D&D Character Stats in Your Signatures?

[Avielle]

Hello!

 

So this is totally insignificant I'm sure...but for some reason I'm harping on it.

I've noticed some people have character stats in their signatures and I think that is SUPER cool.  How did you all determine it?  Was it from a NF article I missed or did you all just decide to start at a number and randomly give yourselves' stats when you feel like you deserve it?

 

I gotta know.

It's a super old school Forum challenge metric.  Way back in the day we had 6 week challenges rather than the 4 week ones, and part of the challenges involved picking your goals and assigning stats to them that you would gain if you successfully completed the challenge.  They abandoned it a couple years back, but a few people kept going with them or just kept the stats in their signatures for fun/posterity.

 

If I recall, it was the semi-typical D&D start, spreading I think 25 points between the stats that made up, well, you.  And then from there challenges would have 20 points you could distribute between 4 goals that you would then award yourself as you successfully completed the challenges.  This was my first challenge way back in the day, and you can see that I have conditions for getting those stat points.  Go to the last page, and you'll see my self-grading and how many points I awarded myself for completion.

 

It was a pretty fun metric, and people can still do it.  It just stopped being the "official method" in order to streamline the challenges and make them a bit more accessible.
