I was recently reminded by wife'e excellent piano playing that that I'm not really talented at anything. I can do a few things, but really can't do anything extremely well. That got me thinking. How would I like to improve myself? So, in a bid for the geekiest topic here's the game. Suppose you were a D&D character with your 6 attributes and you were offered 4 points to add to your attributes, how would you spend the points.
For the less geeky, the attributes are:
Strength
Dexerity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma
I would spend 2 on Dexerity so that I could be skilled at something. 1 on Consistution because living a little longer would be nice. And, 1 on Charisma because I don't have much. |

3 on intelligence, 1 on dexterity.
This is the geekiest topic ever, but once you get past the geekiness, it's a bit cool.
Darwin, what does "charisma" mean to you? I looked at it as just a simple matter of knowing what to say and when and how to say it. |

| Charisma to me is being charming and attractive. Lucky with the ladies and a pal to the guys. |

Hehe! And I thought I was the only weirdo in the board...
I would take 3 on Charisma and 1 on Dexterity. I'm quite happy with my other current attributes.

Ah, I like this, it brings back memories.
[cheat]
Can you convert the points into money? (If I had lots of money, I wouldn't need charisma, and I would certainly care less about lacking the other attributes.)
[/cheat]
If not, I'll take 2 on Intelligence and 2 on Wisdom. Points spent on the other ones would be wasted without those 2.

I'd take one point each for Dexterity, Charisma, Wisdom and Constitution. If I had to lump all four points on one attribute it would be Charisma.
That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

no!!.. squandering all on intelligence and wisdom will just make you more painfully aware of your lack of strength, dexterity, constitution or charisma.. that's no way to win a rpg!!
I'd like all four on spells and potions, please
and the cheating suggestion reminded me of that (chinese?) proverb about teaching someone to catch a fish

Nobody likes oozy charisma. How are you going to spend your points? |

I'll take two on strength and two on dexterity. If I got anymore charming it would hurt. Ditto wise and intelligent.

Constitution: I might blow all four points here because the U.S. Constitution is about to be decimated by Bush's two Supremes.
Intelligence: No wait, all four here and pronto, seeing what a fine mess I have made of my life.

Too bad there's no Humility attribute. :P
Really, I could use more of all these things. I think I'll give myself one point each in strength and charisma, and two in wisdom. Since I suspect my current charisma score is negative, though, I might just be bringing it up to zero, and hence wasting it.
