d100 Parents
This Is Your Life Expanded
Xanathar's Guide to Everything introduced several tables you
can roll on in order to determine your character's backstory.
While useful, it's also quite limited in its design. This PDF is
meant to expand upon it, adding a ton of new options to what
exists, as well as entirely new tables. Some tables, however,
were absorbed into others or removed entirely. Weird Stuff
was a rather undefined category that had events that very
easily fit into other categories, so that one was absorbed. The
Class Training tables were removed entirely, as I felt they
were unnecessary. All of your other background options
should shape your character more than enough for you to
decide what class your character should be.
As a reminder, these are ideas, not rules. If you do not want
to leave the fate of your backstory up to a die roll, you can
simply choose from the list. Alternatively, if you do decide to
roll, you can ignore the roll you get if it directly contradicts
something else you already have. Understand that these
ideas are not set in stone. You are free to add on to, change,
or even ignore your results. The most important thing is that
you enjoy your character's backstory and that it makes sense!
It's also important to realize that not every roll you get is
going to make immediate sense. Take some time to think it
through and try to develop a reason for it to make sense. If it
really doesn't work out, you can always choose a different one
or roll again!
Origins
Even though what you do with the gift of life is what matters,
the circumstances of your birth are far from irrelevant. Who
were your parents? Where were you born? Did you have any
siblings? Who raised you?
Parents

