Woohoo! I’ve completed version 1.0 of my Pathfinder NPC generator. For those with the know how to download and run the program you can download it here: Pathfinder v2

For those that don’t you won’t be missing out for long. The next stage of my cunning plan is to implement it into a webpage, so that it looks all shiny and doesn’t need to be run in a terminal window where it looks like this:

The only change since the preliminary version I put up earlier in the week is to add a simple description of the character. The structure of the sentence is the same each time (for the moment at least), but with the options available there are over 7.5 million possible unique character descriptions on offer which will do for the moment.

The finished product will probably have more, but it will also bias descriptions according to race - At the moment it’s possible for an elf to be fat for example, but for the moment at least descriptions according to race is something for a future version, along with more developed stat blocks.

I know descriptions such as eye colour make little or no difference to the game, but that is beside the point it is the little details that matter and it helps out the GM* by doing as much of the legwork for him as possible. That and it will also mean no Dwarves should have to kill themselves because they wind up with an Elvish name.
