How to Use

This little compilation is full of a few tables that, with a little time and some dice, can provide a
pretty randomized character for your chronicle's needs. While it might work better for an NPC, this
can be used for a PC if you are willing to test your luck.

The tables can be used either in part (only randomizing the character's clan) or in full to produce
some interesting results. Of course, this doesn't randomize the entire character, so some elements
of choice will still be provided even if all tables are utilized.

Example
Let me show o an example I made step-by-step to give an idea of how this works.
First, clan. I rolled an 8. On the table, an 8 is a Malkavian. So I'll write that down on my sheet so I
don't forget.
Second, we have archetypes. I rolled the required dice twice and got 22 and 9. So my Malkavian's
Nature is going to be Fanatic while their Demeanor is Celebrant. Those are rather tting.
Next up, attributes. I rolled a 2, which means Mental stats are prioritized over Social, and Social
over Physical. I'll make sure to mark that in some way and allot my dots later.
On to Skills. The number I got was a 1, so Talents are more important than Skills, and Skills more
important than Knowledges.
Here's where things get interesting. In the clan entry for Malkavians, their disciplines are listed in
the order of Auspex, Dementation, and Obfuscate, so that's the order I put them on my sheet.
Then I roll the 1d4 to see how many dots I put in each. First roll... a 1, not bad. The second was a 3
so I had to reroll and got another 1. With only one point left and one discipline left, I can put that
last point there. 1 dot in each is great!
Before getting to roll for the other backgrounds my Malkavian has, I need to roll for generation as
its required on every sheet. So I roll and got a 2, meaning they are an 11th generation vampire.
Then I roll again to see the rst background I get. 9, resources. Then I roll to see how many dots of
the 3 I have left are put into this single background. I rolled a 3 so, they all go in there!
Finally, we have virtues. I rolled for them in order and got a 5, 1, and with one left I just put it into
the last virtue, Courage.
There we go! A pretty basic but still randomized character for V20. Just spend a little more time
working out some stats and they're all ready for use.