Personal Decisions
You became who you are today as a cumulative result of all
the decisions you've made throughout your life. What is your
reason or purpose for becoming what your background and
class say you are?
Background
Roll on the appropriate table in this section as soon as you
decide your background. If a background includes a special
decision point, such as a folk hero's defining event, you
should determine that before you use the pertinent table.
Acolyte
d10 I became an acolyte because...
1 I ran away from home at an early age and found
refuge in a temple
2 My family gave me to a temple, since they were
either unable or unwilling to take care of me
3 I grew up in a household with strong religious
convictions. Entering the service of one or more
gods seemed natural
4 An impassioned sermon struck a chord deep in my
soul and moved me to serve the faith
5 I followed a childhood friend, a respected
acquaintance, or someone I loved into religious
service
6 After encountering a true servant of the gods, I was
so inspired that I immediately entered the service of
a religious group
7 I was directly contacted by a god. The encounter
compelled me to serve that god in any way I can.
8 I, or a family member or friend, suffered a traumatic
fate. After that, I felt I had no one else to talk to,
except the gods.
9 I was once possessed by a ghost or demon, and a
cleric/ paladin freed me. I felt I owed his/ her god a
life debt.
10 I did some terrible things when I was younger. I came
to regret what I had done, and decided that
becoming a divine servant was the best path to
redemption.
Charlatan
d10 I became a charlatan because...
1 I was left to my own devices, and my knack for
manipulating others helped me survive
2 I learned early on that people are gullible and easy to
exploit
3 I often got in trouble, but I managed to talk my way
out of it every time
4 I took up with a confidence artist, from whom I
learned my craft
5 After a charlatan fleeced my family, I decided to learn
the trade so I would never be fooled by such
deception again
6 I was poor or I feared becoming poor, so I learned the
tricks needed to keep myself out of poverty
7 If I don't exploit them, then someone else will. If
someone's going to do it, might as well be me
8 I want others to become wiser people. Unfortunately,
the best way to learn is through failure
9 Money is a very valuable, but also volatile object. If
people aren't smart enough to use their money
wisely, then they don't deserve to have it
10 I absolutely loved dressing up and pretending as a
child. It's like they always say: never do something
you're good at for free.
Criminal
d10 I became a criminal because...
1 I resented authority in my younger days and saw a life
of crime as the best way to fight against tyranny and
oppression
2 Necessity forced me to take up the life, since it was
the only way I could survive
3 I fell in with a gang of reprobates and ne'er-do-wells,
and I learned my specialty from them
4 A parent or relative taught me my criminal specialty
to prepare me for the family business
5 I left home and found a place in a thieves' guild or
some other criminal organization
6 I was always bored, so I turned to crime to pass the
time and discovered I was quite good at it
7 My family member/ close friend was ill, and I had no
other way to get what he/ she needed to live
8 I thought the law was unjust. Lawful does not mean
moral
9 I was trying to take down the crime syndicate from
the inside
10 I was offered a considerable amount of money to
complete the job
Entertainer
d10 I became an entertainer because...
1 Members of my family made ends meet by
performing, so it was fitting for me to follow their
example
2 I always had a keen insight into other people, enough
so that I could make them laugh or cry with my
stories or songs
3 I ran away from home to follow a minstrel troupe
4 I saw a bard perform once, and I knew from that
moment on what I was born to do
5 I earned coin by performing on street corners and
eventually made a name for myself
6 A traveling entertainer took me in and taught me the
trade
7 I discovered that there is nothing I love more than
making people happy, even if for only a moment
8 I was a part of a thieves' guild, where I learned that
the best way to distract someone is with
entertainment
9 I love helping and healing people, and laughter is the
best medicine
10 I've gathered many stories in my lifetime. The best
way to teach others is through the lenses of others
who came before them
Folk Hero
d10 I became a folk hero because...
1 I learned what was right and wrong from my family
2 I was always enamored by tales of heroes and wished
I could be something more than ordinary
3 I hated my mundane life, so when it was time for
someone to step up and do the right thing, I took my
chance
4 A parent or one of my relatives was an adventurer,
and I was inspired by that person's courage
5 A mad old hermit spoke a prophecy when I was born,
saying that I would accomplish great things
6 I have always stood up for those who are weaker than
I am
7 A friend or family member was slain in battle, so I
trained to one day avenge him or her
8 I do the dirty work so my family can sleep peacefully.
I get dirty, and the world stays clean
9 I accidentally killed a giant monster that was
terrorizing my town. They think of me as a hero, but I
just happened to be in the right place at the right
time
10 I spread a lie that I was a hero. Somebody else saved
the village, but I took the credit
Guild Artisan
d10 I became a guild artisan because...
1 I was apprenticed to a master who taught me the
guild's business
2 I helped a guild artisan keep a secret or complete a
task, and in return I was taken on as an apprentice
3 One of my family members who belonged to the
guild made a place for me
4 I was always good with my hands, so I took the
opportunity to learn a trade
5 I wanted to get away from my home situation and
start a new life
6 I learned the essentials of my craft from a mentor but
had to join the guild to finish my training
7 There was not, and never will be, a higher-paying job
than weapons manufacturing
8 I wanted to make a difference, but I didn't care much
for the fame. My work spoke for itself
9 I had always dreamed of developing technology as
powerful as magic. A guild is the best place to start
10 I wanted to, one day, be the head of a massive guild.
The most straightforward method was getting in at
the ground level, and working my way up.
Hermit
d10 I became a hermit because...
1 My enemies ruined my reputation, and I fled to the
wilds to avoid further disparagement
2 I am comfortable with being isolated, as I seek inner
peace
3 I never liked the people I called my friends, so it was
easy for me to strike out on my own
4 I felt compelled to forsake my past, but did so with
great reluctance, and sometimes I regret making that
decision
5 I lost everything-my home, my family, my friends.
Going it alone was all I could do
6 Society's decadence disgusted me, so I decided to
leave it behind
7 I did something that was taboo or unlawful, and was
exiled from my hometown
8 A lot of bad people were after me, so to ensure my
family would be safe, I fled from my home
9 I met a family of druids who lived among the forest.
They were far more happy than I was living in society,
so I joined them
10 I sought answers to questions that people in my
hometown couldn't give me. The only place I could
get them is beyond the safety of my city's walls
Noble
d10 I became a noble because...
1 I come from an old and storied family, and it fell to
me to preserve the family name
2 My family has been disgraced, and I intend to clear
our name
3 My family recently came by its title, and that
elevation thrust us into a new and strange world
4 My family has a title, but none of my ancestors have
distinguished themselves since we gained it
5 My family is filled with remarkable people. I hope to
live up to their example
6 I hope to increase my family's power and influence
7 I fell in love with a prince or princess
8 A great entity wanted influence with the higher-ups
of society, and it used me as its hand
9 I wanted to destroy a people, and there was no worse
defeat than a political one
10 I wanted a lot of money, and it's much easier to
obtain money illegally when you make the laws
Outlander
d10 I became an outlander because...
1 I spent a lot of time in the wilderness as a youngster,
and I came to love that way of life
2 From a young age, I couldn't abide by the stink of the
cities and preferred to spend my time in nature
3 I came to understand the darkness that lurks in the
wilds, and I vowed to combat it
4 My people lived on the edges of civilization, and I
learned the methods of survival from my family
5 After a tragedy, I retreated to the wilderness, leaving
my old life behind
6 My family moved away from civilization, and I learned
to adapt to my new environment
7 I was separated from my family in an
extradimensional plane, where I learned to survive on
my own
8 My hometown was destroyed in a war. Since then,
I've had nothing else except the wild
9 There was no honor nor sport in going to the market
to buy meat. I prefer to look my prey in the eyes
10 I lived in a very small, remote village. It was my duty
to leave and find a new place for my people to live.
Sage
d10 I became a sage because...
1 I was naturally curious, so I packed up and went to a
university to learn more about the world
2 My mentor's teachings opened my mind to new
possibilities in that field of study
3 I was always an avid reader, and I learned much about
my favorite topic on my own
4 I discovered an old library and pored over the texts I
found there. That experience awakened a hunger for
more knowledge
5 I impressed a wizard who told me I was squandering
my talents and should seek out an education to take
advantage of my gifts
6 One of my parents or a relative gave me a basic
education that whetted my apetite, and I left home to
build on what I had learned
7 I stumbled upon ancient ruins, which held a book of
ancient texts. After reading it, I felt an unwavering
desire to learn more
8 My hometown has always been under the effect of a
terrible curse. I decided I wanted to research and find
a way to remove it
9 A family member or a friend was trapped inside a
transdimensional portal. I hoped to uncover the
knowledge needed to save him/ her
10 I once met a being of incomprehensible power. I
devoted my life to understanding what it was that I
saw
Sailor
d10 I became a sailor because...
1 I was press-ganged by pirates and forced to serve on
their ship until I finally escaped
2 I wanted to see the world, so I signed on as a deck-
hand for a merchant ship
3 One of my relatives was a sailor who took me to sea
4 I needed to escape my community quickly, so I
stowed away on a ship

