Transported to Faerun. Wat do?

>>52630201
Well I do a fair bit of backpacking, rock climbing, and hobby-level blacksmithing, so I'd like to think my Str, Dex, and Con are at least 11. I've broken a leg and splinted it so I can hobble out of the woods, so I figure I'm slightly tough, though I'm not sure how that compares to people who have to fight hobgoblins every year. Add some ranks in medicine, craft(metalworking), climb, swim, survival, and junk like that.

It's been a while, but I've done some historical swordfighting and archery, so maybe whatever the NPC version of a ranger is? That'd be neat.

>>52630201
ask if there's any way i can go to a better setting

>>52630201
Does chemistry work the same here as it does on Earth? Not exactly a master chemist but I do know how to make blackpowder.

I abuse everything I can and get to level 40.

>>52630201
>Most of /tg/ anons have a 9 in all physical stats unless they train in a sport or do manual labor.
What if I'm just not a 5'7'' manlet? I only work out on and off, but based on maximum lifting capacity, my strength is 22.

>>52630201
>you are transported to faerun
>but I choose your stat

>>52630201
Alright, I can understand no-one on /tg/ having a bonus above +1 or +2 at the MOST, but capping Wis and Cha at 9 and 10 seems a bit harsh, ditto Int at 11. Yeah, most people are average, but some people have at least SOMETHING they excel at!

That said, I die in horrible agony days after arrival, unless some kind Ilmaterite can cast Cure Minor/Moderate Wounds and Cure Disease on me; half my pancreas is dead and I'm prone to pericarditis. I can't even digest food without enzyme replacers. Basically, any trip to a fantasy world is a death sentence for me now, accompanied by the most horribly crippling pain I've ever experienced.

I run and hike quite a lot so I'm in pretty good shape, I am pretty tall compared to the average of d&d humans, plus I got a fairly good grasp on chemistry, mechanics and metallurgy - at least theoretical - due to my masters degree in materials engineering.

I probably end up being some sort of alchemist.

>>52630290
You are halfway thorugh to gaining a fighter level and survival proficiency then.

>>52630297
You are sent to Tes V Skyrim and don't have acess to the lvl up/skill system or any magic.

>>52630324
You gain proficiency with the Alchemists set but it's only partial since the world works with magic as well.


>>52630331
Let's assume D&D5e.

----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd look up a local Martial Arts monastery and join up as a servant for the opportunity to learn, train and live safely.
After a decade i should be passable as a monk.

Either that or work as a fisherman while trying to earn cash from smugling and get my self some dragon blood along with the ritual to infuse my self with it.

>>52630344
You have a 13 in STR. Enjoy training with the local milita for your first fighter level.

>>52630354
>muh i'm a genious with photographic memory, can lift double my weight, am a metalurgy ingineer former marine with dig bick and seduce everything.

Anon, a 10 is the average stat of a healthy adult human being living in a world where farm work is necessary to feed one self.
Humans living in modern society may have higher inteligence on average compared to such societies but are gimped in almost all other areas.

>>52630201
>int doesnt go above 11
youre overestimating the int of faerun and underestimating the int of the real world
I know its not like /tg/ has a bunch of 18 int geniuses, but I could see at least 13 or 14s being common

It feels wrong to say this, but I would still play this game.

>gimped in almost all other areas.
This is not true. A lot of these farmers are probably sinewy and mentally hardy, but a malnourished four foot something peasant doesn't have shit against a 6'3'' dude who trains semi-regularly with a modern diet - something that would have been extremely rare in medieval times, but is fairly common now.

Modern humans should especially get a boost to constitution, excepting those who shower three times a day and live in near-sterile homes. Disgusting slobs like me who eat day-old mince meat on the reg and never wash our hands would be even higher.

>>52630201
I'm a ranger without the animal companion, I can shoot a gun, non-modern bows, and I know how to survive outdoors.

>>52630407
Go do a days worth of farm work and tell me how resilient you are compared to an old grandpa who's been doing it his whole life.

I'll tell you straight away. You won't be able to get up the next morning.

And i don't get where people get the ''malnourished medieval dirt farmer'' meme from.

>>52630420
After learning propper common you manage to land a job as a steward.
You are settled for life.

>>52630423
To you and all the other anons all i can say is that you should try and apprentice your selves to alchemists or find an institution that will take you under their wing like a church, a martial arts monastery , military order and such.

>>52630452
Congratulations on being an inferior elf commoner with a pet.
How will you earn a living?

>>52630201
Let's see, I guess I would try to join the carpenter guild since I've been in the woodworking business with my father and brother since childhood. Everything would take much longer to finish though since I'd have to use manual tools for everything. Might also need to introduce new carpentry tools and methods to the guild.

I also camp a lot, so lots of survival skills but plant life is different in Faerun I'll have to learn from a local herbalist the local plant lore.

In any case, a skilled craftsman of some sort of is likely with a side of specialization in survival.

>>52630454
farm work isnt that hard, I feel like youre overblowing every physical aspect of existing in a fantasy world

I WANT TO BE A FUCKING DRUID BECAUSE I LOVE ANIMALS AND OUTDOORS AND I JUST GO AROUND TALKING TO FUCKING ANIMALS AND SHIT

>>52630454
>Go do a days worth of farm work and tell me how resilient you are compared to an old grandpa who's been doing it his whole life.
Yeah I've done that every summer at my grandpa's farm since I'm 14. It's not hardcore. You're full of shit my man. I hiked 7h straight in the mountaind on saturday and I didn't felt terrible in the morning. Just because you are weak doesn't mean that a majority of people are.

>>52630454
Any chance of learning magic at all? If I can I'd try to become an Artificer. Make money off of that. Otherwise I'd stick with Alchemy.

I can OHP 225lbs, can I still have 9 STR and thus make every human commoner on Faerun able to OHP 225lbs?

dont most male human commoners in faerun actually have 12 or 13 str?

>>52630478
After learning common and working as a wood cutter at a local mill you join the carpenters guild after paying the fee and passing their examination.

