Frequently Asked Questions

What edition of D&D does this generate for?

This generator produces characters compatible with D&D 5th Edition (5e), the most popular tabletop RPG ruleset. The ability score ranges, class feature notes, and background mechanics all reference 5e rules. The output is not official D&D content — it's a creative starting point.

What are the D&D 5e ability scores?

The six ability scores are: Strength (physical power), Dexterity (agility and reflexes), Constitution (health and endurance), Intelligence (memory and reasoning), Wisdom (perception and insight), and Charisma (force of personality). Standard array values at level 1: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 — assign to abilities based on your class.

What is a D&D background?

Your background represents what you did before adventuring — Soldier, Acolyte, Criminal, Sage, Noble, etc. Each background provides two skill proficiencies, a tool proficiency, languages, starting equipment, and a special feature. Your background also anchors your backstory in the world.

What are personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws?

These four elements define your character's roleplaying pillars: Trait (a quirk or habit — 'I use polysyllabic words to sound more educated'), Ideal (a deeply held principle — 'Fairness above all'), Bond (a person/place/thing they care about — 'I will protect my village no matter the cost'), and Flaw (a weakness or vice — 'I have trouble trusting anyone'). D&D 5e uses these for roleplaying and Inspiration rewards.
