Real World Stats in Ravenloft?

[AdamGarou]

This may have already been done to death, but as I'm sometimes absent from these boards for as long as a month at a time, I can't be sure. I got this idea after reading Desdichado's response about being a monk/sage on the "What Domain Would You Want to Live In" thread, so this is sort of a spin-off of that one.

What do you--the real-world you--translate to in Ravenloft (or MotRD)?

I'm no monk, or ranger (no real martial arts skills beyond VERY basic self-defense, and ZERO woodcraft)... maybe a 3rd-level commoner with proficiencies in basic melee weapons (bat, ASP, etc.).

Combining 2e and 3e, I might have a few levels as a sage (literature, drama, rhetoric, history in certain areas), and I shoot competitively so I might have a level or three in the Pistoleer prestige class.

What about the rest of you? Be honest (and yes, optimistically honest is okay), and we'll learn a little more about the others who share this cozy little cafe with us.

Funny idea.

I guess I would be a Exp (? level) in my field of work (site location studies for retail stores), plus a lot of ranks in superficial survival skills such as Craft (cooking, any), Knowledge (wine, food of the world lore, pool and BBQ party, literature & comics); and I would have lens of speed reading.

Personaly I would be a low level no magic Bard with 7+ ranks in Craft (Rhymes), Craft (Parody), Craft (Curses) and Knowlege (Random trivia).

[Jester of the FoS]

Low level expert with skill points scattered about between Profession (Writer), Knowledge (D&D), Knowledge (Comics), Computer Use, and a myriad other things.
High Int, low Wis, below-average physical stats and charisma that varies on my mood.

[Igor the Henchman]

2nd level Expert or Intellectual, depending on rules used. Intelligence 14 or 15, judging by the two extra starting languages. Skills would probably go into languages, Knowledge (history), Knowledge (Roleplaying Lore) and Profession (DM). Low physical stats.

[Dr Bloodworth]

Ravenloft - Just a commoner with little or no martial or athletic ability, but prob with a fairly high INT. And lotsa skill points, spent mostly on Knowledge (history), Knowledge (RPGs), and Knowledge (mythology).

Masque - A tradesman with the same skills.

[Corrupted_Loremaster]

Hmm...if I had to be rather generous, I'd say maybe a 2nd or 3rd level rogue, focusing on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Gather Information, plus maybe a rank or two in Craft(Short Story) and Tumble. Featswise, Improved Unarmed Strike for certain, no real idea what else.

[Ivana_Boritsi]

Wait, wait.

I say that if you post what you would be in Ravenloft...you can't cop out and claim an NPC class from the DMG. No commoners, no experts, etc. Why? Because most people here would be experts!

I mean, a typical accountant or student isn't a "fighter." But I think it would be cooler to see what class best fit your personality. If you were forced to take up adventuring, what would you be?

Me? I'd be a sorceress.

[tec-goblin]

Of course we would be experts. I would be commoner/expert 2 with knowledge (informatics) some knowledge (business) and good diplomacy.

In d20 modern I would be a charismatic 1/smart 1 probably with Computer Use about +7, Knowledge (business) +4 etc...

If I was an adventurer, there is no other choice than bard!

[Dr Bloodworth]

Wait, wait.

In that case, I'd be a druid or ranger.

My real-life stats.

My game stats...wizard all the way!

[Cole Deschain]

The real me?

One level of ranger. (Live in the woods, can track fairly well, know local plant and animal life)
One or two levels of expert (Graduated college)
Two levels of bard. (Theatre major, combined with a good singing voice)
One level of fighter, with, under the accursed 3E rules, the "Improved Unarmed Strike" feat (I'm pretty good, but a monk class would be pushing it) (Arnis, my pride and joy)


If I were to become an adventurer? Ranger/Sorceror.

[JinnTolser]

Real life... it's probably something like Monk 1 / Expert 2 with ranks in such helpful skills as Knowledge (D&D) and Knowledge (Star Wars), though I would also have a few in Diplomacy and Sense Motive. For ability scores, I'd probably have a Str 9, Dex 12, Con 10, Int 15 or maybe a bit higher, Wis 14 and Cha of 8, maybe even a little lower.

If I lived in the Demiplane and took up adventuring, I'd lean toward Ranger.
