Test Ideas for Stats/Skills
Heya. I'm DMing for my group of friends and, for a short campaign, decided to try something new. Translating IRL Stats into DnD. It's not the most new or unique thing, but instead of one or two general tests for each stat, I wanted a more comprehensive set of tests for each one.
For example, Wisdom would have five tests for its five skills: Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Perception and Survival.
Got an idea from a YouTube video I watched for Perception for something like Where's Waldo.
For Strength and Con, I'd probably do a set of strength and endurance tests at the gym.
Arcana could be tech-related things, religion being mythology questions, and investigation being to solve something from Cryptic Killers, and either splitting them into groups or basing off of contribution.
For Charisma, I was thinking we could do some Karaoke for Performance... and a Staring Contest for Intimidation? Though I suppose Con would fit that better.
Blind Man's Bluff for Stealth could be fun too.
All in all, I want to have a decent number of tests for each stat and am hoping you could help out with some ideas.
