What makes a nerd?

[rkade8583]

Nor would I.

Asians usually avoid social losers like the plague.

I got zinged

Really? ALL asians avoid ALL social losers?

What makes a nerd?

A newt and a bird?

I'd buy one.

Well, one hardly expect babies to wear platemail or dodge arrows, no?

 

[Hygro]

I'd buy one.

although 2 hp is too high. 1 is more than enough.

edit especially with that constitution score. given the AC its 3rd edition or later, so that con means -3 hp, and the baby is no higher than a level 1 commoner, which is 1d4 hp, minimum of 1, meaning there is a 100% chance for 1 hp.

I'd re-roll. Those stats are just abysmal! And who would put the 18 into charisma? What a waste! What's he going to be - a bard? That's some bad parentage right there!
Also, isn't the base AC 10? Where is he getting the bonus from? Certainly not from his dexterity...

Aren't you confusing AC and THAC0? I say that because you say that an AC of 6 is better than an AC of 10...

Ooooohooooops. You're right.

I utterly lost that nerd fight.

plus it is almost universally known that humans should exploit the class unique to their race - paladins, which would call for much higher strength and charisma, as well as decent HP.

The whole AC/THAC0 thing is so ridiculous that i can't help suspect it was intentionally designed to be confusing...

Paladins? They never struck me as particularly overpowered. Please elaborate! My understanding was that dual classing is where it's at. A Kensai + Mage, for instance, is almost invincible.

his stats are lowered by age penalties. duh!

this is 3rd edition or later. You know because of the AC. Any race and be any class in 3rd or later.

I can only bow at your sportsmanship . You had me at your mercy, and you spared me

I don't think clothing has anything to do w/ nerds. Most nerds I know, such as myself, dress casually w/ t-shirt & shorts or a bit more preppy w/ polos. Those plad pocket-proctetor shirts seem to be more redneck than nerd.

Bill and Yuri have nerds down. Nerds do not lack social skills, often do the best in life, can play sports, etc and are just general academia. Geeks are much more focused towards 1 thing, but many geeks are also nerds. I myself am a band geek, but thats just one element of my nerdiness.

Nerds also tend to enjoy things that might not be super popular but certainly doesn't make them weird. Thigns like Star Trek, Civilization, Chess, etc that are more intellectual but still normal, rather than hours and hours of fantasy roleplay games like geeks.

i'm a nerd AND a geek!

The stats are for a baby.

plus the stats are written out of order. they are written in like "Eye of the Beholder" style D&D computer game order

So sad that kids these days aren't being brought up in a traditional pen-and-paper environment. I bet that kid won't learn that there are dice that don't have 6 sides until he's 23.
