Quick Roll Character Tables
Want to roll a character all at once without having to look at the rulebook? Tired of players poring over the equipment & spell lists, or agonizing over which class to take? Need some NPCs in a jiffy? Have a late or lazy player that wants to jump in with a character quickly?

Simply roll 3d6 nine times and mark down the results! (Sorry, Blogger wouldn’t let me make it long sideways, so I’ve cut it in two and stacked it below)
