i was wondering what everybody's opinions were on rough conversions from sr attributes to real life quantifiers (ie IQ). Now i know some cant be quantified so easily, so maybe give an example for them (charisma). I also know that they are pretty loose ratings (charisma being looks and attitude etc.)
i want to know because me and my friends wanted to have a campaign where we tried to play ourselves, but we want some sort of standards for attributes and skills. Assume that the total maximum for humans is 9 (for very exceptional human beings, no just olympiads but legends) and no adept abilities/edges/magic etc. i understand that flames can develop (you think you are a Int 7 because you scored that on the SAT/IQ?! you are so full of it!) please avoid them though, just put in your input and allow us a group (DSers and out gaming group) to weed out the BullShit. I was thinking it might be easy to get some ratings in relative terms using the following, since we have all been tested/can be tested these ways: str-bench press, other excercise with weights int-iq or sat charisma-compared to hollywood star (using the public persona) both sexes plz willpower- maybe a list of easily imagined tests? bod- size/fitness, giving relatives for both quickness- 40 time and relative agility and/or dexterity (juggling, acrobatics, whatever) |
