I'm Galadriel... a Lawful Good Elf Bard Ranger?

I guess it makes sense, though I can't say I see her out there with Aragorn humming a tune.

First test I got Wesley Crusher
On the D&D test, I'm a...

Gandalf, Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger Bard.

Whatever that means.

OK, I was a bit confused on the old D&D thing (I never learned about it because my bro wouldn't let me play :(), so I went on Wikipedia too. I'm a Chaotic Good Elf Mage Monk and it says:

Chaotic Good
"Rebel"

Chaotic good combines a good heart with a free spirit.

A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He is kind and benevolent, a strong individualist hostile to the claims of rules, regulations, and social order. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He will actively work to bring down unjust rulers and organizations and to liberate the oppressed. He finds lawful societies distasteful and will avoid them, often living as a nomad or hermit.

Noble rebel leaders fighting corrupt or venal regimes, vigilantes acting for what they see as the greater good, mercenaries who only work for the good guys, and anyone who "robs from the rich to give to the poor" are all examples of chaotic good characters.

I think I like the sound of that. Bit tricksy. ;)

Rock!
 

For the D&D quiz, I got Neutral Good Elf Mage Ranger, Follower of Mystra. And don't forget, I'm still a Starship Captain.

I really hope I get to play some D&D in college... I plan to fully explore all nerdy possibilities offered to me. :D

I'm not sure what this tells of me, but I got Jean-Luc Picard and chaotic good elf ranger druid. :rolleyes:

I'm Yoda, the neutral good elf bard mage, follower of oghma. Whatever that means.

D&D means nothing to me except something for me to vaguely ridicule my brothers about when we are all young. (When I bothered to notice them at all, of course :rolleyes: )
What is the difference between Neutral Good and Lawful Good? Are you less good if the former, or just more boring if the latter?

Lo! another Chaotic Good Ranger Druid. :)

The double axis of alignment
 

Lawful = following Order and tradition, has a great respect for the rules and authority, follows a code of conduct

Chaotic = strong dislike of authority figures, preference for personal freedom, avoidance of ordered societies, sets no rules

Neutral (on the Law vs Chaos scale) = no bias for or against Order and rules

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good = respect for life, selflessness, concern for others, etc.

Evil = self-serving, no care or concern for others, in extreme cases create oppression, etc.

Neutral (on Good vs. Evil scale) = Not personally committed to serving good, but does not serve evil, either



The two axis can be combined in any way, creating 9 possible alignments. In this way, a character could really hate society and it's rules, and still desire to serve the side of Good. (Chaotic Good) Or they could follow a strict code of conduct and still have no concern for life and even oppress others in a dictator like fashion (Lawful Evil).

Examples from LOTR:

Boromir - Lawful Good (desires to follow the rule of Gondor and his father, and the true king, and also desire to save others and give of himself.)

Gandalf - Chaotic Good (doesn't give a rat's tail about what everybody else wants, saves the day in his own way)

Sam - Neutral Good (doesn't really know about rules or tradition, but wants to do the right thing and help others)

Hope that helps!

thanks for that.....so as a

Lawful Neutral Elf Ranger Bard Follower Of Silvanus


I follow the rules but don't really believe in them..... spooky

No, you follow the rules, without bias of Good or Evil. In essence, you'd make a good Judge.

That is less accurate then my judgement is erratic... my interpretation was closer to my horoscope chart's verdict of a freespirited traditionalist :confused: .....

Lawful Good is possibly right for me in real life, I suppose, but I tend to RP Chaotic Neutral...

Thanks Roa.
It makes more sense now. Neutral Good sounds about right for me. I don't have a problem with authority but I don't mind breaking rules that I think are wrong or silly.
The elf bard mage thing is still beyond me though.

However I bet Anguirel went for the pretty harp in the cave. Didn't you?

Elf = immortal, skilled in nature and magic, kind of short, considered to be wise

Bard = singer, actor, story teller, performer, etc, has some magic, mostly involving interaction with other players and NPC's, high charisma scores required

Mage = arcane magic user, high wisdom and intelligence scores required

It was between the harp, the Silmarilesque gem and the tome...I now can't recall which one I picked...

