Caterpillar Method for Character (PC) Stat Generation (PBtA)



n alternative and fun way to generate D&D character stats

Cheats and ne'er-do-wells

Any method of character generation is open to abuse. Simply put¸ don't play with cheats.

Comparisons with other methods

This method compares quite well with the traditional 3D6 (or 4D6 drop the lowest) method for stat generation. However¸ the method has some self-balancing mechanics inbuilt. In short¸ you will get: 1 × stat in a high band¸ 1 × stat in a medium band¸ × 1 stat in a low band and one stat that equates to 1 × 3D6. You will also get 2 × stats that "see-saw" with respect to each other. That is¸ as one stat goes up the other will go down (so if one stat is an 18¸ then the other stat will be a 3 etc.).

Why?

Why not? More seriously¸ in some way¸ this system in a hybrid between a pure dice rolling system and a point buy system (because of some of the self-balancing elements). Dare I say it¸ this method has a good chance of returning a... playable character. Mainly¸ this is a bit of fun¸ a different way to generate stats.

I'm very happy for you to pay nothing for this product; and anything given to me will only be frittered away on RPG-related wares anyway. That said¸ even a nominal sum like 50 cents seems to bump this thing up the DriveThru charts and encourages me to make more things like this!
