Generating a Swords & Sorcery Land: Your People

Part two taking off from earlier today.

Step 2: National Features

“The People of My Nation Tend to Be...” Chart

Roll d20, 1d4 times. If the same result is rolled double any mechanical effects that may apply, otherwise re-roll. 

Results dictating class background give the option to roll on one of the results of the player or GM's choice. If results do not dictate class background, roll on standard chart as normal.

Re-roll contradictory results—if desired.