I also nicked the small valuable thing from the hoard. And legged it from the wyrm...

I went for the book..when it comes to the crunch information wins over shinies...

I went for the harp as being a more unusual object, though the book tempted me sorely. And I'm ashamed to say I think I went for the "you only have to run faster than the slowest person" option.

Galadriel
 

M-m... are they sure?

I had a tough time choosing between the harp and the book, as music and books are my two loves. I ended up picking the dusty old tome, though, considering that I adore old books and cannot play the harp. Now, if it were a flute, that would have been a different story... :D

That's what Hobbits are for.

Mean Ang, but true... :D

I went for the tome partly because of a sense of honesty about my musical skills (instrumental anyway) and partly because..well it might be the lost chronicle of Middle Earth with all the bits I want to know......

Choosing the book was pretty easy for me.

The carved wooden statue- did anyone pick that? It's wood, not even expensive stuff. And it's a statue. Wow. Really useful.

Gold and jewels are nice, but then there's plenty of that. Worry about gold and jewels later.

The jewel encrusted harp- I'd pretty much ignore that. I love music, but I wouldn't think about grabbing some fancy instrument before taking care of more important things.

I would also ignore the shrine to the forgotten deity at first. What the point? It's a shrine. And obviously the deity wasn't even worth remembering, seeing as it's "forgotten" now.

The many faceted cold jewel- that would catch my eye before the other gold and jewels because there is only one. It might hold some useful power.

The strangely glowing sword would certainly catch my eye. It's always good to have a sword, particularly if it's powerful/magical or whatever. But first, I would...

...look at the dusty tome. It's the only choice. First, it might tell you about the other items in the room. For instance, it might say, "The sword resting in this chamber is the Accursed Sword of The Barrow-Wight, and it will stick to your hand and not allow you to sleep or eat until you have used it to kill a dragon."

You'd feel pretty stupid if you grabbed the sword first and then read the information. And the same thing goes for the other items. If there is anything you need to know about things in the chamber, the book would be where to find it.

Also, the book might be powerful in and of itself. Maybe it has some awesome spells recorded in it, or gives the location of something valuable or powerful, or maybe it just has some forgotten history recorded in it. For me, the book was the clear choice.

On another note, I retook the D&D test several times and tried different combinations of answers each time, because some of the questions had a couple answers that worked for me and it was tough to decide between them. If I'm remembering right, I came up as one of these at least once- "Elf Mage Bard", "Human Fighter Mage", "Human Mage Bard", and "Elf Fighter Mage".

So, as you can see the answers did change my Race and Class a bit. However, EVERY single time I came up "Lawful Evil". The "Lawful" I don't have much of a problem with, but what answers to what questions do you think caused me to come up evil rather than good?

Lawful Good Elf Ranger Paladin... what a mouthful
 

So I'm a hippie with the world's best interest at heart? Okay.

And tp... they just know you too well. :p

Chaotic Good Elf Mage Bard

Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Lawful Good Elf Ranger Bard

I got:

Error 500: Internal Server Error.

My personality is best described as: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I feel special.

I got Chaotic good halfling mage I'm not quite sure if that is bad or good since I have never played D&C before:D

I also went for the book. I think its the memory of Gandalf and the Book of Mazarbul that does it for me and dusty tomes. Besides, I came out as a Mage, seeing as I chose to use magic at every opportunity, and that book might have dark and dangerous spells in it. ;)

Does this actually bear any resemblance to how you dream up characters in D&D by the way? All I seem to remember when my brother and his mates played it was much dice rolling and reference to books with monsters on the covers.

I intended to do that, too, but when me and my goth friend went to the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Soc event we got scared because they were all really scary looking boys who looked like mega-nerds and would have grilled us about obscure Star Trek facts (we were mere Tolkien fans). So we went and got drunk instead. :(

Hey, Heren, Bb, and Feanor....I'm also Galadriel.

Plus I am a Neutral Good Elf Ranger Druid. Lay one hand on that noble tree and you will be very sorry! Seeing as I was a bit of an eco-freak when I started reading Tolkien, this seems appropriate.....

