[b]Step 4: Determine Parents Siblings[/b] Next roll a d6 to determine who each of your father and mothers siblings are. 1-2 You Parents Older Brother/Sister 3-4 Your Parents Younger Brother/Sister 5 Parents Illegitimate Older Brother/Sister 6 Parents Illegitimate Younger Brother/Sister [b]Step 5: Determine Your Siblings[/b] Then roll a d20 to determine the relation of each of your siblings to you. 1-4 Your Younger Brother/Sister 5-8 Your Older Brother/Sister 9-10 Your Younger Illegitimate Brother/Sister 11-12 Your Older Illegitimate Brother/Sister 13-14 Brother/sister In Law (must have at least one brother or sister who is married to apply) 15-17 First Cousin, Fathers Side 18-20 First Cousin, Mothers Side [b]Step 6: Determine Siblings Status[/b] Then roll a d8 for each and consult this table to determine their current status. 1-2 Alive, unmarried 3-4 Alive, unmarried 5-6 Dead, was married 7-8 Dead, was never married [b]Step 7: Determine Cause of Death (if any), Male[/b] Roll a d20 for each deceased male sibling in order to determine how they died. 1-3 Sickness 4-6 Old Age (reroll where appropriate) 7-9 Accident 10 Murdered 11-12 Killed by Monsters 13 Captured by Monsters 14-15 Died in battle, Personal Feud 16-17 Died in battle, Family Adversary 18-19 Died in Battle, For Country 20 Mystery [b]Step 8: Determine Cause of Death (if any), Female[/b] Roll a d20 for each deceased female sibling in order to determine how they died. 1-3 Sickness 4-6 Old Age (reroll where appropriate) 7-9 Accident 10 Murdered 11-12 Killed by Monsters 13 Captured by Monsters 14-15 Kidnapped 16-17 Murdered, Family Adversary 18-19 Entered Clergy 20 Mystery [b]Step 9: Determine Class of Siblings[/b] Next roll a d12 in order to determine what class the sibling has levels in. 1-2 Commoner 3-4 Expert 5-7 Aristocrat 8-9 Adept 10-11 Warrior 12 Core Class (Roll on core Class table) [b]Step 9a: Determine Core Class[/b] For those siblings who have levels in a Core Class they roll a d20 on the following table to determine which one. 1 Barbarian 2-3 Bard 4-5 Cleric 6 Druid 7-9 Fighter 10 Monk 11-13 Noble 14 Paladin 15 Ranger 16-17 Rogue 18 Sorcerer 19-20 Wizard [b]Step 10: Determine Level[/b] Level for Younger siblings is 1d4-1, levels for Older siblings (or younger parents siblings) is 1d6+1, levels for Older parents siblings is 2d6+2. 1-4 Single Class 5-6 Multiclassed [/QUOTE]
