None of the above. But MEMORY and PATIENCE, I need a lot...

Golly, makes life sound an awful lot like an RPG. I just wish I knew the rules of the game ;)

Ah, AD&D - that takes me back. Being asthmatic, short-sighted, and having a preposterous amount of allergies (oh my god, I sound like a geek!) I could probably do with an extra point or two of Constitution.

Constitution. I always get whatever cold or flu is going around.

Someone's been playing a little too much D and D.  * smile * (The fact that I know that show's that I've played a little too much in my lifetime)

FYI, these characteristic are from "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" a game that was very popular with kids and adults from my generation. Every player of the game had these as part of their stats.

I said intelligence. I think it would be most useful to be more intelligent no matter how smart you are.

D&D... hmmm... it always seemed easier to decide this for my characters... as for me, i like them all.

Wisdom, definitely - a better perspective on life would be great. (wouldn't mind an extra point or two of dexterity or charisma as well...)

i'm a physical wreck from being not only a rough player but also accident-prone, so strength i guess

What I'd really like to improve most is motivation, because I think it would make more difference in my life than any of the above, even though I wouldn't mind a nice boost in any of those as well. :-} But if I had to choose from the above, I think I would choose wisdom.

I've never had cause to wish any of my physical characteristics was improved, nor those having to do with "thinking". The one aspect i often find myself berating myself over is a serious case of shyness/introvertedness. I guess that falls under charisma.

This is tough, but I think I would choose charisma. I think I already have the power and opportunity to improve the other choices ... I admit I don't have a clue as to how to improve my charisma though ...

Still using the old D&D characteristics, I see! Wisdom is one of the two (Constitution being the other) that I would have trouble figuring how to go about improving by concerted effort. The others seem to me to be things one could improve by "working on it" in one way or another, so it seems to me that I already have the "power and opportunity" (if not the time) to improve them. I'm reasonably healthy, and don't feel particularly vulnerable to disease, so I choose Wisdom, for the purpose of this survey, at least.

I allready have 18s in them all. My player cheated when he created me.

D&D anyone? heheheh I choose intelligence. that is the only one that I couldn't improve through natural means. I think I am above average intelligence now, but a bit more wouldn't hurt.

I'd want more patience. I'm happy with my present state in relation to all those other qualities.

Skill. To be better at what I already do well in, there is a very broad range for me so over all I think that would be the most intelligent decision. You planning on making an RPG game? How about magic talents. Ha ha ha

Well I chose Charisma, so I rolled the dice and it came out to be 18 out of 20, but since I'm a dwarf I get minus 7 on my charisma scale. At least I still get my axe with my good dexterity. Maybe that magic amulet the rogue with the good constitution gave me will help me a bit, eh?

Spot the D&D players in the audience...  * smile * . Wisdom, probably, though it would depend somewhat on the number of points I had to play with.

I would choose strength, I tend to be lazy. So maybe if I were stronger emotionally I could force myself to get up and do more. I have actually been tested as above average in I. Q. tests so I could probably accomplish a lot if I ever could force myself to.

I'm screwed up enough, what makes me think I can pick one of these and become an improved person as a result? At least I know what I have here.
