Joe Schmoe, statistics and what's average.

[undeadsteak]

. . . Well, we aren't being forced to roleplay our chars as huge freaks, so its fine with me.

*Sniffs*


I'd do her...

[Gurkak]

wo




The woman on the far right is a 14-15 strength or so. That's if your character is very skinny. Lack of body fat as you can see.. super imposes musculature.

For anyone who actually cares to have statistics show anyway..

[undeadsteak]

yup, i dont think it would really show. *shrugs again.*

[Sathayorn]

Shes got a 14 right? Not too much to worry about.

[undeadsteak]

lol, Syl can be a bit muscled, i dont care, but im not going to make her bulging. Oh, and i'd think Divine champions would get different stuff based on their deity and i dont think NwN 2 puts everything in there. *shrug.*

[Sathayorn]

*cringes* Actually, that would be if the class granted strength, like with RDD. otherwise it really is just your physical attributes, but as it was stated before, no ones going to make a huge deal about it.

[undeadsteak]

Hey, Syl's also a divine champion, so her strength can come from divine strength, right?

[Sathayorn]

Shame, some people needed that reminder, don't like losing an arm wrestling match with someone one third my weight.

[Kaldaris]

Each time I attempt- the gregarious bunny rabbit foils me!

[undeadsteak]

all deleted, by a dm i suppose.

People do realize that being that muscular would actually look pretty grotesque on males too?

Entirely true, however, men are really stronger before looking grotesquely muscular. Disgustingly muscular male body builders are a lot stronger than disgustingly muscular female bodybuilders, exactly how much I am unsure of. For the most part the only characters that strong are half orcs, whom are ugly anyways. And then there is the occasional wood elf, though, wood elves are built for that as well.

Either way, this is page 5, wheres the quote of the hideous body builders?

[psycho1976]

Oh I vote for NOT allowing pictures of female body builders on the site ever again. My mind is still in shock from that!

To make it politically correct I also vote that pics of male body builders should not be shown Both look quite nasty! *shudders*

[psycho1976]

Personally I think some of the ponts given here are good. Having 18 or above in
STR should show and also would make it rather difficult to be agile like a cat.

Now when it comes to showing and so on, I say leave that up to the player. I find it a bit too heavy handed to say that you have to RP that the body is so and so.

My character has AGI of 14 (I think it was, can't remember) and STR of 16 (at lvl 5). I actually RP him as a bit clumsy in certain situations. Remember not everything is decided by how agile you are. How you bow for instance is just as much charisma if you ask me

Regarding the STR I described him as "muscular and trained" if I remember correctly. At my level most STR fighters would have such a strength, if not higher. According to the list on the start of the thread, he wouldn't be muscular, but a bloody He-man

So to conclude, why can't we just say drop the thinking that everyone has to be so realistic, but ALSO stop making their characters ballet dancers and next-gen He-men?

[Tassafina]

Yup, but who cares about males.. >>

hehe true :P

Though here is a links of ugly guys, though the woman on the bottoms even worse than the ones GodbeastX posted

For me I will suspend realism and will view it as magical given
