🎭 Character Generator

A ready-to-play adventurer in seconds

Need a quick player character, a pre-generated hero for a one-shot, or a spark when your imagination's empty? Tap Roll character and you get the lot: a name, race and class, a background, six ability scores rolled with the classic 4d6 drop lowest method, a personality trait, a flaw, and a reason they walk into danger. Copy it into your notes or carry it over to the Character Sheet to flesh out.

About the ability scores

Each score is rolled as four six-sided dice with the lowest die dropped — the most common method for heroic characters — and the modifier is shown beneath it. Re-roll as many times as you like until you get a hero you want to play.

Make the prompt fit your rules and story

The six rolls stay in STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS and CHA order; the tool does not optimize them for the class it picked. If your game allows rearranging scores, move the highest score to the ability that drives the class. Then connect the background, flaw and motive with one sentence. A calm grave-digger hunting a mentor's killer might have learned patience while preparing the bodies left by that same enemy. That connection is more useful at the table than rerolling until every field looks perfect.

Ancestries and archetypes are broad project labels, and the output is a prompt rather than an official character build. See how the random generators work for the exact score formula and limits.

Which system is it for?

It uses six familiar abilities and 4d6-drop-lowest, so it is aimed at d20-style fantasy. Check your own rulebook before using the scores or class label.

Can I keep a character I rolled?

Use Copy, or rebuild it on the saveable Character Sheet. Rolling happens entirely in your browser.

How are the dice rolled?

4d6, drop the lowest die, for each of the six abilities — using your browser's random generator.
