I'd say that Aspies are mages because intelligence is often associated with them.

Though it's pretty depressing that Aspies get penalties to almost everything else.

Penalties:

-1 strength (lower muscle tone often with AS)
-2 dexterity (aspies are often clumsy, associated with the low muscle tone)
-1 wisdom (in the NWN2 character creation it said that an "absent-minded professor" is a typical representation of high intelligence but low wisdom, and Aspies tend to have a bad short term but a good long term memory)
-2 charisma (obvious for the socially awkward)

Bonuses:

+4 int
More spells available because of memory
Heightened senses

I think I have had more issues with coordination than strength. I think that is much more variable.

Although Agility/Dexterity are higher.

We would get bonuses that Trolls get in WOW - they get a racial bloodlust (for my occasional temper outbursts)

I like the idea of Warlock more, because you are able to stand at range, and port yourself to different areas.

Also, as an aspie I tend to relate to pets very well, so the Lock pet would be nice.

This is true, Aspies process information visually like animals, which is why we naturally have this animal empathy thing that the neurotypicals don't.

OMG OMG OMG I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STATS :D AND RPG'S OMG OMG OMG :D :D :D

Anyway lol

I exercise and go to the gym a lot, so I would have a lot of +Strength. I am also very agile, so dexterity would be decent. The wisdom/intelligence would be okay, but there are things I don't know due to the aspy stuff. Charisma would be the lowest due to the social aspy stuff.

I have a suggestion.

It may just be me, but I've always found that when i get a new mobile phone or something, i usually hate it because it's unfamiliar, and doesn't work as good as the old one. later on, as i get familiar with it, i get better at using it, until I'm so proficient at it that getting another one is really hard for me

So an Aspie would gain an advantage with a weapon the longer he uses it. Say; one point of Atk/Def per day, limited per weapon.

What do you think?
