Stat an IRL celebrity!

[Grynning]

So, the D&D stat yourself thread was turning into the standard argument about scores, so I'm going to try and deflect it with something else fun.

Basically, pick someone well known, and stat them as a 3.5 D&D character. Let's stick with a 25 point buy, mostly core/complete material and a level cap of around 10th.

So, to kick it off, in memoriam of the Prince of Pop:

Michael Jackson

Level 6 non-spellcasting Bard.

Str 10
Dex 14
Con 10
Int 12
Wis 10
Cha 16

Feats: Skill Focus (Perform: Singing), Skill Focus (Perform: Dance), Persuasive, Leadership (he did have very devoted fans around the world)

Edit: Added the level up stat point.

[Alteran]

Level 6 non-spellcasting Bard.

Really? I'd probably peg him as a necromancer.

Or maybe a rogue?

[Froogleyboy]

Non-spellcasting!?! He's very magical

oh yeah, add on the ''Corpse'' template

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Vile Feat: Deformity Skin and Vile Feat: Deformity Nose.

Not to mention... other possible Vile feats.

[Demons_eye]

William wallace, Scottish knight

Level 6

Babarian2/fighter4

Str:16
Dex:13
Con:14
Int:13
Wis:10
Cha:14

Woot scotland

[Malicte]

Billy Mays

Medium Object (Corpse)
Hardness 1
Hit Points: 20


Also, wasn't there some alternate bard class feature or something in Dragon Mag. that made the bard debuff instead of buff? I think maybe Michael Jackson should probably have that.

William wallace, Scottish knight

Level 6

Babarian2/fighter4

Str:16
Dex:10
Con:14
Int:8
Wis:8
Cha:14

Woot scotland

I'd say a bit different. He was actually very intelligent, and used guerrilla tactics, so I'd say a higher Dex than 10 as well.

[Demons_eye]

Having a low score does not mean your stupid. He could be smart to use those tactics but he does not know advance math.

[DamnedIrishman]

Having a low score does not mean your stupid. He could be smart to use those tatics but he does not know advance math.

Actually, having a low intelligence does mean you're stupid. He'd have to be smart (fairly high int) to use those tactics, but that doesn't mean he knows advanced math (as he wasn't taught it).

10-11 in any stat is the human average. An int of 8 means a person is quite stupid.

[Demons_eye]

Ok if you say so. But I see it that so long as you got int you can learn and If I was him I learn to hurt them hard fast.

[yilduz]

Ok if you say so. But I see it that so long as you got int you can learn and If I was him I learn to hurt them hard fast.

The ability to learn, and being taught are different. Intelligence is the former, I believe.

[Tengu_temp]

Various tactical feats require 13 intelligence - I think it's a good assumption William Wallace had at least that. An idiot does not become a successful military leader.

[Orran]

25 point buy seems a bit low, its good for Joe average, but we're statting some of the most famous and great people that ever lived, it makes sense their ability scores would be better.

[Demons_eye]

As I said if you say so.

[Dixieboy]

I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed.

But I'm probably wrong, as always.

Paris Hilton
Level 3 Aristocrat

Str 9
Dex 13
Con 10
Int 3
Wis 4
Cha 14

Feats: Skill Focus: Perform (Be A Spoiled Brat On Camera)

(She rolled her stats. That's the only reason her Int is as high as it is. )

[An Enemy Spy]

Unless you're Custer

[yilduz]

Unless you're Custer

Custer was not an idiot, he was arrogant. He didn't plan and he didn't scout. Maybe low wisdom, but I wouldn't say low intelligence.

edit: damn my job... "Custer" and "Customer" are very close when it comes to spelling... and I type the latter several times every day, it just kind of happened.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Paris Hilton
Level 3 Aristocrat

Str 9
Dex 13
Con 10
Int 3
Wis 4
Cha 14

Feats: Skill Focus: Perform (Be A Spoiled Brat On Camera)

(She rolled her stats. That's the only reason her Int is as high as it is. )

From what I've seen, her dex and con should be a tad higher * nudge nudge, wink wink*

I don't want to invoke Godwin's Law here, but not everybody who will be (or is) remembered has done good things with their life.

[Draz74]

Hell, he was mostly plastic even when alive.

so, Construct Type?

[Maerok]

I'll get this out of the way now...

Chuck Norris
Gestalt two Pun-Pun builds together

[DamnedIrishman]

I don't want to invoke Godwin's Law here, but not everybody who will be (or is) remembered has done good things with their life.

ARGH! Godwin's Law states:

"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches"

First of all, we're not on Usenet. However, it is commonly taken to refer to any discussion on the internet or elsewhere. It's still wrong: what you mean, is "I don't want to use Reduction ad Hitlerum here, but..."

Invoking Godwin's Law doesn't make any sense! Even if you were to invoke it, it wouldn't mean using Nazis in an analogy, it would mean "as this discussion gets longer, it becomes more likely somebody will reference the Nazis".

[/rant]

[Demons_eye]

I don't want to invoke Godwin's Law here, but not everybody who will be (or is) remembered has done good things with their life.

If people learn form that and dont do things that may or may not invoke godwin's law then yes. I would hope people have learned that another atomic bomb is bad for ex.
