There has been alot of talk about how useless Garrick is because of his horrible stats, and of how much of a coward Khalid is. Which got me thinking...could I do any better than them? So I decided to find a way to put my stats down on paper. I'd encourage other people to try to. It certainly makes me more impressed by the NPCs that I used to somewhat look down upon.
As a reference, I used two tests: http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/terragf/back/xstattest.html
Str: 11
Dex: 10
Con: 12
Int: 17
Wis: 11
Cha: 14

Dex 12
Con 12
Int 17
Wis 12
Cha 13
For the sake of my own ego, I'd go with the latter.![;)]( ";)")
Compare my stats to Garrick.
Str 14 (+1 vs me)
Dex 16 (+4 vs me)
Con 9 (-3 vs me)
Int 13 (-4 vs me)
Wis 14 (+2 vs me)
Cha 15 (+2 vs me)
His dex blows mine out of the water. He's stronger than me. Give him a crossbow and he's ok in the back ranks, so his low con isn't much of an issue. As a bard, he's got a good lore score, and he's got a pretty high charisma.
And to compare classes...my guess is that I'd be a fighter/mage. Because I'm a lawyer who is in the national guard. For proficiency points, the D&D equivalent of what I'd have would probably have to go into crossbows and maybe daggers. And yes, my dex score is about right for when it comes to shooting. I qualified with my rifle, but it wasn't easy. I'd pretty much need the gauntlets of 18 dex to be usable, and even then it'd just be as a mage/crossbow user.
The point of all of this? By trying to put myself into their shoes, it just goes to show how extraordinary the majority of NPCs are. And it makes me all the more appreciative of guys like Garrick, who I identify with all the more now.
