Method 1: Roll 3d8 and then 1d30 on each chart as indicated by the 3d8 rolls. The first two d30 rolls are primary traits and the last d30 roll is a secondary trait. Two „good‰ primary traits
indicate a good-aligned NPC, two „bad/evil‰ primary traits indicate an evil-aligned NPC, and any other combination results in a neutral-aligned NPC.

Method 2: Roll 1d30 on the table below and then 1d30 for each of the charts as indicated in brackets [#]. The NPCs general alignment is indicated as well as two primary traits and one
secondary trait. If you require a specifically-aligned NPC, either switch around the character traits or roll 1d12 for good NPCs, 1d6+12 for neutral NPCs, and 1d12+18 for evil NPCs.
