If you have 200pts to alloacate between str, dex, int, what set resembles to you IRL?
I think I am a
60str
70dex
70int

Being an all around average guy has pros and cons I think.
Pros is that I have something to say about any subject. But then when I meet an expert on a particular subject, the expert will show me up.

Essentially I want to be a renaissance man, but I am beginning to feel I am turning into a half ass-ed man.

What about body, charisma, and willpower? Essence isn't reduced until you start getting some cyberware.

Str - 40
Dex - 60
Int - 100

I should get extra intelligence points for not starting stupid threads. Although I probably lose some for responding.

After almost 3 decades of D&D I can't adapt to your primitive attribute system. Gimmie the 3-18 scale 6 attrib and I'd be happy to reply.

But who the hell rolled for your stats when you were born? Fate has a d20, 3d6, d8, and d100?

Meh.

STR - 80
DEX - 30
INT - 90

EDIT: Wait, are you asking us which resembles us the best or which would we choose? If the latter...

STR - 0
DEX - 0
INT - 200

:cool:

It's just that, sad as it may be, my gamers and I would do this from time to time (create ourselves as characters transported to the game in question). Geeky, yes, but after so much of it we developed a sense of how the numbers translate to real world abilities so it's easy for me to use.

For instance the 3d6 bell curve is roughly proportional to the intelligence curve, allowing a simple measure of intelligence x 10 = iq (it breaks down somewhat at the highs and lows). In 2ned there's a strength chart as well, based on bench press or military press. *shrug* I think I need to go do something ungeeky now.
