Character Generator (sort of) with Tables

[RCathcart]

Lately, I've been experimenting with tables, and started using tables within tables.

With the charts below, I set up a random class, race, background (with personality, ideal, bond and flaw) rolls. I roll once on the Character table and ALL the other tables are appropriately rolled. It was a fun experiment.

When everything is rolled (it shows up in the Chat Window), I just drag the various badges onto a character sheet and viola!

I'm working on getting starting equipment into more unified table (drag and drop) form. The way that starting class equipment, background equipment and starting gold are in different places in the PH is cumbersome.

Nice one - Tables are fun. You could set up a bit of a Solo Dungeon experiment this way too...

Thanks!

Getting a good character generation scheme with equipment is a bit tougher because the equipment packages vary and FG's "items/parcels" is so limited. I came up with this.

You'll notice that I make a notation for "Starting gold" in the class entry. There is no way to drag and drom this, as far as I can tell. Just have to roll the dice and enter the gold manually.

Then there's the equipment allotment according to background. It kind of is its own little maze.

In doing this, I've been frustrated most by parcels. Parcels cannot do a number of things I really think they should:

1) You can't drag and drop parcels into character sheets.
2) You can't incorporate tables into parcels (like have an entry that calls to a "Random Ring" table or something). Think of how awesome that would be!
3) You can't randomize gold/coinage in parcels. So there is not way to put 5d10 gold.

I'm probably going to repost my parcels problem on the main forum board to get some feedback. It's not just a 5e thing.
