I'm going to do a playthrough, here! Well, after the Patch 1.3 goes live. CAN'T WAIT FOR DIRE MAUL!
I'm going to be using Ability Scores obtained through this test: http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/terragf/back/xstattest.html , and an Alignment from the Wizards of the Coast test. But, I'm playing at being indecisive about my character class, and ohhh noooo I don't feel like using the decision decider or decider apps on my Android this time, I'm going to rely on a bunch of strangers from the internet! Because that's the best idea ever. Nothing bad has EVER come from people using the internet to make decisions for them.

Here's what we're working with.
Strength 8
Intelligence 13
Wisdom 11
Dexterity 16
Constitution 15
Charisma 15



It's going to be a delightful roleplaying romp through the Sword Coast and Amn, full of misrepresentation of myself! Because I'm not really a Chondathan Human, a Half-Elf, or so on, and I'm totally going to play a Half-Elf!
All so full of reloads, mods, and tweaks enough to make my Swords & Wizardry House Rules look almost Draconian! Screenshots! Possibly even drunken posts!

More information, such as mod setup and actual relevant content, coming up with the Patch.

EDIT: So what I have to vote to look at the results. :| NOT FAIR I'M TELLING my vote has no bearing on this.
EDITEDIT: Formerly "SCARY WIZARD's Sword Coast Adventures! I can't be bothered to decide, so decide for me!".

    Or sorcerer. You have the minimum charisma for a bard, so that's good. Your int is also not terrible, you'll only have to drink one potion of mind focusing for scrolls :P

    With those stats...I'll say thief.

    Bards are awesome and you are awesome and therefore logic dictates that you are to play a bard. It makes sense.

    Then that will be half for Bard, and half for Sorcerer, in your case~

    I hesitated between bard and thief, but the game lacks a really good female bard imho.

    Why not Mage 5/thief? You have enough int for level 3 spells, and will always be able to use any scrolls/wands. Strength and invis would be good for backstabbing

    P.S. Btw what's this dire maul you speak of? O.o

    In World of WarCraft, Patch 1.3 introduced a big dungeon called Dire Maul. Back then, and for a long time, it was pretty "relevant"; now, it's just somewhere people go for achievements and to grind for cosmetic gear.
    I started in 1.5! Now I just sort of remain in the game and roleplay abraisive characters on the Roleplaying Servers...

    I voted Bard but I was tempted to pick Specialist Mage because I'm curious what you would choose. :-)

    Let's see... Conjurer, or Transmuter. Ehh, I like the concept of Divination too much, and I'm far too fond of Abjuration to give it up. I'd just end up being a Generalist.
    That, and since I chose above all to play a Half-Elf, there's the matter of "Hey, I've just restricted myself from a school of magic for the centuries that remain of my life!". With a Human, it ain't no thang, but with the longer-lived races...

    Magic user/Thief. Since you don't have fighter mage as a choice, then THIS one is what you SHOULD get, so as to make the most out of your game...