You probably manage to make a good life for your self as a craftsman and repsected guild member.

>>52630497
Anon , most peole who browse 4chan aren't you and most civilians living in modern society are fed trash food and avoid physical labor while having no worthwile skills as craftsmen or physical fitness due to not taking care of their bodies.

Your effort and hobby while praiseworthy are one thing most modern people don't do and i believe you would have at least a 13 in Con and 12 or 11 in Str.

>>52630557
again, you are SEVERELY overestimating the strength stat

>>52630201
Make money by dancing on on a fucking postbox in just my skivvies. If it's a PvE world, I will troll the idiots in the bank and auction house.

How would gunsmithing work? Don't have the skill yet but I plan on taking some classes and getting certified.

>>52630512
You need one year to learn a cantrip.
3 Years to becomome a magic initiate.

>>52630512
You join the tinkerers guild after learning common.

>>52630533
Anon the asumption is that the average 4-chan poster doesn't take care of his or her body.
Crossboard posters from /fit/ are another thing when they actually do exercize.

>>52630557
>most civilians
mostly the poor and the older generations, lads are pretty it now desu

>>52630550
I think farmers have 11?

I have degrees in medicine and chemistry, that has to make me one of the best non-magical healers in the world. I don't know much about those Faerun herbs and plants but it couldn't be that much of a hard learn.

Guess I'll start a clinic in a town without a temple full of healing clerics or try and learn some magic. Don't think I'll go on any real adventures, I'm nearly completely sedentary and I'd break like a 2hp 1e wizard.

>>52630576
Congratulations on getting sent to Grimgar.

>>52630577
If you already learned the necessary metalurgy knowledge to get the high quality materials them sure.
You manage to join the tinkerers guild.

>>52630592
You become an apthecary after working for a few years as an apprentice.
You may have earned enough money to grab a few books on magic and got the magic initate feat.

>>52630201
I got my boots, do i get to keep whats in my pockets? In a typical day i got my leatherman a lighter and my gun

>>52630606

You know, you're severely undervaluing the stats stars of a common fa/tg/it. Inteligence, especially. INT, when compared to IQ (not really the best idea, but it's what we've got), we get pic related. I also imagine most of us will test in the 120+ range, which means we all have at least enough intelligence to be Wizards, or other INT based class.

Seriously anons.

At least one of you should have thought of becoming a warlock.

Becomming a Dragon sorcerrer is also relativley easy once you got enough money to get the materials.

>>52630492
You get lost in the woods and maybe if you are lucky are saved by a druid after you got raped by fey.

>>52630669
You manage to land a job in a mine.
Train with the local milita if you want your fighter level.
It will take at least 2 years to get there.

>>52630670
A 13 is photographiv memory tier man.
Don't underestimate fantasy.

But it's true that tg would have at least a lot of anons with a 12 in Int so with a bit of study they'd be able to learn Wizard magic.
But don't forget that it costs money to do that and you need to find a willing teacher or at least buy the books you need from someone.

>Don't underestimate fantasy

Don't overestimate fantasy, either. You're being intentionally and deliberately obtuse. Strength is based on a chart. It's in the goddamned book. And while the chart itself is ridiculous, that's what you have to go on. It's part of the internal logic of the stat. Dexterity is a little harder to quantify, as it represents not only agility and quickness, but also hand- eye coordination and manual dexterity. However, I'm sure a simple test could be devised to quantify these skills. I've already posted Intelligence.

Look, my point is that if we are using our own "stats", they wouldn't be 9- 11 in everything. They would varry, based on how we can quantify abilities.

>>52630201

>>52630747
Well let's go with this then.

Let the anons distribute their stats to up toa 13 in their best aspect.
And mention what usefull skills they actually learned.

I'd have this:

13 Str
9 Dex
10 Con
11 Int
9 Wis
9 Cha

Did bricklaying and studied history.
Took a course as a security guard but don't train enough to be worthwile in a fight against any competent opponent.

Oh... alrighty then.
I'd prefer going duskblade or something gishy. It needs more training and money, but if I learned something in my course in geological resources, I should be able to introduce some technological advancements in extraction, expecially when it comes to metallic minerals (also I'd be curious about studying mithril, adamantite etc.). Anyway I should be MAD enough and I wouldn't waste that. Also my Str and Dex are probably subpar, while my Int/Cha would be.. uh, around 12 or 13? Not enough for a full casting class probably.

>>52630201

Your best bet is to invest your money into spell books or grab a ritual to infuse your self with dragon blood.


My personal choice woud be joining an organisation as a servant first to use the opportunity to learn or be a smuggler under the guise of a fisherman.

The most dificult task would be gaining your fisrt class level.

To become a wizard or monk you'd need at least a decade.
Clerics, Paladins and other orders would probably take you just a bit less than that.

Rogues only need an exercise to get more dexterous and some street smarts.

Fighters would need the least effort if you aren't selling your soul with maybe a year or two of dedicated training.

I'm an unemployed musician. Is bard magic spontanious, or do I need to join a college or something?

>>52630867
You need to learn magic properly from somwhere.

But you do have the performance skill and proficiency in whatever instrument you can use right now.

Guess you got a job at the local tavern as a waiter and performer.

If you practice pickpocketing enough you might make it as a rogue and earn enough money to join a colegge.

>>52630862
Uh, maybe not dragon blood, but that gave me an idea. I could try and get enough money for some elemental ritual to become a Stone Sorcerer. It's thematic!
Or yeah, I'd probably try going rogue if that fails.

im a 21 year old, 6 foot, roughly 190 pound jobless loser, im only slightly talented at drawing in a anime/cartoon style with pencil,pen,and sometimes markers. besides that i went through a kinda frequent shoplifting phase for a little over a year before i got busted in a clothing store and haven't done it since.