on a ship until I could seek vengeance
6 I had few prospects where I was living, so I left to
find my fortune elsewhere
7 A giant sea monster destroyed one of my parents'
ships, so I wanted to avenge him/ her
8 I find the open sea to be the most peaceful
environment on the planet
9 A relative's or a friend's ship was lost at sea. I hope to
one day find it.
10 It's much easier to hide a body in the ocean than it is
on land
Soldier

1 I joined the militia to help protect my community
from monsters
2 A relative of mine was a soldier, and I wanted to carry
on the family tradition
3 The local lord forced me to enlist in the army

company, selling my sword to the highest bidder

take up arms in defense of my people

people to be soldiers in my family were on the wrong
side of history.

arms in his/ her name

raised myself

back
9 My parents messed with some arcane runes they
shouldn't have, and they suddenly disappeared
without a trace
10 A genie promised me three wishes, but contorted
what I wanted. Now, I'm all alone
Life Events
Regardless of your age, you have undoubtedly encountered at
least one major event in your life; something that molded you
into the person you are today. These life events could be
anything you can possibly imagine, whether it be losing a
loved one or being visited by a unicorn. These events can
help explain why your character became an adventurer, and
some might still affect your life even after they are long over.
In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, everything is far
too uncertain and random for your age to determine the
number of life events you've experienced. Instead, you may
simply roll on this table as many times as you see fit. Many of
the results on that table direct you to one of the secondary
tables that follow. Once you have determined all of your
character's life events, feel free to arrange them in any
chronological order that you choose.
