- aceakm, on 04/06/2008, -1/+88Buried for giving Paris Hilton an intelligence of 9.
- t2t2, on 04/06/2008, -2/+53Mr. T should be a (lv 70) Night Elf Mohawk...
- Mahoney07, on 04/06/2008, -0/+45Mr. T is more intelligent than Paris Hilton.
- br0wnstar, on 04/06/2008, -2/+31There's something wrong with the ranking system when Rick Astley and Mr. T have a lower intelligence rating than George Bush. I pity the fool that wrote that.
- frogman54, on 04/06/2008, -5/+28I don't know...I think Paris is smarter than the president.
- tocsy, on 04/06/2008, -9/+27That's gotta be the worst, most fanboy-esque list I've ever seen. Ron Paul has both int and wis of 17? Steve Jobs has a wis of 17 and a cha of 20? Dawkins has a wis of 22 and cha of 25? I realise I'm arguing about the non-existent characteristics of real people, but it's stupid.
And, since Digg is full of fanboys who love Ron Paul, Steve Jobs, and Richard Dawkins, this is probably going to be one of the farthest dugg-down comments ever. - kss42, on 04/06/2008, -0/+15It's out of 20, not 10.
- Psynaut00, on 04/06/2008, -4/+15Bush Intelligence: 10
Wisdom:6
Way, way too high! - klick37, on 04/06/2008, -0/+11Mr T. speaks Jibba Jabba? Dugg.
- Zarokima, on 04/06/2008, -1/+11Sounds like someone got some low rolls.
- mizike, on 04/06/2008, -1/+11if that's what you think, you might not know what charisma means.....
- Asianwaste, on 04/06/2008, -1/+10No it's not. It's kind of stupid... and this is coming from a guy that likes DnD.
- zeiben, on 04/06/2008, -1/+10Sometimes, I wish there was a bury category beyond "OK, this is lame". Perhaps: "OK, gimme my freakin' 5 minutes back"
- JohnFrum, on 04/06/2008, -0/+9What made me blink was his alignment. Chaotic Neutral?
As Colbert pointed out, he's a man who believes the same thing on Wednesday that he did on Monday, no mater what happens Tuesday. That's not Chaotic. He's also not a fence sitter so neutral doesn't fit. I'd say he's clearly Lawful Evil. The worst kind of evil by the way because they've justified their evil acts and are sure they are on the side of the Just. - JohnnyKdiggs, on 04/06/2008, -4/+13For Bush, "Constitution" should be 0.
// taking things too literally - catachip, on 04/06/2008, -0/+9Because wired had no geek cred before this. All those housewives reading it and all.
- kss42, on 04/06/2008, -0/+8Whoa, every time I try to edit this, it posts a new comment. Must be a weird bug or something. OK, I'm done now.
- eclipticevader, on 04/06/2008, -0/+8While some may be a bit inflated, this is still very funny. Mr. T also needs an added ability.
Awaken: Bring target character back to life, but character must make a saving throw vs Mr. T's Anti-Fool Presence. Failure results in re-death. - discochew, on 04/06/2008, -0/+7Inaccurate. Everyone knows Mr. T is a Night Elf Mohawk.
- vyking, on 04/06/2008, -0/+7I pity the fool that did not give a percentile bonus for Mr T.'s strength.
Any true D&D fan knows a fighter with an 18 STR gets a percent bonus. - hinchb, on 04/06/2008, -3/+10George W. Bush
17th -level politician
Chaotic Neutral Human
Strength: 11
Intelligence: 0
Wisdom: 6
Constitution: ITS JUST A GODDAMN PIECE OF PAPER
Dexterity: 10
Charisma: 16 - DemonWasp, on 04/06/2008, -1/+8DnD Attributes: The range is typically 3-18 when a character begins life, but can be modified by their experiences and by magic. The "average" for a human being for each attribute is 10-11; 14-15 is exceptional, and 18+ is "superhuman". Going the other way, 6-7 is "poor" and 3-4 is "barely human".
Paris Hilton, therefore, qualifies for an Intelligence score of about 8-9, in all honesty. Remember, 10-11 is "average" for peasants living in a medieval setting. - vpshockwave, on 04/06/2008, -0/+6I thought Mr. T was a Mohawk class fighter?