I think i would enjoy a little time in a fantasy world but my main goal would be to quest for a way back home to earth."i think Elminster has canonically visited earth"

But I gotta take baby steps. I find the nearest painters/artists guild and beg pathetically to be taken in as a apprentice. if i get good enough to sell my work, i do so until i save enough money for some gear and a bow "fuck melee fighting a dude with a sword, im not getting close if i can help it" and enough money to hire a balanced party to help me on my quest.

if none of that works Im breaking into peoples houses at night and taking whatever i think is valuable to raise the money i need

I can really see myself ending up like that, I don't want to die in a medieval prison so I cozy up to the inmates with life sentences and tell them I'm planning to make a break for it. Then I try to convince them that they're also probably just gonna rot here so they should help me pull the old "fake fight to get the guards to come break it up" act. That's probably new to them, right ?

Also how long is my sentence?

Well, my physical stats are nothing special, probably straight down the line. I work out enough to maintain my physical skills so I guess 10.

I am a medical textbook illustrator with a decades' experience in anatomy, and I keep a small portfolio on me whenever I'm working. If I survive long enough to find civilisation I imgine either I'd have a comfortable life in a royal court as one of the best anatomists in the world, or be executed for heresy in defiling bodies.

>>52631204
4 years of manual labor.
Someone snitches on your prison break attempt.

>>52631148
Only those who aren't willing to work first.


>>52631253
Or work as an average physician.

>>52631265

Well, that'll be fine too. A few years' military experience in a shitty militia did a hell of a lot more for my minor surgical skills than it did for any of the supposed combat skills hey were meant to be training us in.

If there's a college of surgeons somewhere they'd probably consider my anatomical charts valuable enough that I could trade them for an apprenticeship at their expense. Life wouldn't be much worse than it was before I emigrated to Australia.

Considering I'm a university student of english philology, I have pretty much no useful skills. Therefore, my first reaction to this supernatural event is to commit suicide by yelling "Hastur" several times.
Should nothing happen, I'd just go and try to make a living by working for someone in a city or something, I guess.

That sounds like a horrific life, but that means I'm still alive. I spend the next 2 years acting like the model prisoner. I work hard, never even look at a guard the wrong way, and tell the other inmates about how dumb I was for trying to escape if I ever get a chance to interact with them. But secretly I'm putting a little muscle on my lanky frame from the hard labor, memorizing the guards shifts and dispositions, and most importantly peeing on my chains in my cell over the years to erode them away but being careful not to break them completely.

On my 2nd year I attempt to smuggle any small piece of metal I can find between my butt cheeks to later make into a shiv. Then I wait for the next stormy night...

I do hobby-level blacksmithing. I've made most of my own tools for it, a bunch of wall hooks, plenty of nails, some knives, and a single serviceable hatchet. Of course, this is mostly using a propane forge and my experience with coal/charcoal is next to nil. So I'd have to learn the fire management, which is something I should do anyways.

Also, new clothes, and a place to stay, shit's gonna suck for a while before we get anything done.

NONE OF US save for the smartest gentoomen are going to be wizarss because of the sheer mental effort required in the process of memorizing spells, writing them down in spellbooks, studying them, and understanding magic on the meta-fuck-ass level will work.

I know the True Names of Mephistopheles and Orcus, and those WILL come in handy, especially if shit goes south and it's better just to steal fat fuck Orcus's wand and become a Demon Lord with it, per it's bloodstone pass entry.

Every inch of the FR in in some shitty meta Faction war, staying the fuck out of it is the best bet to not die quickly.

Avoid the Harpers and Eliminster at all cost, as well as 420Drizzt, Minsc, and Baldurs gate, as well as the Church of Bane, because teching him baneposting as we're tortured by literally Hulk Hogan but evil is nothing short of disasterous.

IF we're rampant shitposters we may be able to become Tasocitects, turning everything into audible shitposting, but at best, we're looking at sorcery, Waif-clericism/kekism and Warlockery for rules laywers.

Also, if we have NPC levels as commoner, we can pick the flaw that lets you summon CR 32 Dungeon149 Orcus with a fucking Pig.

Wait though, could they just flat-out regenerate the dead tissue? Badass! I mean, I'm still mostly screwed, given I lost about 20% of my body mass while I was in hospital, but at least I can fucking EAT.

Then again, 'cheap' for adventurers. They still cost gold and the average labourer makes about 2 silver a month or some shit.

Other than that, I'mma join the church of Lathander. The Morning Lord is the god of new chances and re-inventing yourself with every new dawn, so that's perfect for someone who wants to shed his old life and become something better. Only downside is my Wis is shocking...

>>52631710
Buddy, as a fellow aspie, you may have good-ish Int, but your Wis is shit. ALL aspies Wis is shit; that's our THING - we're gimped in Wis and Cha but gain very specific knowledge bonuses for our obsessions and NOTHING ELSE.

Further, I think we can all just assume that the bullshit exploits in the rules probably don't work in reality; they're just a result of a poorly written rulebook. Sure, knowing the lore will help a LOT, but otherwise, common sense trumps bullshit exploits.

>>52631811
unskilled labor earns 3 gold a month
skilled labor would earn up to 9 gp a week assuming they were level 2 and took skill focus

>>52631788
Good news anon.
You have reached the treshold of Wis to become a cleric.

>>52631810
Meanwhile this anon underestimated the search for other warlocks and may have ended up as human sacrifice.

>>52630201
Pretty sure I'm gonna die before I get the chance to even figure out my ability scores. In that case, before I get stuck as a brick in the Wall of Faithless, I might be able to make a deal with whatever sad sob devil to petition my sad sob soul to be dragged into the blood war. If I'm lucky I might be able to meet up with the Nameless One and have a conversation before I get killed off for good.

>>52631811
I'm posting this from Faerun, I did EXACTLY what autistic anon said - allip for tarrasque to get XP, use Meph's true name to enslave him (used him to punpun me), now literally chilling in my own plane shitposting.

Exploits do work.

>>52631907
I'll join a Fey sex cult then. May as well get snoo snoo'd if I'm gonna be a sacrifice!

>>52632025
Then go and gate a few anons to Faerun like OP said.

