For those who want to see the Virtues and Sins described in some more detail, follow those links. Keep in mind that there's a second list of virtues, I just used the one appearing higher up on the page. It appears to be the more "official" one.
For that matter, where does your list of virtues come from? And should we use the same list?
It'll be from the associated Christian virtues, which are a combination of Augustine's adaptation of the Platonic virtues and the three theological virtues from Corinthians.
I would tell you, if I could make (or even copy) tables.

Books are a mind-altering substance. Therefore, I am high all the time. My old avatars. Thanks, y'all! Some poetry I've written. Constructive criticism warmly welcomed.
I'm much less certain about the virtues than I am about the vices. Also it should really be noted that ranking the virtues and vices gives no indication of possible weightings.
Hah! I'd just like to point out that I am an agnostic that was raised Adventist, and spent a short run toying with LeVayan Satanism. Given the wonky backround, I've come to feel very strongly that balance between the 14 is the true ideal as opposed to one set of 7 or the other. Roughly speaking, the Virtues stem from Charity (care for others) while the Vices all stem from Pride (care for one's self). If one gets carried away with the former, they end up a martyr. Too far into the latter, and they become a sociopath. That's my view anyway.
Erts: The title of the thread is in regards to said items.
Sorry, it gave me an idea for a simmilar question; what values do you think are the "best"? (Charity, self-dependence, etc, etc. (these are examples, not what I think are good) And, what do you despise the most? (Dishonesty, etc.)
Anyway,
Virtues:
1. Prudence
2. Charity
3. Fortitude
4. Faith (I'm choosing to mean this as "How much you believe in what you believe in, and not in a religious context. I mean, how much do you value your views?)
5. Hope (Same as above, meaning "hope that what you are doing is right.)
6. Justice
7. Temperance
Frankly, a Wizard can suck even more than a Fighter could ever dream of sucking. A Fighter can stab himself to death, but only a Wizard could Plane Shift to some horrible far realm to be tortured for an eternity of insanity.
Here's mine. It's probably going to change in 2 days anyway, so this is right now: (I haven't heard of the "7 deadly sins" all together in 2 years...wow. That's amazing. Compared to how I hear the 7 good ones every single week [except Fortitude. I put Mercy above most of these, but I suppose it fits in Charity], though never all together.) (And I'm not Catholic, so that explains why I hear things differently)
oth
Virtue
Deadly Sin
1st
Charity
Pride
2nd
Faith
Envy
3rd
Hope
Sloth
4th
Justice
Lust
5th
Temperance
Wrath
6th
Fortitude
Gluttony
7th
Prudence
Greed
...Man, those deadly sins were hard to place. I mean, they so rarely come up that I almost forgot about them.
(And the weighting is way off than what this graph makes it appear. Use your imagination to interpret that as you may) And...I appear to have written too many side-comments. Time to delete some.

In both sets, I had three that were pretty much equal (Hope, Charity and Faith/Lust,Wrath, and Greed) and I just had to pick one for each spot, but the others are pretty well put in place.

The virtues aren't terribly solid here on my part. While I feel I have Patience, Humility, and Diligence down pretty extensively and in the right order at the top, I think I have Kindness, Temperance, and Charity in about equal measure.
Now, I can make a new list for what I WISH these were like for me, and what I work towards...
Note: I did the Heavenly Virtues not the Cardinal Virtues.
