DnD test

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Bard/Cleric (2nd/1st Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-15

Dexterity-18

Constitution-16

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-18

Charisma-18


Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Primary Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.


Secondary Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

I Hate The Way I Feel

It's funny how 8 years of love can be destroyed in seconds.

Lately I've been wandering
Off the narrow path
You've given me so many things that I've never had
And all in all I know it's you that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you'll see my heart is true

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

The world I know is pulling me
More and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

(You know sometimes deep inside)
I feel like this

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life

It's not the way you see me, It's the way you let me down

As I sit here in my room, at 1:26 AM... I find myself with too much time to think, and not enough energy left to do anything else other than to express these thoughts in the only way I know how, the only way I'm comfortable with. I'm frustrated.

Why? Because I am stuck in a conflict with no apparent resolutions. It's no secret I struggle with self-confidence and self-image, and I have low self-esteem. A boost to this is several women have told me I'm not only good looking, but if they weren't dating anyone, they'd date me.

And therein lies the double-edged blade. I'm the second choice.

I'm always the seeming backup plan. The rebound guy. A safety net. Pulled along by a string, promised the world, but delivered nothing... nothing but more promises...

It's been happening more and more. This frustration builds... It becomes a sort of down feeling... then it boils over and becomes a slightly snappy mood...

And then inevitably becomes the feeling that drives me: Rage. But my rage has 2 sides - A rage that burns and pushes me to be more, do more, see more... And a rage that longs for destruction - of others and self. The latter has reared its head a couple of times in recent days, kept in check only by a God-Given will...

I've been having this recurring dream, as odd as it will sound. I'm standing in this field with a rather large 2-handed blade. I'm fighting this endless onslaught of... I don't even know. The ground all around me continues to cave and give and fall away... Then out of nowhere, my best friend Jason shows up, with a blade of his own, and together we just continue to fight the onslaught... Two silent, solitary figures battling a relentless world. There's a nice feeling of knowing he's got my back through this...

But I can't shake the feeling of how both very much alone we both are. I really hope he doesn't feel the same way in real life. I hope he never has to see and deal with half the shit I've had to. I don't really worry about him much, he's a strong one, but I know he and I are similar in many ways... And I know I'm feeling an every growing sting of loneliness.

I don't even miss Denise anymore... But I miss having someone to hold. Someone to love. Someone to share my life, love, and fears with. Someone to hold my heart when I've suffered. Instead, all I can find are those who cause the suffering.

A part of me feels like all I need is a chance. A chance to just be in the right place, in the right time, with the right person... And I could dazzle the world.

But sometimes, there are just no chances...

Maybe I need to devote myself to solitude and distance...

I'd Rather Feel Pain...

Not really much I want to say today.

I'll just let this video I made awhile back speak for me today.

He's back...

I know it has been awhile since I've said anything. To any of you who actually read this, I apologize. I've had a lot on my mind, but didn't really feel like typing anything out.

I got KJ-52's CD "The Yearbook" for Christmas. I highly recommend it. Very inspirational stuff.

2008 is here. You'd think now that over a year's worth of time has passed, the pains would have eased, but they're just as prominent now as they were then. I have, however, been able to suppress the pain for longer and longer periods of time before it comes bursting back up. Maybe that's not healthy, but it keeps me going. I also have to thank my friends Daniel, Jason, Jordan, Sabrina, and Scott for really helping me out of my pits.

I'm not really sure where I'm going right now. I thank God for World of Warcraft right now, though. The game has provided a way for me to interact with my friends when they're not close by, and just escape into another world, another person, for awhile. Here, I'm in a state, it feels, of constant struggle - I feel out of place, I keep fighting down the pains of loneliness and doubt, my job is stressing me out, etc. But there, for awhile, I can simply be Mossimo, the Dwarven Paladin. There, everyone just sets aside (usually) their real life problems, and just come together to tackle problems in the game. It's not a fix for my problems, of course, and I'm not using it to try to avoid my problems... But everyone needs a break from them.

Not all that long ago (a month or two back), I signed up at a site to find a Pen Pal or two. After two weeks had passed and I got nothing, (and being to shy to start one up myself), I kinda wrote it off as never happening. Glad I was proven wrong. I got an e-mail today from someone who seems pretty cool. God knows I could use another friend.

I have to go to work soon, so I'll wrap it up here.

This guy is my hero =)
