You can blame Cogitationes Astalnaris for todays post. It's one of those online questionnaire thingos with a D&D twist. Must say it pulled an unexpected result for me though! Just for fun I put up what came second for some categories in italics.
I Am A: Neutral Good Gnome Ranger (4th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-17
Constitution-10
Intelligence-11
Wisdom-16
Charisma-12
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Runners up both by one point were Lawful Good and True Neutral, which are nowhere near similar.
Race:
Gnomes are in wide demand as alchemists, inventors, and technicians, though most prefer to remain among their own kind in simple comfort. Gnomes adore animals, gems, and jokes, especially pranks. They love to learn by personal experience, and are always trying new ways to build things. Gnomes stand 3 to 3.5 feet tall and live about 350 to 500 years.
In second place was the Human race. Guess they just don't live long enough?
Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.
There was no other class that scored remotely close to my Ranger score!

Sorry, but I just find this funny. The idea of a gnome ranger just seems to silly that I can't stop but laughing at the idea. And yet I feel like making one next time I play a D&D CRPG. That or a gnome paladin!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the ideal pet/familiar a gnome ranger would have.... hmm I think... a GIANT SPACE HAMSTER! :D
DeleteThose exist by the way. In Spell Jammer. They power the ships... o_o
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. :P
ReplyDeleteI hope you put your hand on your heart while bowing as you said that. Just kidding. It's good post fodder! ^_^
