You cannot ressist baby! Most babies also have a spell-like ability that works like a level 19 Charm Person.

love the facial expression of the black guy...

Babies have an innate +10 "cuteness" bonus to their charisma.  Interestingly enough, the baby has the same intelligence as my fighter character :)

Whoa, Ustauk! What's up with the "cuteness" reference to the "ice cream" commercial? ;)

Very cute.  However, the dad (or mom) is a nerd-wannabe.  Any proper D&D Nerd would be able to tell you that "Human" has never been acceptable as a class name.  Not in original D&D, not in Advanced D&D, not in Second Edition AD&D, and not in the 3.x versions.
Besides that, the AC calculation is wrong, the hit points are too high, and they forgot to include the stats for the obviously-equipped Soother of Destructiveness.  Also, how can I play this character if the miniature keeps crawling away on its own?

and for those who think I'm being serious, that was all just a joke

We all know you have already worked out correct stats and are going to stay up all night making your own template. Then tomorrow you are going to go look for a blank shirt and iron transfer paper.

So what, I have to scrap my level 10 Half-Orc Human? LAME.

Character sampleCharacter = new Character.RandomCharacter(DndVersion.OriginalDnd);

switch (sampleCharacter.Race)
{
    case Race.Dwarf:
        sampleCharacter.Class = Class.Dwarf;
        break;
    case Race.Elf:
        sampleCharacter.Class = Class.Elf;
        break;
    case Race.Halfling:
        sampleCharacter.Class = Class.Halfling;
        break;
    case Race.Human:
        MessageBox.Show("Race is Human, so you have to pick Cleric, Fighter, Magic-User, or Thief for your class");
        break;
}


Stupid original D&D, your race was your class *unless* you were human...
