roll20 VTT Zero-Lvl Character Macro

[Pesky]

Here is a macro I threw together for the roll20 VTT. This will allow a player to instantly generate all of the rolls necessary to create a character on-screen so that the judge and other players can see them. The results of the rolls are saved in the chat log in case there are any *ahem* "transcription errors" when the character sheet is filled out

This, without question, is vastly inferior to the Purple Sorcerer Character Generator from Jon Marr, however it can be used online real-time with no wondering how many times your player used Jon's generator before he/she sent you the pdf

Hopefully this saves someone a little bit of time...

/me Rolling Zero-Lvl Character
/roll 3d6 for STR

/roll 3d6 for STA
/roll 3d6 for PRS
/roll 3d6 for INT

/roll 1d30 for LuckyRoll
/roll 1d4 for HP
/roll 5d12 for CP

Note that earler I posted a simple character "sheet" template for roll20 here.

I'm guilty of using the Purple Sorcerer thing a whole bunch. But, even if you were to get some great statistical outlier character, you're not going to get 4 of them, heh. I mostly kept rolling to get an interesting mix of characters / backgrounds / lucky rolls.

So while some might frown on it, I'm not sure that it's such a huge deal. Plus, it really doesn't matter, "in the long run we're all dead."

True enough...true enough. There's a large amount "smack talk" at my game (we've all known each other for years), so I was trying to find a way to make sure the smack-talking could continue during character generation

Cool stuff, it's always good to have options on how to do these things!

And I agree that offering 3-5 character sheets to choose from is a kindness that the brutality of the funnel more than compensates for... but I've had visitors to the party generator roll up over a hundred sheets in one sitting. Some players are very determined.