>>52632072
I don't want to share my new home with you judgmental assholes.

>>52630201
Well I Tightrope walk and muck about with stilts in my spare time so I think I get Buff to dex
And I've been known to run marathons so maybe a 10 in con
str is more likely a 8
a Cha of 10 optimistic, very optimistic.
I'm currently working part time as a butcher, Whilst doing my masters in physics.
My farther is a medic.
So make of that what you will.

>How do you survive and what do you do?
Well step one would be to determine if they speak English or (pig)Latin. and if not see if I can work out the sign language for "will work for room and board"
step 2 would be some minor experiments to see what's different. How strong is gravity for example. Can magnets induce a current?, (do they even have magnets?), et cetera.
Then maybe try and get a job as a scribe.
and/or see if I can workout how magic works. I mean there must be "rules" to it's function.

As a side note, I think I'd like to see if I could get my hands on a few non-human corpses for dissection. I mean, I'm no doctor, but I remember most of Gray's anatomy and I feel their could be something to be learnt there.

>>52630201

>>52630201

Use my fondness for food, family and comfort to try and swing a lay-membership to the faith of Yondalla and bill myself as the world's tallest halfling.

Spend my days offering a safe, comfortable respite to people and end up as a father-figure to the community until I die of old age and go to my reward.


Failing that, use my whittling / sewing skills on the side to eventually become a puppeteer, and become "That guy who recounts stories of greatness. Like the War of the Stars, The Ghost Hunters, and a Great Trouble in far Cathay".

Marry the qt baker's daughter, settle down in a little house with a garden in the carriage-yard, someday be slaughtered horrifically by goblins and become either flavor-text in an adventure module where people deface my puppet collection for lols, loot it for the GPs, or alternatively, become somebody's "my parents are dead" origin story.

>>52631907
>You have reached the treshold of Wis to become a cleric.

That's wonderful. I'll give my thanks to Chauntea and continue working around the church that sheltered me before attempting any heroics. I can teach the farmers to use crop rotation and help out with irrigating and tilling the fields. I'll keep cooking to nourish the people close to me and start my own garden while I study and explore my new faith.

People are on average bigger, longer lived, and all around healthyer than they were in the Middle Ages. I'm gonna take a chance and head over to the nearest witch hunters order, sneak in at the dead of night, find the hunters bane concoction and chug that bad boy down.

Besides the chance of the potion killing me, I don't see any other downsides. I imagine I'm at least slightly more likely to survive as any commoner from the world considering my better nutrition and health . If they do catch me I don't think they'll waste a hunters bane by killing me, might as well wait and see if I survive so I can be recruited.

It's literally supernatural power in a drink.

>>52631708
Then I'll go around murdering every good and neutral person I meet. Saving so many souls from the risk of being snatched or swayed by evil and at the same time bolstering the power of their patron deities should get me enough karma points to counterbalance my own eventual suicide.

>>52630201
Would a bachelors in mathematics and computer science qualify for an introduction to beginner wizardry concepts (assuming this is like Jack Vance hyperdimensional magic-science and not weird elf artsy fartsy magic)?

>>52630201
I've been told I have the patience of a saint and a hard work ethic. Even if I'm a bit lacking in cognitive empathy, I feel affective empathy very strongly. Would there be any clerical order or monastic tradition willing to accept one such as I?

>>52630475
The same way I do now. Hunting, acting as a guide, and occasional cook. I'll start an inn or something.

>>52633613
Tranquility monks.

>>52633592
Sadly you would have to make do with being a store keeper or steward until you earn enough money to study wizardry.

>>52633661
Then I bid the monks my thanks.

>>52633718
Fucked immune system and lungs. I had aesthma from a young age and have had 2 bouts of hypothermia/pneumonia. My lungs are worse than a pack a day 40yr old smoker. Immune system isn't too bad these days what with my diet/supps but I'd lose those over there. Cast iron stomach though, can eat anything. So although not technically a low con, I'd get ass blasted with negatives out the wazoo

>>52633661
Eh, I'll make do, so long as I'm not old and wrinkled (or dead) BEFORE I become a half-decent wizard, that would be the worst.

>>52633756
Ah i know how you feel.

I drowned once. Half my lungs were full of salt watter and was in a hospital for a full month after that.
Last year i also finally found out that i have a grass polen allergy (doctors failed to diagnose it for 20+ years).

Try dooing breathing exercises from Yoga.
It helped me a lot.

I came from another world, so I have an unknown potential and some idea of what thats like. Also, bizarre meta-knowledge from dm'ing the system if this is 5e.

I immediately begin researching old oens and make a pact to become a warlock ASAP. Since the biggest hurdle is udnerstanding they are even a thing in the world, I'm already ahead of the curve. Me not being part of this world is likely to give me a kinship of sorts as well.

Other patrons / pacts are also acceptable, but less likely to be presented to me.

After I become a warlock, I suppose I'll join an adventuring party and start delving into unlocking more power- only goal is seeing how far my power will grow, for better or worse.

>>52633801
Thanks anon, I'll look into that. I've been looking to add yoga to me usual routine to get more height in my kicks. Will do!

>>52633927
A 13 in most stats but a -1 modifier on hearing checks with a 10 in wisdom.

What is your masters?

Seeing as we're popping up in a town, I look for a local smith's shop, whether it's jewelry stuff or just making tools, I can do both, if there isn't one for some strange reason then I try to get into some carpentry work or sign up with the local guard because 10 years of farm work and 3 years of hema should be enough to get started with them.

>>52633927
high stats, probably in the 15s and 16s

>>52630454
Farm work and work In general isn't like it used to be. For one people worked fewer hours

>>52634425
Listen. I'm not going to say farm work is easy today because the business side of you want to keep profits, especially in some crops, can be killer. But farming tobacco hasn't been this easy since we owned people, technology is great.