- SeventhSon, on 04/06/2008, -0/+6Cracked would have managed to put it on 19 different pages instead of just the already inconvenient nine.
- nixfu, on 04/06/2008, -0/+6T should have gotten much more Wisdom.
- ThatGeek, on 04/06/2008, -0/+5I pity the fool that has to fight Mr. T
- Khast, on 04/06/2008, -1/+6Yeah, but the President's dice are fixed, so it doesn't really matter.
- michelsonmorley, on 04/06/2008, -1/+6Correct me if I'm wrong but it was an insult to Jobs. His can distort reality 'if he rolls less than his Charisma, minus the target's Intelligence', meaning, the smarter you are the less likely he can distort your perceptions! (Example: iphone vs say nokia 6820, iphone looks better, costs twice as much, and does only half as much)
- MioTheGreat, on 04/06/2008, -2/+6Anything less than 9 and you won't be able to speak properly. I'm pretty sure we've heard her talk better than unintelligibly at least once before.
- Bebel, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4I was going to put a definition of charisma for misinformant, but then google showed me this:
Charisma-
(Greek). A special divine gift which endows the recipient with a supernatural ability to know and proclaim the will of God. ...

Is it just me or does that yell Bush? - Melf26, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4They didn't mention Mr. T's ability to bring people out of comas.
- pilobilus, on 04/06/2008, -0/+3GW Bush is obviously under a powerful Illusion spell of some kind. How else does a Lawful Evil character get listed as Chaotic Neutral?
- kss42, on 04/06/2008, -2/+5It's not on a scale to 10. I think it goes to 20. Or maybe higher? I don't play D&D.
- punkcat, on 04/06/2008, -1/+4the scale for D&D is max 18 for humans, 19-25 if you are a deity.
- noahgelman, on 04/06/2008, -1/+4not really, she usually has something in her mouth....
- aboyd, on 04/06/2008, -0/+3Well we now know that punkcat is not a teenager. :)
The guideline you mentioned hasn't been in the D&D ruleset since version 2.0. They're on version 3.5 right now (about to release version 4), and the current rules allow for extra stat points as you rise in levels. It's not a lot, but it's very possible for mid to high-level adventurers who are not anywhere near gods to have one or two stats in the low 20s. - Laughto, on 04/06/2008, -0/+3Mostly accurate, except Mr T would have 18 Charisma
- zoziw, on 04/06/2008, -0/+3I know this is just for fun but Steve Jobs, a Paladin???
- amoirae, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2Wouldn' t Dawkins have an automatic fumble on the ability to Detect Trannies?
- Hetman, on 04/06/2008, -1/+3The only one that is really that good is Richard Dawkins.
- LordVengeance, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2While a pretty cool idea, i think the list is kind of lame, and not a very good tribute to Gary Gygax.
- SublimeRuin, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2Duuuuuude - that's the wrong song!
- isunktheship, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2someone hasn't played D&D ever!
- groone, on 04/06/2008, -1/+3Though I love Gygax for making me a geek proper, I think this article was stupid and insulting to his legacy.
- diggik, on 04/06/2008, -3/+5Huge lump of geek cred to Wired on that one!
- copypastry, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2Rickroll

This spell afflicts the subjects with uncontrollable laughter. They collapse into gales of manic laughter, falling prone. The subjects can take no actions while laughing, but are not considered helpless. After the spell ends, the subjects gain the benefits of rage (as barbarian) for as many rounds as it was enchanted.
Material Component
A link of iron chain engraved with a closed eye: a blind link. - jeffinfremont, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2That was so stupid it was funny.
- molochi, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2That would imply Bush has lawful beliefs he adheres to, instead of just doing whatever he feels like. A lawyer might be L/E. Your HR department is probably L/E. Bush isn't Lawful Anything.
- Maggette, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2Ron Paul? The guy who wants to take us back to the gold standard? Crazy...
- Midoc, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2"meaning, the smarter you are the less likely he can distort your perceptions" Sounds like Jobs to me.
