Looking for an excel worksheet for character personality/appearance/quirks

[Terwox]

Someone named "agrannimayu" or something... like... that...

Had a little sheet that you could roll some d20's on, and it would give you an appearance, and a personality.

The personality table was roll a d20, then roll another d20, to pick from a list of 400 adjectives.

It was pretty comprehensive, and I really liked using it for making NPC's quickly -- it will give you a little framework, and you can iron out whatever.

Anyway, someone made these tables into an excel worksheet which was excellent -- you just press F9, and it spits out a full person. Press it a few times until you get something interesting, that sort of thing.

Anyway, my hard drive crashed, and now I am sad and without this utility...

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks in advance.

I think this thread is what you're looking
for. In it, there's a PDF with a whole slew of tables and an Excel spreadsheet(though
I haven't loaded it yet.)

hope this helps,

As I recall, PCGen has randomly selected traits for a (N)PC you make. Other than that, this doesn't really neccessitate Excel, just use Tablesmith, Etools or anything else that can select random entries from a list.

That's the one!
Thank you very much, devilish, you've made my NPC and PC creating lifestyle a whole lot happier!

I was fond of that specific list of appearances, quirks, and personality adjectives.

If you're aware of a list that's more robust that what that one provides, I'd be happy to take a look at it.

Also, I'm already marginally proficient with Excel, and I didn't have much luck with TableSmith, and wasn't fond of what I saw of E-tools, besides the original demo that came in the 3.0 PHB, which was completely washed away.
