If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular? (programming.dev)

Hmmm. If 10 is average and 30 is world-class...

Strength: 13. I'm a big and fairly muscular guy who goes to the gym regularly.
Dexterity: 10 (+1). I'm not clumsy, but I'm no gymnast, either. Strictly average, all things considered. I give myself one bonus point on account of being ambidextrous.
Constitution : 12. Again, regular at the gym. Should probably do more cardio, though.
Intelligence: 15. I'm a software developer, I'm working on being bilingual, and I have a lot of varied interests. You'll also note that I can spell and use punctuation properly, which is sadly outside the norm. I'm not bragging, I know I'm well above average in intelligence.
Wisdom: 10. I'm not the stereotype of a book-smart-but-foolish person, but I'm also smart enough to know I'm not winning any hypothetical wisdom awards. I've made average amounts of boneheaded mistakes.
Charisma: 12 (+1). I'm a better-than-average public speaker, and I have it on good authority (my wife) that I'm reasonably handsome. I also get the (completely unfair) tallness modifier.

All in all, my D&D stats would be pretty decent. Nothing anywhere near the peak of human potential, but not bad.

That tallness modifier is more real for me than I ever realized growing up. Wish I had made better us of that earlier in life. The 4-eyes bonus helped my INT too.
