Regarding some of my recent posts and ability scores, here's an idea.
Let's take some fictional characters and assign their Strength scores by the Classic D&D scale.
Score 3 Mod -3
Score 4-5 Mod -2
Score 6-8 Mod -1
Score 9-12 Mod 0
Score 13-15 Mod +1
Score 16-17 Mod +2
Score 18 Mod +3
OK, so Hercules is an 18 on this scale. Stephen Hawking is a 3. 10 is your average Joe Schmoe. There are your goal posts.
Where would you put:
Conan (have to start with him)
Fafhrd
Aragorn
Elric (when not charged up on souls thanks to Stormbringer)
Lancelot
Bilbo Baggins
Sindbad the Sailor
Kikuchiyo (that would be Mifune in 7 Samurai)
Odysseus
Abraham Van Helsing (NOT the cheesy movie with Hugh Jackman)
Curious to see how everyone rates them.
Conan - 17
ReplyDeleteFafhrd - 17
Aragorn - 15
Elric - 7
Lancelot - 15
Bilbo Baggins - 7
Sindbad the Sailor - 13
Kikuchiyo - 13
Odysseus - 16
Abraham Van Helsing - 11

ReplyDeleteLet me see.
ReplyDeleteConan 17 (though one could argue 18 if Herc is 18/00)
Fafhrd 16
Aragorn 14
Elric 4
Lancelot 14
Bilbo Baggins 9
Sindbad the Sailor 13
Kikuchiyo - no idea
Odysseus 15
Abraham Van Helsing - seeing how I re-reading Dracula now, I give him a 9. He was more spry in his youth, but admits he is too old for that now (he is 50 in the book).
