I took <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs" target="_blank">Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs</a> and made a list of 30 needs. The hierarchy is in five tiers, with the lowest being the most fundamental and the highest being the most abstract or esoteric. Hence the five sets of six needs. This division also makes it easy to roll 1d6 for a given tier. Decide what tier you want an NPC to be at and roll. Or roll 1d6, 1d12, 1d18, 1d24, or 1d30. Start from the bottom with air as 1. The first six are animal needs, the rest are increasing levels of abstract human needs. Fun little random chart. Air. Water. Food. Shelter. Sleep. Reproduction. Clothing. Safety (personal). Health & Wellbeing. Stable Environment. Financial Security. Safety Nets. Family. Friendship. Community. Romantic Relationships. Group Membership. Affection & Intimacy. Self Respect. Confidence. Respect from Others. Reputation. Recognition. Achievement. Creativity. Personal Growth. Moral Development. Pursuit of Meaning. Purpose-Driven Action. Peak Experience.</blockquote>