So..... I'm an SCAfag.
I routinely fight in some of the larger scale battles during Pennsic.
I am proficient in Light, Medium and Heavy Armor.
I dumped proficiency in crossbows and firearms for focus on my recurve bow.
I am proficient in: Shortbows, Spears, Polearms, Shortswords, Longswords, Handaxes, Throwing Knives, Dane Axes, Greatswords, Trebuchet, Catapults, and Ballista.
I am a native born West Virginian, so I have a racial bonus (or a regional feat) that gives me a bonus to survival in mountainous and forested regions.
I was born in the middle of a blizzard back in March of '93, and have naturally had a higher resistance to the cold than most people I know.
I am my groups' ForeverGM.
I go on 2 - 3 hour jogs daily (I don't keep track of distance, sorry /fit/nerds) with very little stamina loss.
I own and regularly practice with: a short sword (yes, a real one), a 60 lb draw recurve bow with about 3 dozen arrows, a pair of throwing axes and a pair of throwing knives.
I make a living working retail as an assistant manager (bleh).

Stat me bois.

>>52634873
13 in almost everything and a 14 or even 15 in CON.

Assuming you didn't lie.
You are a crossbow proficency and shield proficiency away from a fighter level.

>>52630201
>Transported to Faerun
Kill myself because the entire fucking game world is one horrible trope & mary sue after another and is so overplayed I'd like to puke

>>52633927

Because it looked like a couple of people actually bought your bullshit.

>>52634912
Meh, I sac'd Crossbow and shield proficiency for weapon focus for Shortbow. Do I really need those last two feats proficiency feats for a fighter level?

Still, nice to know I'm ALMOST a PC and have plenty of options open if I never decide to multiclass.

>>52630201
I use my knowledge of various beasties to sign on with adventurers, acting not as a typical member of a troupe, but rather as a source of knowledge for whatever they are facing.

Giant spiders? Bring torches and razor sharp knives to cut through webs, along with antitoxin in case anyone gets bit.

If its any other variety of giant spider than the typical sort, gtfo. Phase and sword spiders are nothing to fuck with.

Goblins? You can usually rely on their own laziness to give you an opening, but they're sneaky and sadistic if cowardly. Approach with caution, be patient, and use shock and awe tactics when possible for maximum effect. I've also read goblin hunter, so I truly know what I am talking about.

Act as a source of meta knowledge on beasties. Get some gold, then publish some books and try to establish yourself somewhere as a legit business. Alternatively, learn magic and try to get to lv 15 or so where you are effectively immortal.

>>52635518
So, you'd be their version of Fire Emblem's Tactician?

>>52635730
yes?

Now build a party with 5 of these anons.

>>52634955
What would be bullshit there ?

>>52630201
I do sport, LARP, and HEMA. I also have a degree in history, and attend church every week. Guess im either a Paladin or Cleric of Torm.

I program. Fug. Maybe I can into magic and cast one first level spell a day? Probably go to the first temple of Pelor and beg for a chance to contribute to society, get stuck doing something menial but useful for the rest of my life until the adventurers show up and ruin everything.

I train martial arts 4 days a week and lift weights. I'm not used to farm work but I'm probably better off than a lot of people. I guess I'd just be a fist-based fighter?

>>52630201
Fucking implying. We arent all idiot level basment dwellers who havent lifted, trained or read a book.
Str 15
Dex 9
Con 14
Wis 8
Int 12
Cha 14
Go to the most noble order of. The radient heart, prove my nobility by reading, begin training as a paladin

>>52630569
If you actually check how STR converts into lifting/carrying capacity, anyone who lifts weights regularly probably has at least a 16 strength.

>>52630201
Chosen of Mystra's can hear their name and the next nine words spoken after it.

So I say "Elminster, I'm from Earth via magical rift and need help."

Since an unknown magical rift snatching people at random is something he might be interested in, I think I have decent odds at getting his help.

>>52630201
Been training and competing in Judo for 10 years. Now run my own school, where we teach traditional Japanese Budo. So maybe 11 strength and is being a monk a thing?
Might start my own school of Zen and just keep my head down.

>>52630201
If we look at how Strength and Constitution are actually translated into physical achievement within the rues, then no, I most certainly do not have a 9 in physical stats.

Assuming 3.5, you are able to lift your maximum load overhead. I am able to lift 145 pounds overhead, making my STR at least 15. It says you're able to pick up and walk around with 2x your max load, so long as you only waddled at about 5ft per round. I am able to lift up and waddle about with a bit over 400 pounds; that would make my STR 16.

In regards to CON, it says that "anyone with a CON of at least 9 can run for about a minute." I can run at full speed for a little over 8 minutes: I'll low ball myself and call it CON 12.

I won't lie and say that my INT or WIS are above an 8, but I'm a handsome fellow and have been playing two instruments at the RCM 10 level for about 6 years, I'll say that my CHA is 12.

At any rate, given my stats I imagine I can secure a position working in a local village as a woodcutter and member of the militia, after beseeching the church to take me in temporarily.

However, accumulated modern knowledge will certainly give me an advantage in many areas of life. Moreover, by dint of having such an exotic background in the world of Faerun compared to the rank and file citizen, I imagine that sooner or later adventure would find me.

16 STR and 12 CON can make for a minimally competent fighter, which is what I'd want to do anyways. I will wield my trusty wood-axe, and a simple shield of oaken planks, and whatever form of protective wear I can afford with my scant earnings combined with my ubiquitous sweater/hoodie/denim jacket combo.

>>52630201
>most anons on /tg/ have a 9 in all physical stats
Y-you can only lift 90lbs overhead? You can only run for a minute? Do you think everyone on /tg/ is a sickly manlet who never steps outside?

What these anons said, pretty much.

>>52643001
This is me, and the following are who I select to join in my adventures.

>>52642789
I choose this anon for his craftiness and knowledge of this strange new world's lore.

>>52634873
I choose this anon for his self-confidence and skill in a variety of weapons.

>>52631647
I choose this anon for his knowledge of healing, medicine, and a worthy craft.

>>52630867
I choose this anon so I have someone to play music with.

