Descriptors

Descriptors provide a summary of your non-average attributes for ease of use in play. The DM will generally want you to describe your player using your descriptors at the start of each session.

The descriptors for each attribute are:

Attribute	High Descriptor	Low descriptor
Strength	mighty	feeble
Intelligence	bright	dim
Wisdom	insightful	foolish
Dexterity	skillful	clumsy
Constitution	tough	frail
Charisma	inspirational	laughable

For determining descriptors, you get a bonus to the primary and secondary attributes of your class: this does not change your actual score. The primary attribute for your class is counted as +3 to your rolled score, and your class' secondary attribute is counted at +2 to your score.

For the three standard classes:

Class	Prime Attribute	Secondary Attribute
Fighting Man/Woman	strength	dexterity
Magic-User	intelligence	constitution
Cleric	wisdom	charisma

So for each of your attribute scores, consult the below table:

Attribute	Extraordinarily Low	Low Descriptor	No descriptor	High Descriptor	Extraordinarily High
Primary	NA	3-7 (and is also high)	NA	8-12	13-18
Secondary	3	4-6	7-10	11-13	14-18
Other Attributes	3-5	6-8	9-12	13-15	16-18

For example, a Magic-User with the following stats would have these descriptors and describe herself as, "Ivana, who is dim and bright, extraordinarily foolish, and tough."

Ivana the Idiot-Savant

S	11
I	5	dim and bright
W	3	extraordinarily foolish
D	10
C	11	tough
Ch	9
