Random Character Generator with Token

September 24 (2 years ago)

Edited September 24 (2 years ago)

Hey community! 

I’m looking to create an old school level 0 adventure, which involves creating lots of characters and tokens. I know how to create random tables and roll them all at once with a macro, but I’m wondering if there is a way to also create a token each time the macro is rolled? I already have a generic token image loaded up and made into a rollable table, but it would be helpful if I could create the token automatically when I roll the macro.

Further, is it possible to have it automatically create a character sheet too? Then even link the sheet to the token? So much potential! Manually inputting this stuff wouldn’t be all that hard, but automating as much as possible would be glorious, besides also being convenient and player-friendly.

Thanks all!

The SpawnDefaultToken script can do the token part, assuming the rollable table token is set up as the default token on a character sheet.

Ex:

!Spawn {{
  --name|Some large Character
  --offset|1,0
  --side|4
  --size|2,2
}}

Not aware of a mod script for the character sheet part.
