What is your RPG Stats

I’ve wanted to play some RPG a lot lately, but with everything else I already have going on, it’s one of those things listed under “I’ll get to one day.” But I saw this on Twitter (and Scalzi himself even posted his ranking on his blog yesterday), and I figured a couple of writer buddies (Josh Smith, Josh Hardt, and Liberty Hardt) would enjoy this. So, what is your RPG stats ranked from 1 thru 6…? Mine are below!


1- Charisma 

I like to be in charge, and I like my ideas to be the ones everyone agrees with. This could be good or bad. I would make a great cult leader. 

2-Dexterity 

I have decent reflexes and I’m pretty agile when I need to be. I feel like this should come in at number two. 

3- Wisdom

I feel like I’m pretty perceptive and have a pretty good tune with the world around me. 

4- Constitution 

I could easily swap this out with number three and probably should, but they are sort of even. I’m not tough in the rugged masculine way, but I have a high level of endurance. I can go for several hours and often have difficulty stopping to take a break when I’m in the middle of something. 

5- Strength

Okay, definitely on the low side. I don’t have a stunning physical appearance. And while I’m in decent shape, if you need me to move a tree on our path to fight a horde of Orcs, I’m not your guy. 

6- Intelligence 

I don’t have a high level of intelligence. I’m a common sense guy and I have an average level of smarts. But if you need someone to do trig on our quest, you’re out of luck.

I’d be curious to hear how others rank themselves. Comment below and let me know

  1. Being a D&D geek, I’ve thought of this quite a bit. My rankings are below:

    Charisma: 16. I’m most definitely a bard!
    Intelligence: 15. I’m no slouch when it comes to smarts. But I’m not a math guy!
    Dexterity and Wisdom: 14. I’m quick for a fat guy and have a lot of common sense
    Constitution and Strength: 10. I’m in ill health and have little upper body strength.

    There you go!

  2. The cool thing about D&D stats is that normal average is 10. So anything over is something unique to you. When creating a 5e character, there’s a normal set of numbers to use, so I’ll use those and give you my character 🙂

    Strength – 10
    Dexterity – 12
    Constitution – 8
    Wisdom – 14
    Intelligence – 13
    Charisma – 15

    Most days I feel that I get by with understanding the situation and being able to relate to about everyone. I’m a charismatic IT dad, who shoots guns, and watches before acting.
