Presentation of the Random Hero Generator tool
I am a fan of special runs of games and in particular randomized runs so I created a "tool" (it's basically an excel sheet) that automatically randomize your customization options.
The list of randomized element is:
  • Custom vs Origin story (each having 50% chance)
  • Race and Gender if custom (Race is 20% chance including Undead and if you are Undead you have a 25% chance of being a version of each other race; gender is obviously 50/50% chance)
  • Preset (Can be used or during character creation just for starting weapons or when you meet new companions; each having 1/14 chance)
    *Weapon type used by your character (One handed, Two Handed, Dual Wield and Ranged; each having 25% chance)
  • Combat skills/Spell schools (You get 3 seperate rolls to decide of your 3 points with a 10% chance for each and possibility to have several times the same school)
  • Civil skills
  • Origin tags (Two tags are rolled seperately including a "No tag" choice, in the outcome where you get twice the same tag you can decide to have only this tag or to choose your second tag yourself, it's the Joker option; 1/8 chance each)
    *Instrument (25% chance each)

The idea is to have your starting hero(es) made by "chance" and then adapt to the build(s) you are being given. I let by default the choice of stat points and spells to let the chance to have decent builds no matter what. I suggest you stick to the combat and civil skills chosen by the generator only to really focus on what has been given to you.

It's a google-doc sheet, you can use it in your browser or download it locally if you want, I will update the sheet directly based on feedback. All the instructions to use the sheet are inside and I let the Data spreadsheet so you can see how it has been created. You can share it as much as you want just mention it was made by me please.

Feedback is very much welcomed and will be taken into consideration to improve the tool (including feedback on the presentation of the tool).

I hope you enjoy the tool!

I would love to make a rogue-like special mode where you chain fights over and over against random enemies with random skillbook drops and loot but that would be extremly hard if not impossible to make.