## "Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others."

Sounds like me alright - how tiresome to be ID'd as Galadriel though :D

The other test:

Neutral Good Elf Ranger Bard

Thanks for posting that ##

Oh dear, I hope such is not my fate. I get chastised by some of my geeky friends about not knowing obscure Trek facts, but then, they don't know jack about Elves, so it's alright. :D I'm working on my Trek knowledge, though... hopefully I'll have my Quenya and Klingon up to scratch by college and I can get some geeky respect. :smokin:

The book you would use is the Player's Guide. It has all the information about alignments, races, classes, abilities, weapons, armor, etc. The Monster Manual has all the info about various creatures in the game, from regular animals to Zombies. When making a character, you pick race, ONE class, and the alignment, then you start coming up with the stats.

Alignments sometimes must be decided by class or race. Elves have a natural leaning towards being chaotic. Dwarves are distinctly Lawful. Druids must be Neutral in at least one alignment. Paladins are almost always Lawful Good. Half orcs tend to lean towards Evil, but not necessarily so. Clerics must be the same alignment as their deity.

Your basic stats go to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. These are decided by rolling a d20 (20 sided die) 9 times, and then removing the lowest three. (Depending the DM, and what the character is for- I recently made a one time use level 20 character for a solo campaign, so had a little extra leeway with my dice rolls.) Then you assign the rolls to where you think you'll need them.

Examples: Bards require high charisma scores, mages require high intellegence and wisdom scores, clerics need high wisdom, fighters need high strentgh and constitution, rogues and theives need high dexterity, etc.

Also, certain races get bonuses and penalties to these stats. Half orcs get bonuses to strength, but penalties to dexterity, gnomes get bonuses to intelligence, but penalties to strength, etc.

You also have a skill set hat needs choosing, and a certain ammount of points you can ascribe to each skill. Some skills are Search, Look, Listen, Persuasion, Knowledge (Particular field), Ride, Climb, Swim, etc... Some are class skills, like Animal Empathy is a Druidic class skill. Also, certain races get bonuses to these. Elves and half-elves get bonuses to Look, Search and Spot. (Comes in handy when looking for hidden doors in a dungeon.)

Then, of course, comes armor. Heavy armor comes with panalties to dexterity, but has the obvious plus of being impenetrable. Your armor type may depend on your class. For example, Clerics don't need to move alot, they just need to stand there, cast spells and heal everybody. So, the heavier that armor for them, the better. Druids are forbidden from using worked metal in anything, so they have to use light armor. Rogues and thieves obviously don't want heavy armor, and may opt for the protection of medium armor.

Weapons also have certain advantages and disadvantages. If you give your character two weapons, they must be Ambidextrous (a Feat, which is in a whole other category.) Or the could have a weapon and a sheild. Some weapons, like the quater staff require two hands.

Basically, there are many different combinations to think about when creating a character. The dice rolls are a very small part of it. There is endless possibilty for making a truly unique character, and infinite room to go about problems and tasks in anyway you want. It's a game about improvising solutions and strategies, which is why it has such a big appeal to "nerds" (ie, intellectual types).

Actually sounds far too complicated for me...and I more or less ran away from the Fresher's fair when men in armour and rather realistic looking pikes tried to recruit me to the Sealed Knot ( I had titian hair to my waist in those days and the sort of face that suits period costume) ... having just failed to improve my grade in Tudor & Stuart history I rather wanted to forget the whole sorry episode and I rather imagined that I would spend every weekend as a serving wench ..... this bard stuff sounds more fun if I could have got my head around it ..( I just about coped with the first fighting fantasy adventure book) but I joined frogsoc instead ( where the guys were less nerdy :p )

Wheee! These were fun!


I am ARAGORN!! Fear my ranger-y-ness!!

Apparently, I'm such a kind, charitable, protective gal. :D

And I'm also....

Another ranger!! Interesting, interesting.... Although the "lawful neutral" stuff makes me seem incredibly mediocre. Heeheee.

Who the hell is Kosh?? :rolleyes:

Kosh is a character (Vorlon ambassador) from the science fiction series "Babylon 5".

LOL I got Galadriel hmmmm so that's why my name is lothlorien lol

Hey I'm also a Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger Paladin
