Back in AD&D 2e there was such a random table. Player's Option: Skills & Powers p.9 to 11, Character Backgrounds. I give you the entries below, but for the description of these entries, you will need to see the book:scadgrad said:I recall a random chart where you could roll & determine why a particular PC became an adventurer. For the life of me, I just can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is? Was? Any ideas of another option?
Taneel BrightBlade said:they have several background charts in the herobuilder's guild
Turanil said:You probably mean Hero Builder's Guide don't you?
This is a 64 pages splatbook of 11$ for 3.0. Most reviews say things like: "Overall: Experienced players? Forget it. Major waste of money. If you are new, or (you're like me) you're a DM that has a lot of firsttime players, I'd take a serious look at this volume."
I could possibly OCR the POS&P pages on the backgrounds and post them here, if some are interested in it, and it doesn't infringe on morality (i.e.: copyrights) too much.

Hey Turanil. That would be really cool if you could do that.
