What it is about
Build-a-Character: Oaths & Promises (d100 Table)
Every character carries vows, oaths, and promises—some kept, some broken, some never meant to be fulfilled. These pledges shape their choices, fuel their stories, and haunt their journeys.
With this system-free d100 table, you’ll find inspiration for character backstories, plot hooks, and roleplaying depth. From silly childhood vows to deadly serious oaths of vengeance, these promises can bind your heroes, villains, or NPCs to a destiny bigger than themselves.
Perfect for:
Players looking to enrich their characters with memorable motivations.
GMs who want to drop in character hooks and dramatic story beats.
Any genre—fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, modern, or beyond.
Will your character keep their word… or will breaking it change everything?
