About the tool


Everything!

This button is used to roll everything - but it does not roll the newly added scrolls and potions. You'll need to roll those separately if you need/want them.  Otherwise, the Everything! button will erase all data and roll up an entirely new character.

Path

This button will only roll a random path and display any stats related to that path. Can be used even after clicking the everything button. Be aware, if you had an extra inclination from Delver and then reroll your path, the tool will not remove your extra inclination. However, if you reroll your inclinations, the update will apply. Otherwise, you can just ignore the extra inclination.

Extra health and circles of sorcery should show up when/if they apply.

Species

This button will only roll a random species. Can be used even after clicking the everything button. Be aware, if you had an extra inclination from Human and then reroll your species, the tool will not remove your extra inclination. However, if you reroll your inclinations, the update will apply. Otherwise, you can just ignore the extra inclination.

Inclinations

I've already spoke briefly about how random inclinations work. The tool should accurately take into account any existing information each time you click the Inclinations button. If no other info has been rolled, this button will give out two random inclinations.

This button will also update your karma since extra karma is tied to inclinations.

Equipment

This button will roll 4 pieces of common equipment and 4 pieces of special equipment. It should not roll duplicates by design (the frequency of duplicates was too high for my liking).

Basics

This button will roll a random name, wealth level, backstory, moral core, and physical description.

The names may seem a little odd at first. I’m using three d8 tables that can make 500+ name combos without hours of text entry. They are gender neutral.

I like the idea of wealth being a random factor. Some groups will set a starting wealth of course. If you're wondering, there's about a 1% chance to roll pauper or kingly wealth. There's also a low chance (about 9%) to get lordly wealth. Moderate and wealthy will be the most common, respectively.

The backstory is fairly simple, but is should be enough to get you started. All the past jobs are based on common historical jobs.

If you’re wondering what the Moral Core is, it’s just my take on alignment. My hope is you can use it along with the backstory to help you come up with some Aspects and/or character drive.  An important thing to keep in mind is that a Flaw might not always be something your character does. For example, if you get the "lies" flaw, it could mean you're bad at telling lies, you lie a lot, or being lied to sends you into a fit of rage. 

The physical description part is also designed to be as gender neutral as possible and should give you just enough to picture a character.

Potions & scrolls

Both of these buttons will give you two random results each. If you need more than that, you'll have to take note of the first two or something. If you only need one result, just take the first potion/scroll.

Reset

If you encounter an issue, try using the Reset button. This button is also good for clearing everything.
