True Neutral Elf Cleric (5th Level)
First seen here. I find the "cleric" result interesting. I would have guessed my "constitution" score would haven been higher. Also, I think some libertarian type thinking put me in the "true neutral" zone.
What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be?
I Am A: True Neutral Elf Cleric (5th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-14
Dexterity-14
Constitution-12
Intelligence-17
Wisdom-16
Charisma-14
Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old and, by human standards, are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many others races find them hauntingly beautiful.
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.

Powerwerx DB-750X: Programming Kit
I just don't get it... $39.99 for the software and cable (plus almost $10 in shipping via UPS ground to me)! That really doesn't make me want to get my wallet out for the $300 radio.

Becoming more and more convinced the guys on Top Gear have the best job in the world. The "Hamster" is driving a 2 million GBP Lamborghini on the episode I am watching. And they pay them to do stuff like this.

Gone Girl
Random book recommendation from my wife: Gone Girl
I mention it because she was lukewarm when she started the book. All her friends talked about how great it was and couldn't wait till she finished, so they could talk about it. She struggled to get through the first half or so, but now she's seen the light and is very excited about it. And apparently I will be reading it shortly.
