Cannot implicitly convert typ

Answer 1

Try this:

public T Get(Stats type ) where T : IConvertible
{
    if (typeof(T) == typeof(int))
    {
        return (T)(object)Convert.ToInt16(PlayerStats[type]);

    }
    if (typeof(T) == typeof(string))
    {

        return (T)(object)PlayerStats[type];
    }
}
