2012-10-03 Old School Random Characters

Much like Ramanan Sivaranjan’s beautiful character generator, my character generator allows you to create a random 1st level character. The random character buys equipment with stuff from Moldvay’s Basic D&D equipment tables (the most important difference from Labyrinth Lord being that plate mail costs 60 gp) based on some rules inspired by Brendan’s equipment table. Abilities are rolled 3d6 in order, no switching or trading allowed. Class is picked according to some rules I felt mimicked how I go about these things.

In addition to that, it offers:

  1. German interface
  2. 50 compact characters
  3. statistics on the characters generated
  4. source code
  5. a link that allows you to edit the character in the bottom right corner (will disappear when printed)
  6. you can also bookmark the URL to your character (follow the link in the bottom right corner)

In theory, it should be easy to extend it to show different character sheets – it’s just that I never felt the need for another. Perhaps I will do a Pendragon character sheet (without the random character generation to go along with it: it’s too complex).
