McCain vs Obama, D&D story.

First McCain:

John McCain.

Level 10 Human Blackguard.
Lawful Evil
Stats: (lost some due to aging)
STR: 12
DEX: 11
Con: 14 (he does jog a lot, I think.)
Int: 12
Wis: 7
Cha: 14 (was higher, around 16, when he was a Paladin in 2000 and 2004)

That is a fallen Paladin.

Here is his story. McCain fought bravely in the Vietnam war. He was taken prisoner and became a politician in the early 1980s. As a Lawful Good Paladin, he was a true Maverick, fighting injustice on both sides. He became a level 13 Paladin by 2000. He attempted to run in the 2000 primary against True Neutral Level 5 Aristocrat, George W. Bush. Bush's Neutrality was not a philosophy. He was just dumb.

However, despite being low level, he was the son of George H.W. Bush, a level 11 Aristocrat. His puppetmasters hired Karl Rove, a level 20 Neutral Evil Gnome Illusionist.

Rove mislead voters in North Carolina about McCain's adopted elf child, saying he didn't know the child's mother. McCain had adopted a child from an elven country. But this "push polling" allowed the Puppetmasters to bring their Drunken Aristocrat into power.

The Paladin would be defeated and return to the senate, where his Lawful Good nature would cause him to oppose the Bush tax cuts because spending was being increased.

He remained Lawful Good and stood up for Neutral Good (leaning toward Law) Level 9 Fighter John Kerry, both who had served in Vietnam. Many lower-level fighters who had not actually been with Kerry lied about his war injuries in order to take Bush back into power, who after the 9/11 attacks, had become Lawful Neutral, and a Level 8 Aristocrat.

Similar low-level fighters of Vietnam would try to call John McCain "songbird McCain."

When McCain won the nomination due to support for moderates although he was slipping toward Lawful Neutral, the Gnome Illusionist Karl Rove told him he could give him the election if he became a Blackguard.

A Blackguard is an anti-Paladin. Still Lawful, but Evil. Therefore, McCain was a Paladin who sold his soul in a last chance to win the election.

Now, Obama.

Obama, right now is a Bard. You could say Cleric, but the Charisma is more for Bards.
Some would call him a Paladin, but that is not quite right. I would call him Neutral Good, not Lawful Good.

Obama is a Level 14 Bard. I do not believe he has hit "middle age" in D&D terms yet, so perhaps in offfice he will gain intelligence and wisdom while losing Str and Dex? And Con, right?

Barack Obama
Level 14 Neutral Good Bard (Half-Elf)
Senator, Illinois
Str: 13 (is in good shape)
Dex: 14 (very good at basketball)
Con: 14 (Probably about the same as McCain.)
Int: 16 (He really is a fucking genius, if you hear him talk.)
Wis: 16 (Also high. Admit it, he was right on Iraq in the first place.)
Cha: 20 (as he has gained levels he has put his level 8 and 12 bonus into Charisma, giving him 20, which is possible at level 14. At level 4 he added one point of intelligence.)

Obama's life is interesting. He was neutral, drifted toward chaos, and then toward good, and has been Neutral Good as a community organizer, a state senator, and a senator.

Human peasants are worried Obama, as a half-elf (half-black) will ignore their problems.


Paladins for Obama. Jessrond, level 70, dethecus.
