsteak]

I agree with ya, GBX. Of course, I have about 14-16 STR in RL.

It kinda sets things in perspective

Also, about the wohle sunite thingie and being kicked out of an order because they're ugly... Isn't that striving towards the whole principle of the God?

I'm not entirely sure, but last time I checked, Sune was the one seeking beauty in all things, even inner beauty. So if people suddenly "got" ugly, they wouldn't be kicked out.

I seem to recall some sunite priest in the Avatar series, who started out shallow and beautiful, then somehow got a freaking large scar in the face, turning "ugly", and thinking his life was over because he could not serve Sune anymore. It was then first that he truly learned to appreciate the Dogma of Sune, because his heart, and love to Sune was beautiful, or something like that...

Point is, when he turned physically ugly, he learned that Sune was not about physical beauty, but beauty of all things.

/endhijack.

Dogma: Beauty is more than skin deep, say the Sunites; it issues form the core of one's being and shows one's fair (or foul) face to the world.

Thats part of the dogma.... Thats what they believe.

I'm sure someone said the same thing within 1 year of the release of the first D&D too *shrugs*

Not on this thread.
