How to Use It

Click the generator image to create a new NPC. The result is written as text and can also include a stock image for the selected or generated race when one is available.

Use the Copy button to move the generated text into notes, prep documents, or another tool.

The page can remember up to ten generated NPCs during the current page session so you can compare recent results in the memory section below.

Customize the Result

Use the character options form to guide the generator. You can provide a first name, last name, nickname, race, class, or a homebrew race before generating a result.

Leave fields blank when you want a fully random result. Fill in only the fields you care about when you want the rest of the NPC to stay random.

If you use a homebrew race, that text acts as a placeholder race name and the rest of the NPC is still generated creatively around it. Use either a listed race or a homebrew race value, not both.

Villain mode adds a non-player villain statblock as a separate bonus output when you want a more dangerous or story-central character.

What the Generator Uses

This tool consults the 2014 DMG NPC tables on pages 89-96 and combines them with race naming conventions and appearance details to build a character quickly.

It also produces a 2024-style statblock by rolling and assigning ability scores automatically, which means personality text and stat priorities can sometimes produce amusing mismatches. If you dislike a result, generate another one.