>>52630669
I choose this anon, because geologists are a sturdy, honest folk.

>>52630533
>OHP lmao2pl8

>>52643195

I choose this anon, because he appears to have his shit together.

>>52630201
>try to learn magic
>fail because of shitty mental ability scores
>become a thief and hope that luck pulls me through, try to get a hold of magic items that I like
>become a fakemage and wander the planes, trying to get back home

>>52630201
I call out my main man Pazuzu's name 3 times, let him read my brain to see i'm chill and then ask him to give me sick warlock powers so I can go spread the word.

>>52644011
Ability scores would be something like:
STR 6, DEX 12, CON 8, INT 11, WIS 8, CHA 7

Classes:
Wizard or Sorcerer 1, after a lot of effort. Give up, go Rogue 1, also after a lot of effort.

Realistically I would really only learn to be proficient with crossbows. Skills would rely on stealth and mechanical manipulation rather than social roguery, and I'd also be proficient in an instrument because music isn't as freely available there as it is here and I would go mad without it.

>>52630201
Kill myself, I guess.

>>52630201

haha charisma 0 for me thats for sure haha

>>52644219
>A character with Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma 0 is unconscious.

Anon are you OK

>>52630636

Not that anon, but...

If we keep our meta knowledge that means setting info as well. I know a lot of the lore and secrets of 2 editions of Forgotten Realms, including key secrets of NPCs and strengths and weaknesses of monsters.

I first sell some of the secrets to wealthy individuals I prefer (Elminster or Volo for example), then use the money to buy a small store in adventurer's supplies, spell components and outdoors gear.

I spend my time peddling and learning secrets while writing monster slaying guides for a living and have those distributed.

>>52630670
17!
...bullshit desu.

>>52630670
>16 INT

Still not bad
Why do I feel so dumb?

>>52630670
18, but I sort of think the IQ test I took may have been bullshit.Probably more like 14.

>>52630201
>Fat
>Bad knees and ankles because fat all my life
>Horribly nearsighted
>Crohns disease
>Bad teeth
>No real outdoor skills or knowledge

So I imagine I'll be dead within the first week unless I become some clerics pet project.

>>52630201
If we follow the IQ = INT pic here, I've got an 18 INT, so I could be a caster. My STR is about average, so a 10, my DEX and CON are below average but not awful, so a 9 or so, WIS and CHA are decent, WIS is above average if what I'm told is right, so 12 or so for WIS and 10 for CHA.

With that, I could be a wizard.

>>52630670
>Recently did an IQ test as part of a health check
>Hvae 17 Int

Guess i'll become an abjuration wizard.

I'm an er nurse. I've wiped poop from a 90 year old rotting vagina and opened airways clogged with bloody vomit before. high tolerance for grossness. I know more actual medical science than most renaissance doctors. The main issue is that healing magic could trivialize my entire skillset.

>>52630636
Because:
1) I'm trapped in a D&D setting
2) I'm trapped in fantasy land
3) It's better to die than be killed
4) I literally couldn't care less about the meta knowledge

I know how to build most of "low" tech machines and I'm a chemist by trade. And I still consider suicide in such scenario the best option.
Being trapped in another world/time is by default fate worse than death.

>>52647277
Quick someone Isekai this anon to prevent him from suicide!

Where's that truck when you need it?!

>>52630201
>Int doesn't get above 11
>Wis is a 9
so, if 10 is the stat for the average joe, what does being in the top 10% of my country gives me (talking logic/IQ here)? Wis or Int ?

>Cha 9
>Str 9

>>52630201
That is a gorgeous ax.

>>52648189
I think the problem is that a 3d6 stat distribution is way too tall compared to the actual distribution of intelligence. In faerun, theoretically one out of every 216 random ass farmers has an 18 intelligence. (unless you are assigning them the standard array, with rolled stats just for PCs)
IMO a worldhopping real lifer probably could use the elite array, better diet, healthcare and education explaining high stats and general decadence explaining lower ones.

>>52630201
I'm fairly spergish so probably 6 CHA, but I think everything else would be 10+. I've got about a decade of taekwondo under my belt so I might try to find a monastery, it would give me a safe place to live and learn.

>>52630201
I am just out of highschool and in a language university... if I know the language of the place I am now in, I will try to find a job as a servant of a wizard. I might also be able to volunteer and join a church maybe. I wouldn't mind helping out there so...

If everything else fails, maybe I can join a caravan or become a servant to a merchant until I can find a spot under a wizard or a cleric.

>>52630201
Join the civilian militia and guard with a pitchfork and wood shield until the adventurers get here.

>>52630201
I'm more of a STR 9/DEX 9/CON 9/INT 10/WIS 10/CHA 11 kind of guy. I would use my current skills to make a living. This includes storytelling, cooking, irrigation, writing (scribes make a shit ton in a medieval setting), first aid/disease treatment, and some farming. I'd try to weasel my way into a lords good favor, maybe even sign on with an army. I bet you I could make a killing if I use common medical knowledge plus some herb lore I know to treat easily preventable diseases. Shit like, "kill the rats, burn your clothes, quarantine the afflicted, wash your hands, don't pop that, keep your feet dry, eat some fruit, drink clean water" that kind of thing. Can you imagine the shock on people's faces when you teach them half the shit we know now? Like imagine teaching them to make a smokeless fire, or a new game, or how to just do things better to help their daily lives. You'd probably be hailed as a master inventor.

Well, most of my physics degree is useless, as the information is too abstract in many ways to use as anything other than a curiosity, this is mainly as I lack the manufacturing knowledge needed to put alot of it into practice. Differing names of elements/materials and purity is also an issue.

The maths I know however, that may well be useful. Mechanics for engineering, and statistical analysis for economic work.

So find an engineering guild or a bank I guess?

Unless I luck out and somehow find someone interested and capable of putting into practice my physics knowledge. As, for example, whilst I couldn't build a generator myself, I know enough to point someone with the relevant skills in the right direction.

Not him. Just thought it'd be fun to yell at someone.

