Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hriston" data-source="post: 7820463" data-attributes="member: 6787503">Hi,I've put together some tables for randomly generating a D&D 5E character's background. They're based on a mash-up of the Secondary Skills table on p 12 of the AD&D 1E DMG and the Social Class tables on p 82 of the 1E UA. The procedure is to generate a lifestyle first and then roll on the appropriate subtable for a background. This is not meant to be descriptive of general setting demographics, but rather to describe the background of a typical adventurer in a particular setting.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Lifestyle</td></tr><tr><td>01-10 </td><td>Poor (could be Wretched or Squalid at the player's discretion), see subtable</td></tr><tr><td>11-20 </td><td>Modest, see subtable</td></tr><tr><td>21-55 </td><td>Comfortable, see subtable</td></tr><tr><td>56-87 </td><td>Wealthy, see subtable</td></tr><tr><td>88-00 </td><td>Aristocratic, see subtable</td></tr></table>Poor subtable<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Background</td></tr><tr><td>01-16 </td><td>Charlatan</td></tr><tr><td>17-22 </td><td>Criminal</td></tr><tr><td>23-24 </td><td>Entertainer</td></tr><tr><td>25-53 </td><td>Folk Hero</td></tr><tr><td>54-69 </td><td>Hermit</td></tr><tr><td>70-81 </td><td>Outlander</td></tr><tr><td>82-83 </td><td>Sailor</td></tr><tr><td>84 </td><td>Soldier</td></tr><tr><td>85-00 </td><td>Urchin</td></tr></table>Modest subtable<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Background</td></tr><tr><td>01-02 </td><td>Acolyte</td></tr><tr><td>03-18 </td><td>Charlatan</td></tr><tr><td>19-24 </td><td>Criminal</td></tr><tr><td>25-26 </td><td>Entertainer</td></tr><tr><td>27-52 </td><td>Folk Hero</td></tr><tr><td>53-68 </td><td>Hermit</td></tr><tr><td>69-79 </td><td>Outlander</td></tr><tr><td>80-81 </td><td>Sage</td></tr><tr><td>82-83 </td><td>Sailor</td></tr><tr><td>84 </td><td>Soldier</td></tr><tr><td>85-00 </td><td>Urchin</td></tr></table>Comfortable subtable<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Background</td></tr><tr><td>01-03 </td><td>Acolyte</td></tr><tr><td>04-06 </td><td>Entertainer</td></tr><tr><td>07-45 </td><td>Folk Hero</td></tr><tr><td>46-67 </td><td>Guild Artisan</td></tr><tr><td>68 </td><td>Noble</td></tr><tr><td>69-92 </td><td>Outlander</td></tr><tr><td>93-95 </td><td>Sage</td></tr><tr><td>96-98 </td><td>Sailor</td></tr><tr><td>99-00 </td><td>Soldier</td></tr></table>Wealthy subtable<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Background</td></tr><tr><td>01-04 </td><td>Acolyte</td></tr><tr><td>05-09 </td><td>Entertainer</td></tr><tr><td>10-57 </td><td>Folk Hero</td></tr><tr><td>58-89 </td><td>Guild Artisan</td></tr><tr><td>90 </td><td>Noble</td></tr><tr><td>91-94 </td><td>Sage</td></tr><tr><td>95-98 </td><td>Sailor</td></tr><tr><td>99-00 </td><td>Soldier</td></tr></table>Aristocratic subtable<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d100 </td><td>Background</td></tr><tr><td>01-04 </td><td>Acolyte</td></tr><tr><td>05-60 </td><td>Folk Hero</td></tr><tr><td>61-68 </td><td>Noble</td></tr><tr><td>69-72 </td><td>Sage</td></tr><tr><td>73-89 </td><td>Sailor</td></tr><tr><td>90-00 </td><td>Soldier</td></tr></table></blockquote>
