NPC generator table for AD&D 1st Edition #dnd


 

Hi, shot in the dark, but has anyone ever made a table to produce AD&D characters above 1st level? Would save me a coding run! :)


 

I have one, to generate NPC parties in the manner that is outlined in the DMG and Fiend Folio, but it's only partly working at the moment (it nicely generates level 1 PCs that adhere very minimally to the rules)

I can post it if you wish - I'd love to get some feedback. It's a little... kludgy


 

Please! That would be great. Thank you

Hi Hugh - sorry about the wait. Left my computer at work.

I've not posted a file to the group, before. Bear with me a minute. If you want to get the names files I have for some of this stuff, it's all on my Github, which might be easier to manage. At the moment it will not differentiate between 1st level NPCs and any higher levels (hit points/HD are not implemented). It could easily be hooked up to my magic item things, but I haven't got that far just yet (I stole some of the Francophone names from Darkest Dungeon's settings files!)

I will try to post the code into the files section in a moment, but here is a link to my github repository (I just dropped the NMS_AD&D_NPCs.tab in there now)



A sample of the output for the AD&D NPC generator is:

Lanquetot, Human Cleric 1, NG, S 14, I 12,W 13,D 14,Cn 14,Ch 10, Mace, Studded Leather Armor

Courcy, Half-Elf Fighter 1, LE, S 13, I 11,W 10,D 15,Cn 16,Ch 14, Long Sword, Padded Armor

Anoryal, Halfling Druid 1, Neutral, S 12, I 11,W 12,D 10,Cn 11,Ch 17, Staff, Padded Armor

Eveque, Half-Elf Cleric 1, LE, S 12, I 10,W 14,D 15,Cn 8,Ch 10, Club, Studded Leather Armor

Sorry to spam, but I realized when I browsed the code that I did actually include the transcribed items list from the DMG/FF charts so

I think I got about 75% of the way through when I got distracted by illness but the framework is there


 

Got it - thanks very much :) When I'm not 3 beers in I'll swap for what I have, which does a very thorough job at L1 but now my DM wants me to expand it to higher levels, doh!


 

I've uploaded a ZIP to the Files section with my attempt, great for 1st, daunted by the workload of higher levels! Plus spellbook generation. Under??D&D 1st NPC and Spellbooks.zip. Hope it's useful
