what D&D character am i?

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Cleric (3rd Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-12
Dexterity-16
Constitution-13
Intelligence-15
Wisdom-14
Charisma-13

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 because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed at being human. =/

I wish more games would present clerics similar to those of the first Neverwinter Nights. A cleric would select so many spells of each level from a wide variety of options, then would select two "domains" of magic to customize his spellbook with. So one cleric might specialize in Death magic and Animal magic while another might specialize in Water magic and Sun magic. I really despise most MMO class skill systems for making players so similar to one another.

4-point meme

I've been avoiding this for some time, but now I can use it to delay the real article until tomorrow. =)


Four jobs I have had in my life:
-- grunt-work do-anything slave at a small oil company (relaxed job, cool and intelligent people)
-- Home Depot lumber associate ("lumber" officially, but sometimes I ran 3 departments, two of which I knew nothing about)
-- Hollywood Video manager (if any job will make you hate people in general, this is it)
-- builder of patios, decks, pergolas, etc (working out in the sun's great if you can do it at your own pace)

Four Movies I have watched over and over:
Patton
Fierce Creatures
The Hunt for Red October
The Ghost and the Darkness

Four places I have lived:
Spring, Texas (nearly all my life)
San Antonio, Texas
Slidell, Louisiana (I was born in New Orleans)
Mobile, Alabama (some summers)

Four Places I have been on vacation:
London (cool town)
Rome (not so cool)
Ireland (my favorite)
Perdido Key, Florida (formerly home to my grandparents' beachhouse)

Four of my favorite foods:
fried alligator
a juicy T-bone steak
beef fajitas
mint chocolate-chip ice cream

Four favorite drinks:
Barq's root beer
sweet tea
coffee
the leftover milk after a bowl of cereal

Blog tips meme

I think this is the second meme that I've been tagged for. Normally, I hate anything like a chain-letter, but these memes are actually pretty useful. Both times, I've found new blogs to read (as if I keep up with them all already) and found out about another person who reads mine (another whip cracking at my back).

Anyway. So in this one, you add your own bit of blogging advice and star the advice you like. I don't think enough people read my blog for my advice to count for much, but here goes.

Yeah, I should take my own advice, right? =P

The last meme I let die with me, but I suppose I'll tag Chas, Heather, and Sara. I finally get to return the favor.
