This module is a collection of tables that are used to randomly build a character. The only table that should be actively rolled (with one exception) is titled "1 - Character Generation". This will automatically select character race, class, background, two traits, a bond, a flaw, an ideal, and any other random extras from the background. The player is left to decide ability scores, skill selection, gender, equipment, and spells known (if applicable), to name a few. The exception mentioned is that there is a chance the same Trait will be rolled twice. In this case, the player should reroll on the relevant trait table. Currently, the player must also determine physical attributes (height, weight, etc.), but this may be incorporated into the module in the future. Suggestions for other additions are appreciated.
Occasionally, there will be links connected to the results. If the DD PHB Deluxe is owned and open, these links will be active and can be dropped onto the character sheet. However, some things may be missed, so it is ultimately up to the player to make sure that everything is in order on the sheet.
Thank you, and enjoy!
UPDATE 4/11/2018
Hey all! So I finally got around to updating this thing, and boy is it a doozy! Character generation is done entirely through a Story Template named "[First Name] [Last name]". Open the template, hit "Generate" and have fun reading!
Updates:
Added character name generation
Added gender determination
Added ability score rolls
Added links to Elemental Evil Companion races
Added Xanathar's Guide to Everything material, to include:
Class training & feature detail generation
Origin generation
Family generation (parents & siblings)
Upbringing (lifestyle, home, etc.)
Age & Life Events
Background decisions
Edit display formatting via Templates
Grammatical fixes
I really hope you guys enjoy this thing. It uses a ton of interconnected tables, but my goal was for the user to only interface with one (the Template) and then get a really nice, readable story as a result. I cut a lot of links since it messed up the story display. Essential things, like class, race, and background, are still linked, but other stuff like ideals no longer are. You'll just have to copy and paste into the character sheet.
Let me know your thoughts, and feel free to leave a wish list if you're so inclined. I'll try not to wait two years to update again! Thank you!
