NPC Generator (D&D 3.0 edition)

(for the 3.5-edition version, go to http://www.aarg.net/~minam/npc2.cgi)

Welcome to the online Dungeons & Dragons NPC generator! This tool allows you to generate random characters for the heroes of your campaign to encounter. Try it out!

If you feel so inclined, I do accept donations. Feel free to send me some cash (whatever you feel this service is worth) via PayPal:

Please note that this generator will only generate NPC's of up to 20th level. This is character level, which means that if you try to get a Wiz20/Sor20/Clr20 character -- that's actually a 60th level character! The generator will only try to generate the first 20 levels and returns whatever it came up with (in the previous example, a 20th level wizard).

Opera 5.x Users: Due to a bug in Opera 5.x, the online NPC generator will not work properly. However, Opera 6 corrects the problem, so if you use Opera 5.x, I would encourage you to upgrade to the new version.

If you discover any bugs or discrepancies while using this utility, please send them to jgb3@email.byu.edu. Be sure to include the following items in your message so that I can duplicate the error:

If you do not specify even one of the above items in your e-mail, I may not be able to duplicate the error you have found.
