(TFT) Meet Joe (ab-2)
Meet Joe Average
Str 10.66
(Since Frank started doing Hardgainer-style workouts over two years ago
here's the progress he made:
March 92 February 95
---------------------------
Deadlift 100x10 307x15/335x8
SL Deadlift 50x10 243x9
Shoulder Press 77x8 143x6/90x20/160x1
Pulldowns 110x8 198x8/220x3
Leg Press 260x10 400x35
Squat 100x10 209x15 (I only began to do this lift
again in the last year)
BTW, by March 92 he had already done two years of more-conventional
workouts, so he was no beginner and he had used up all of his
"beginner-gains". {so we're talkin 5 years total JC})
Dex 10.66
DEXTERITY:
1. Coordination
Grace and fluidity of movement. Balance.
Eye-hand coordination. Manual dexterity.
2. Speed
Reflexes.
Rapidity of controlled movement, for example running speed and hand/arm
motion.
Skill with accuracy-based activities (marksmanship, swordsmanship, some
sports, etc.)
(tough to get a handel on. I'm going through Ocupational Thearipst stuff
now.....)
IQ 10.66
The average I.Q. for people of all ages is 85-115 across the range of the
most used tests but 1IQ = 10 I.Q. test points seems a bit off as 150pts is
said to be genius and most tests stop at 180pts or less(D&D may top at 18
soully for this reason) but there are IQ20 spells listed.... or is that Mr.
Jacksons point?.....
(assume 11 for any single attribute and 22 for any 2 attributes; Joe always
adds up to 32pts)
MA 10 (Athletes can run the 100 yard dash in about 10 seconds)
Height 5' 9" (actually this is the modern average in the U.S. 200 years ago
we were about 4 inches shorter. We know because that's how they built their
houses, but I need a standard that I can judge on the fly.)
Weight 180lbs (The average person requires about 0.8 grams of protein per
kilogram of body weight.)
(Determining frame size for adult men:
from oso.com
To determine the body frame size, measure the wrist with a tape measure and
use the following chart to determine whether the person is small, medium, or
large boned.)
height over 5' 5"
small = wrist size 5.5" to 6.5"
medium = wrist size 6.5" to 7.5"
large = wrist size over 7.5"
(A simple way of estimating desirable body weight for women is to allow 100
lb for the first 5 ft of height and 5 lb per inch above that. For men, allow
106 lb for the first 5 ft and 6 lb for each additional inch. Subtract or add
10% to allow for variations in body build. Individuals more than 20% over
their desirable body weights are often said to be obese.)
so allowing that 10% Joe is getting on the bubble at 180lbs

40 total spells
(a whole Unit of Joe Wizards could be pretty impresive! Hideing other Units,
turing arrows, allowing silent ambushes on enemies who have been put to
sleep for good measure....., not too mention the visual of 1000 Wizards
letting loose 1000 serpents on a enemy Unit)
Given a foundation of what Joe can do what remains is a reasonably simple
way of describing what groups of Joes working together can do. That comes
next in Units. Before that though am I missing something?
