Very Fast & Largely Determined By Stochastic or Pseudostochastic Methodologies Auto D&D PC Generator

As an esteemed game designer points out...

He's missing languages and alignment. Also, he's not using the rule that allows you to reroll HP if you get 1-2 at first level.

Zak Smith10:29 AMEdit

He must figure choosing language and alignment is trivial (workloadwise) and important enough (character designwise) to pick after the fact

Just saying. Not instant or random.

"Very Fast and Largely Determined Via Stochastic or PseudoStochastic Methodologies"?

He's also doesn't pick Magic-User spells for you.

Anyway it rolls 3d6 in order for you and picks class based on the best stat

Ramanan Sivaranjan said...: Hilarious. Where was this discussion happening? Yeah, I was trying to churn out the mechanical stuff. I could pick random alignments and languages, but that seems like maybe it should be a player choice. It lists when you have bonus languages now. I'm going to add random spells next.; September 16, 2012 at 1:26 PM
Ramanan Sivaranjan said...: Also there isn't a rule about re-rolling HP. You could just re-roll the character, anyway.; September 16, 2012 at 1:27 PM
Jack Guignol said...: Wad Luke Crane really complaining about a FREE generator that someone put out just because it would be cool?; September 16, 2012 at 3:52 PM
Zak Sabbath said...: Quoth Luke after this blog post: "I think this is a fun tool. I'm being cheeky pointing out the things he missed. But if I were using it, I'd want a complete character so I could click and go."

Quoth the inventor, now:
"It now does a random spell if you're a magic user, and picks random languages if you get any. (Based on the tables in the Moldvay book.)

I'm assuming 'Floating Disc', 'Magic Missile', 'Shield', 'Ventriloquism' were all added in Greyhawk?"

all this is happening on G+; September 16, 2012 at 3:54 PM
