NPC Traits

I just finished my first experiment with making an inspiration pad file and thought I'd share it. Right it's basically an unweighted look up, but if I have time I may, at some point, try grouping traits into various sub-tables to make it a little more interesting. I can't attach ipt or txt files, so I'm just going to copy it into the post below.

    Sorry about that - I thought they were allowed. I changed the settings to allow for .ipt files, though its always also good to show the actual code.

    btw, you might try using a deck pick rather than a table lookup, so that you dont get any duplicates.
  • Thanks for the tip. I've updated the code with deck calls. Code is below and also attached as a .ipt file.

  • Thanks for this list, I got a 1000 traits from online and made a table, however, these look great. Can I ask: how did you slim the traits down to these? or was it from a pdf or book?
