[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 4460128, member: 467"] One Million Swords Every magical sword should be unique, with its own story. That being the case, I present "One Million Swords", a random sword generator for those +1's to +5's you roll up in treasure hoards. No accounting has been made for edition. A. Name I (roll 1d10) 1: 1d6: 1-3=Dawn, 4-6=Dusk 2: 1d6: 1-3=Day, 4-6=Night 3: 1d6: 1-3=Light, 4-6=Dark 4: 1d6: 1-2=Bone, 3-4=Skull, 5-6=Blood 5: 1d6: 1-2=Heart, 3-4=Life, 5-6=Soul 6: Roll on table C (use singular form) 7: [Personal Name] 8: [Nation Name] 9: [Deity Name] 10: Open Dictionary or Thesaurus to random page. B. Name II (roll 1d8) 1: ['s] Blade/Sword 2: Cutter/Cleaver 3: Slayer/Reaver 4: Star/Sun/Moon 5: Shield/Arm/Hand 6: Drinker/Eater/Devourer 7: ['s] Bane 8: Tooth/Claw/Sting C. Who/what forged the sword? (roll 1d6+magical bonus) 2: Humans 3: Dwarves 4: Elves 5: Goblinoids 6: Orcs 7: Ogres/Trolls/Giants 8: Dragons 9: Demons/Dark Gods 10: Angels/Good Gods 11: Forged by Deed (spontaneous enchantment0 D. Who was the first wielder/owner of the sword? (roll 1d6+magical bonus) 2: Slave 3: Commoner/Serf 4: Freeman 5: Noble 6: Champion (of race/nation) 7: Champion (of ideal/deity/religion) 8: King/Queen 9: Divine Pawn/Hero (Perseus, Beowulf, etc..) 10: Demi-god 11: Deity E. What circumstances is the sword famous for being used in? (roll 1d6) 1: War against (roll on table C). 2: Defense/service of forger's/owner's nation/race/religion 3: Against forger's/owner's nation/race/religion. 4: Personal gain/agenda. 5: During major historical event. 6: In the name of love/honor/loyalty/etc... F. Under what circumstances did the original owner lose the weapon? (roll 1d6) 1: Passed it on (heir/student) 2: Sword lost (accidental) 3: Died in battle 4: Sword stolen 5: Stripped of weapon by (roll on table D 1d6+5) 6: Sword "chose" new owner G: Under what circumstances did/does the sword reappear? (roll 1d6) 1: "Naturally" (when found, etc...) 2: By calendar (roll 1d6: 1-2=annual, 3-4=decades, 5-6=century) 3: By generation (roll 1d6: 1-2=each generation, 3-4=every d12 genrations, 5-6=every d100 generations) 4: During times of great (roll 1d6: 1-3=fortune/abundance, 4-6= great strife/hardship) 5: By the will of a deity/power. 6: Of its own accord. F: Who wa the most recent owner of the sword? (roll 1d6) 1: Original Owner. 2: Roll on table D. 3: (typical) Adventurer. 4: Choose character at random & roll 1d6: 1-2: Ancestor, 3-4: Loved One, 5-6: Personal Enemy. 5: Famous Figure. 6: Infamous Figure. g: Who seeks the sword now? (roll ontable F). I don't know if that adds up to a million possible combinations, but it's a start. If you do roll up a random sword with this set of tables, let me know what you come up with, and flesh it out a little. As always, DM's are free to re-roll or simply choose. And, of course, feel free to expand the charts and let me know what you change or add. [/QUOTE]