>>52654382
Geez.
That barely made me chuckle.

No need to hold back.
Give me your best greentext assault.

>>52642789

I do this

See if he will help me or help me help myself either is good


Also I look into spelljamming and see its a thing

>>52630201
Well, my stats have been verified as a STR 10+ and a significantly higher than average INT, with a recently lowered CON.
But I'll accept the stats as presented.

In addition to my other, less translatable skills, I am literally a skilled potter.
I would find the closest mage willing to help me, or failing that, teach me.
I would study magic while doubling the output of the nearest potter to pay my way.
I would live as best I could until I was able to find a way back home.

Am I the only one who wouldn't want to abandon everything here?

>>52655381
You aren't.
Not everyone here is autistic enough to abandon their parrents, siblings, friends and whatever they built up for them selves on Earth.

>>52656340
Good to know.

>>52656340

Especially not for Faerun, Eberron...maybe, but not fucking Forgotten Realms.

>>52630201
I would be fucked. There's no other answer besides this. I wouldn't get good at anything fast enough to avoid a monstrosity in the wilderness, the raiding parties of evil-aligned humanoids, or even surviving in a medieval fucking environment on my own.
If I didn't die on the first week, I would end up becoming a NPC. That guy your party always meet in some market, full of nothing useful to say, trying to sell you a trinket that does nothing for too much coin, hoping I get a bag full of platinum coins just to shut the fuck up and leave; like it happened once in my gaming group, when the fighter player got annoyed by the annoying npc trying to sell him "colored feathers" and handed him one of the pouches of the treasure we had just looted from a cave, which was filled with 20 platinum coins.

>>52630201
Abuse metaknowledge to achieve a reroll. Fucking unworkable stats there, man. At least offer standard 10s across the board for
'normal at everything' status. Make a druid friend to reincarnate into something with good racial bonuses, make a deal with some diety that recognizes how I don;t belong in this world, do whatever needs to be done to fix that shit.

Step two would involve achieving lichdom, because all the gods in that setting are actually assholes who want to use your soul as fuel. Luckily, metaknowledge suggests that I would already understand the process necessary, and would only need to spend my time gathering the expensive resources.

From thereon, spend a few decades to get 20 levels in wizard through research. Do so with minimal risk necessary. No rituals that would attract murderhobos, no devilish contracts, no upsetting the aforementioned asshole pantheon.

Finally, use that arcane mastery to become something that's only a spooky skeleton on the inside. Spend the rest of forever finding interesting things to do and handing dangerous artifacts to plucky adventurers so thay can go do some funny bullshit.

Basically, I'd dedicate my life to becoming that jerkass mage that leaves magical swords around for anyone to find and start revolutions with.

WAKE UP

>>52630201
All my stats are higher than that though you massive faggot

Well, I have worked in Childcare for over 4 years, so here's a list of skills that I developed or put to use.
> I am able to develop a rapport with the children, their families and my co-workers fairly easily
> I have been described as calm and possessing the patience of a saint, especially with several children screaming in my ear. Gone slightly deaf because of this.
> In an environment where children can easily pass on contagious diseases to other children and adults, I have rarely become sick.
> Have intimate knowledge of how a child's mind learns and develops, and can convince children to become inquisitive and eager to learn
> Due to prerequisite first aid training, fire safety and general WHS training, I know how to do basic first aid and how to identify hazards and limit the spread of germs.
> As part of our training, we are required to identify concerning behavior and clues that affect a child or their families, such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence and so on.
> To be able to play with the children in an outdoor setting, you need to be physically fit, nimble and energetic.

Now for my hobbies
>Had participated in LARPs and SCA briefly, so I know the basics of swinging a sword.
> Got into cosplaying and, while new and inexperienced, seem to have a talent for it.

My downsides are;
> I'm not physically strong, compared to the average man I have spaghetti arms.
> I have a bad habit of overthinking things when in stressful situations.
> I have exzema in my hands, so if I don't moisturise it makes squeezing my hands hurt due to the raw skin and dry skin flakes.

Would I survive in the Faerun world?

>>52664605
If you become an acolyt and cleric then sure.

>>52630201
I have a certified IQ of 146 and a Doctorate in Economics. Pretty sure that makes me at least 14 INT, but I forget how deendee's shitty, idiot, ass-backwards rules treat INT.

>>52665561
>but I forget
-2

>>52630201
>stats are below even the standard array
You know that this is bullshit, don't you anon?
But nonetheless, stats matter little:

>Live in Silverymoon, literal safest place in the setting
>Volunteer to work in the Knights in Silver or at the Silverwatch, keep expenses at a minimum and always show humility and desire to improve and learn
>Whenever I have enough money, enroll into the Lady's College, hopefully I can be good enough to get sponsored by Alustriel, but I'm not counting on that
>When at level 5, leave the Knights in Silver/Silverwatch to work at the Spellguard, therefore getting virtually free tuition at the college
>Spend years like this, living on the college and working at the guard, honing my mind and body to perfection
>When I have access to all the good stuff I need, do the usual meta tricks to cut a few corners
>Generally try to make everything better for everyone, not the evil overlord route
>Once a powerful, 20th level wizard, retire to my own demiplane

And there we go.

>>52665561
You are supposedly at 18 Int by DnD standards then.

Hope you survive long enough to earn enough money for a spell book.

Wow really? Giving me shit stats like that huh?

I'd take the two decades of Lore Knowledge I have on Faerun and use it to my advantage. I'm not fa/tg/uy material. 6'7, 260ish lbs. I've got a good frame, no posture problems but my only flaw is that I wear glasses, which I suppose could be some sort of long term issue should they break...

I'd find out what Year we're in and go from there. Most of my fantasy library is Forgotten Realms and I own most of the series, which I re-read on a normal basis, since I sometimes use the book plots for D&D plots, somewhat modified, of course.

I would find one of the many famous people along the sword coast and recount to them my story. Tell them their entire biography from the novels, what will happen, what has happened to them, or the world, etc.

