A JavaScript console app that randomly generates a D&D character out of a pre-set collection of races, classes, backgrounds, and randomly rolled ability scores (strength, wisdom, dexterity, etc.)
Use this application to generate random playable or non-playable characters for your D&D campaign. Take the character as generated and put them in your game or use it as a source of inspiration to craft the perfect character for your setting or situation.
Prints a randomly generated character (out of a pre-set collection of races, classes, backgrounds, and randomly rolled ability scores) to the console. Ability scores are randomly generated based off the house rule of rolling 4d6 7 times, rerolling 1's, adding the three highest numbers for each set, and dropping the lowest set
