We know our favorite band of plucky kids from "Stranger Things" love the nerdy tabletop role-play game of "Dungeons & Dragons". I do, too. And with the boys referring to their group of friends as "the party" and having assigned each other D&D classes, I can't help but wonder what their character stats would be.
Let's take a look, shall we?

Of course, when making actual character sheets for a fun game of "Dungeons & Dragons," you'd be rolling your dice to determine your character's stats, but for this, I figured it'd be okay to bend the rules a little bit and assign them stats I thought appropriate. And, just as an FYI for anyone who understands how the game really works, the basic stats are based more on the characters' already existing personalities and have not taken into account how the modifiers would affect their decisions based on their assigned party classes (i.e. an arcana check would add the intelligence modifier to the player's, so, as a mage, Eleven would want a higher intelligence when assigning what she rolled to her character. Because I've based the assigned statistics with zero regards to their classes, this is not reflected.).
Watch "Stranger Things" for the first (or hundredth) time on Netflix!