I would tell Lathander that he is Amaunator, and how and when he would awaken. I would tell the entire Drow Pantheon their fates, and how. I would recount personally to Mystra, the Red Mage, or to Azuth how and where they would die and how to prevent it.

I would attempt to gain power and favor of the gods. I would walk the streets with knowledge on how to perform rituals, or where items of legend are, but yes perhaps outside of my reach.

But I would befriend everyone worth some shit. Because I wouldn't be lying.

Your Move. Shitty DM.

This ist sadly Not true. There is actually a really wierd phenomenon, where in the Last 2 generations the measured gripstrenght of humans in Western societies hast almost halfed, wich ist quiet a significant amount.

Gripstrenght is Generally thought of as a good measurment for upper Body strength.

I'm the leader of a group that does mathematical research on better GPS tracking algorithms. Relativity is involved. Give me some int and cha.

My go-to plan for being stuck in a medieval world is to invent the floating arm trebuchet and earn my keep designing those. But I don't know if siege weapons are even useful in fantasy land.

What kind of shit stats are those, holy damn.

Regardless. I kill frogs and other sort of small shit like It's my religion. Live in the wilderness because I actually can survive in temperate climate forests, hope not to trigger some bullshit random encounter.
Start killing bigger animals.
Dunno what class would that set me as. Ranger? Barbarian? I'm pretty confident in my constitution.
Anyway, advance to another CR. You know the drill.
If I can live my current life doing the same shit over and over, I sure as hell can turn my new life into irl mmo grindan.

And then I don't know, I'd like to fuck a monstergirl, now that I actually can.
How the fuck do I that?

>>52630201

I'm pretty close to a black belt in karate, which I'd guess counts as part training for monk or at least for improved unarmed strike. I have a degree in philosophy, in anthropology and a masters' in philosophy of religion (I basically wanted the closest thing to a qualification in theology without having to go to seminary), and I go swimming regularly.

And doesn't Faerun have sub-race/region-based "racial" variants? We should have some bonuses from being modern humans and maybe from each of our own nationalities.

Modern western basic-education'd humans should all probably start with their first level in Expert, and a decent college education should be good for one or two more.

With advanced knowledge of physics and engineering, I immediately sell my services to the biggest ruler and live comfortably.
Look, tanks are useful

And there you have it folks, I become a bard, warlock, or sorcerer. I'm personally inclined to go sorcerer, because it involves the least amount of effort with it being natural gifts and whatnot.

>>52670061
better than what op gave, he's a faggot

>>52670077
Yeah except... you dont have 17 charisma. You probably have closer to 10. And we're on 4chan so like even having AVERAGE charisma is a stretch

>>52670090

I rolled for stats and that's what I'm taking
I even did the 3d6 down the line meme

Thats exactly the authoer's point though. You're that fag who decides he doesn't want to play in everyone's low-magic campaign, and thus you aren't. Take your made-up "stats" and RP somewhere you're wanted

Case in point; your force of will (charisma) must be pretty weak if random /tg anon is getting to you

"And let's make some stipulation about most /tg/ anons first to have some sensible limits."

>>52670114
"And let's make some stipulation about most /tg/ anons first to have some sensible limits."

Anon, this isn't the thread for that

>>52670242
People underestimate the charisma of anons.
A good chunk of us spend all day learning the perfect way to manipulate a particular emotional response out of people (anger). Baiting and trolling is absolutely valid for charisma. The key feature of charisma is the ability, through words alone, to manipulate another's emotional state and their view of you.

I don't think anons have low charisma.

>>52670317
What if its a girl?

>>52670562
I'm pretty sure we can piss women off a lot easier than men, so it's still more than valid

>>52670317

I think it's a limitation of the system. The stats all represent large, complicated collections of abilities under simplified headings. Constitution, for example, covers endurance and resistance to disease. Most modern humans are unfit, but in an age of large populations and air travel, we also develop strong immune systems. Which one decides what our Con should be?

>>52670805
Look at lifespans and environmental factors.
Modern humans and faerun humans have the same given natural lifespans. We survive long from hygene practices, and they from proliferation of healing magic presumably.
A clean individual who uses modern hygene practices in a setting with a great amount of healing magic available may very well live longer, and be considered to have a greater constitution than the norm.

>>52670255
>sensible limits
No, it's OP stats that he force on everyone else because he'll whine if we're not shitstain like him.

>>52630201
>INT doesn't get above 11

What do I need for a GPA to get a 12? Because if 4.0 doesn't count for that we're all screwed.

Actually I'm screwed anyway. None of my family or friends are on the Sword Coast and they're a good 75% of the reason I haven't ended myself.

The other 25% is I just can't be bothered. Dying's a lot more effort than it seems, ya know?

>>52670317
But it also is your ability to resist influence. and you're lying if you say that tg isn't full of passive sheeple. its FORCE OF WILL. Be honest with yourself; how many in this thread walk looking at their feet with slouched posture

>>52670989
You're right my bad. I don't doubt that you have almost 20 charisma. That's why you run a fortune 500 company. Oh wait... you have a crappy average joe job.. cause your stats are average...? I dont get it.... What are you arguing here

>>52671991
Honestly being on tg I'd say average intelligence is probably higher than 10. Even If only because we crunch numbers for fun. Though i dont think GPA is a measure of intelligence. Maybe you just studied a lot. Like studied so much you neglected your social, emotional, and physical health. Eventually even a 6 intellect autist will pick up on it

>>52672035
Not my feet, but at the ground.

Then again I've spent most of my life wearing a backpack that weighs a fourth of what I do. I don't think my posture ever stood a chance.

Resisting influence is Will saves, determined by Wisdom.

>>52672099
>studied a lot

I wish. If I had that kind of discipline I wouldn't be here right now.

>>52672114
Then why when you roll diplomacy is it opposed by their Charisma? Will saves are a measure of knowing what is real and what isnt. Which would be governed by how wise you are. Also those with very strong Charisma add their charisma to every save... so...
