About this tool
How the Random Character Ability Generator works
This generates the flavor and concept of an ability — what it looks like and does narratively — rather than specific game mechanics, since exact rules vary enormously between tabletop systems. Use it as a creative spark for character building, then translate it into your specific system's stats and balance.
