What D&D Character Are You?

(That Dorn Test!)

This test is to allow you to define a character. By paying points you can alter the resulting character in interesting ways. As of yet it is not set up to do anything beyond selecting alignment, race, and character class. Based on the character class and race there are (will be) adjustments made to the dice you roll for the usual characteristics of strength, intelligence, wisdom, etc.

I am particularly interested in results for alignment. The questionnaire is configured to generate scores for specific (for example Lawful Neutral) alignments associated with each question. If that produces a single highest alignment, that's what you get. If not, it sums up law vs. chaos and good vs. evil, and resolves ties in favor of neutrality. From my own test runs, this produces pretty good results, but if you feel otherwise, feel free to tell me what you think.
And of course people will get so many points to switch things.

This test (or questionnaire or whatever) requires support for both JavaScript and pop-up windows. If your browser doesn't support both of them, we're out of luck. Unfortunately, there's no other way to do this - there's over 2000 possible results, and I have to generate them on the fly. And while I could write some kind of CGI program, I prefer the portability of using JavaScript to do the generation.
Now Remember. You are answering the question from the viewpoint of your desired character!!!

29. A group of adventurers heads off into the world, intent on making a name for themselves. As a member of this group, what is your role in the party?

The Leader. I tell everybody what to do and when to do it.
Second in Command. I have leadership skills, but I hate making the big decisions. I'll handle arranging what must be done, if somebody else tells me what that is.
The Brains of the Outfit. I'm not a leader, but I'm great at ideas. I'll toss them out, and let the rest of the party figure out how to actually implement them.
The Follower (aka The Grunt). I'm not a leader, and I'm not an idea person. Point me in the right direction and tell me what to do, thank you.
Moral Compass. I may not be the leader, but I will definately speak up as to what the party should or shouldn't be doing, based on my own moral code. This may or may not be annoying.. but probably is.
The Lone Wolf. While I may be a member of the party, I will always stick to myself and be distant from the other members.
The Opportunist (aka The Backstabber). I'll play along up until the point where it's time to divide the loot. That's when the Knives of Betrayal come into play..


30. The group of adventurers you're with breaks open a cave filled with treasure. What catches your eye first?

The stacks and piles of gold and jewels.
The strangely glowing sword mounted on the wall.
The many-faceted jewel that feels somewhat cold to the touch.
The ancient shrine to some long-forgotten deity, recessed into the wall.
The jewel-encrusted harp leaning against the wall.
The hand-carved wooden statue in the corner.
The dusty tome on a pedestal, with an odd-looking cover.


31. Now it's time to divide up the loot. What do you do?

Stick knives in the rest of the party and take it all.
Everyone shares equally, no more and no less than anyone else.
Most of the profits go to the family of the poor henchman who disarmed the traps at the cost of his life. Or, at least, to buy another roll of duct tape.
Whatever is decided on, I'm tithing most of my share.
I'll just take this one little piece and leave the rest for the party. I won't mntion that it happens to be the most valuable item.
Who cares? I'm spending my reward on ale and whores, so I'll take enough to keep me busy until the next adventure.


32. Oops. Seems there was a Great Red Wyrm waiting for you when you left the cave. Think fast!

Run. Really fast. Thinking can wait.
I only have to run faster than the slowest party member..
Draw sword. Roll initiative.
Fear my Magic Missile!
Pray. Very hard. And pray that it works.
I know I have a scroll of Slay Dragon somewhere in my backpack..
Look for the nearest shadowy corner and stay there.
May (insert name of deity here) guide my blade!
Aim my arrow/bolt for the eyes and cross my fingers.


33. Seems you're a bit short on ready gold, and you need some food. What do you do?

Sing for my supper at the nearest tavern or noble's house.
Slit the purse (or throat) of some wealthy-looking individual.
Go to the nearest temple and ask for charity.
Put on a charlatan's show and do some simple stage magic.
Sell that magic item you've been holding on to "for a rainy day".
Hire yourself out as a bodyguard.
Ask the local constable if there's any wrongs that need righting.
Go into the nearest forest and find your own.
