Random Character Generator

Roll a complete tabletop hero in one click: race, class, background, alignment, six ability scores and a quirk. Looking for a costume or a cartoon character idea instead? This tool is built for D&D-style games; see DiceKite for other generators.

Roll a full character in one click

Press roll and the tool picks a race, class, background and alignment from the free D&D fifth edition SRD options, then rolls six ability scores and adds a quirk to play. Lock the race or class if you already know what you want, and re-roll the rest until the character feels right. See how DiceKite picks results.

Each roll picks a race, class, background and alignment with equal odds, rolls six ability scores by the method you choose and adds a one-line quirk. The races, classes and backgrounds follow the free Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition System Reference Document, so the result fits most tabletop games.

Three ways to roll ability scores

Choose four six-sided dice dropping the lowest, three dice straight, or the standard array of fixed numbers. The table shows the score range each method can produce and how often the four-dice method beats three dice, worked out from the method itself.

The averages and odds come from counting every possible dice outcome (1,296 for 4d6 and 216 for 3d6). Pick 4d6 for heroic characters, 3d6 for a gritty game and the standard array when everyone at the table should start equal.

The modifier is the score minus ten, divided by two and rounded down. A score of 15 gives +2, a 10 gives +0 and an 8 gives −1. The sheet shows it next to every score so you can start playing right away.

Copy the character sheet

Copy sheet puts the whole character in plain text, ready to paste into a chat, a notes app or a virtual table. Nothing is saved on the site, so copy the sheet before you roll again if you want to keep it for the next session. Only free SRD content is used; no paid races or classes.

• Lock the race or the class and re-roll everything else until the combination feels right.
• Swap two ability scores to fit your class; most tables allow this.
• Treat the quirk as an invitation: ask how it started and who noticed it first.

The picks use your browser’s cryptographic random source with rejection sampling, so each option has an equal chance. Nothing you roll is sent to a server.
