TABLES FOR FABLES

A collection of free tables for fantasy role-playing games.

Welcome to Tables for Fables. This is a collection of random tables, all of which:

have a fantasy theme,
are systemless - that is, don't use statistics or terms from a single game, and
use only normal, six-sided dice (d6s).

If you have a table that you want to contribute, please email me (news AT apolitical DOT info).

You can look at all 329 tables, or look at tables in a specific category:

Magic and Religion	(33 entries)
Treasure	(22 entries)
Wilderness and Worlds	(52 entries)
Dungeons and Combat	(39 entries)
Personalising Characters	(79 entries)
Settlements and Countries	(84 entries)
Adventure Ideas	(87 entries)
Creating Creatures	(32 entries)

Please note that magic items are in the Treasure section, not the Magic and Religion section.

Many of the ideas in these tables are used in the automatic Adventure Ideas Generator.

Distinguishing Features

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

Where relevant, roll for the side: 1-3 left 4-6 right.

Fantasy Titles: Structure

source or inspiration: Andrew Byers. From the Carcosan Grimoire

These tables generate titles that can be used for a monarch, high priest, or similar figure (or for a character who would like to be thought of as such).

Where the result says (A), roll on 'Fantasy Titles A' below, and so on for other bold letters.
Note that some results in Table C will tell you to roll on Table A again. Always roll separately for the two (A)s if this happens.

Optional: If the result includes (C), roll again: on a 5, replace the (C) with 'of the (A) (B)'. On a 6, replace it with 'of the (B)'.
Again, if there are two (A)s or two (B)s, roll separately for the two.

Roll 1 dice.

1-2	(A) (B).
3-4	(A) (B) (C).
5-6	(B) (C).

Half-Elves, -Orcs and Others

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

This table is designed for creatures whose parents are different species/kindred/'races', to decide how their statistics are generated.

Roll 1 dice.

1	The creature will be treated as if it was the same kindred as its father.
2	The creature will be treated as if it was the same kindred as its mother.
3	The creature will have characteristics which are halfway between those of its father and mother.
4	For any given characteristic, the creature will take after the 'better' kindred (for example if one parent has a high Strength and a low Dexterity, and the other a high Dexterity and a low Strength, the creature would have high Strength and high Dexterity). The creature will also be sterile.
5	For any given characteristic, the creature will take after the worse kindred.
6	Roll seperately on this table for each characteristic. If you get this result again, treat it as a result of 'halfway between the mother and father'..

Height

Roll 3 dice, use the total.

4	4' 3'' (4 foot 3 inches), or 130cm .

15	6' 6'', or 200cm.
16	6' 9'', or 205cm.
17	6' 11'', or 210cm.
18	7' 2'', or 220cm.

Weight

source or inspiration: Tunnels & Trolls

This table is designed for humans - you'll probably want to adjust the results for other species.

You may also want to apply adjustments for gender.

The results in this table are more like modern people: people in medieval-like societies will generally be lighter.
For more medieval-like results, roll twice and take the lower result.

If you're using both the height and weight charts, you could roll 4 dice:
base height on the first three dice, and weight on the last three.
This will mean that height and weight will be related.

For creatures that are inhumanly large or small, but have the same proportions, remember that the change in their weight will be more than the change in their height.
For example, a creature whose height, width and 'thickness' are all twice that of a human,
would have eight times as much body material as a human, not twice as much.
Of course, creatures like giants and fairies are impossible anyway, so you may choose to ignore this.

Roll 3 dice, use the total.

3	75lb (pounds), or 35kg (kilograms).
4	90lb, or 40kg.
5	105lb, or 45kg.
6	120lb, or 55kg.
7	135lb, or 60kg.
8	150lb, or 70kg.
9	160lb, or 72.5kg.
10	170lb, or 75kg.
11	180lb, or 80kg.
12	190lb, or 85kg.
13	200lb, or 90kg.
14	225lb, or 100kg.
15	250lb, or 115kg.
16	280lb, or 125kg.

18	350lb, or 160kg.

Effects of Star Signs

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

Fire Element will make the character braver and more confident, but also less sensible.
Earth Element will make the character practical and sensible, but also less confident in social situations.
Air Element will make the character a better communicator, but also tense and more prone to panic.
Water Element will make the character perform better in both physical and intellectual areas, but also worse in spiritual ones.

Cardinal Quality will make the character braver and more determined, but also less able to learn new things, or act as part of a team.
Fixed Quality will make the character more inclined to uphold the status quo.
Mutable Quality will make the character more adaptable, particularly in social situations, but also more unlucky and likely to attract problems.

Effects of Birth Year

Thanks to Wikipedia for the 'information' used in this table.

Roll 2 dice.

1st dice	2nd dice	result
1	1-3	Rat makes a character more charismatic and shrewd, but also more obstinate (in game terms, less able to learn new things).
1	4-6	Ox (sometimes Water Buffalo) makes a character calmer and more logical, but also more narrow-minded and materialistic (in game terms, less able to get on with those who are different from themselves, and more likely to be overcome by greed).
2	1-3	Tiger makes a character braver and more powerful, but also more quick-tempered, and likely to be more generous than is good for them. It also makes a character more likely to oppose the current structure of their society.
2	4-6	Rabbit (sometimes Cat) makes a character more gracious and soft-spoken (in game terms more charismatic, particularly in formal situations), but also likely to be moody (in game terms, likely to have random periods where they're less good at everything due to not putting enough effort in).
3	1-3	Dragon makes a character stronger and more decisive, but also more likely to be dogmatic, tyrannical and over-bearing (in game terms, likely to offend people with different opinions, and in situations where the character has some power).
3	4-6	Snake makes a character wise and mystical, but also a bad communicator.
4	1-3	Horse makes a character more flexible (in game terms, better at learning new things) and intelligent, but also more gullible and anxious.
4	4-6	Sheep (sometimes Goat) makes a character more creative and determined, but also more moody (in game terms, likely to have random periods where they're less good at everything due to not putting enough effort in). The character will also be more likely to seek a peaceful occupation than a violent one.
5	1-3	Monkey makes a character more inventive (in game terms, better able to cope with unpredictable situations), but also more jealous and suspicious (in game terms, less able to form friendships with others, and more likely to see bad motives in others that aren't really there).
5	4-6	Rooster makes a character more of a perfectionist. In game terms, if they can perform a task at all they're more likely than others to do a spectacular job, but tasks will also take them longer than most people (whether they succeed or not).
6	1-3	Dog makes a character more sociable and intelligent, but also more quarrelsome and stubborn (in game terms, less able to learn new things).
6	4-6	Pig (sometimes Wild Boar) makes a character braver and more intelligent, but also more gullible and materialistic (in game terms, more likely to be overcome by greed). The character will also be more likely to seek a peaceful occupation than a violent one.

Phobias

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

In every situation which triggers a phobia, characters with the phobia should have some chance of overcoming their fear. If your game includes attributes such as Intelligence, Wisdom, Willpower and/or Courage, these may be relevant to a character's chance of doing this.

Roll 2 dice.

1st dice	2nd dice	result
1	1-3	Ablutophobia - fear of washing or bathing. If your game world is one in which most characters don't bathe anyway, the GM may re-roll.
1	4-6	Aibohphobia - fear of anagrams (words which read the same backwards as forwards). Spells have a small chance (for example 1 in 6) of containing anagrams.
2	1-3	Automatonophobia - Fear of anything that falsly represents a sentient being, such as ventriloquist's dummies or wax statues. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who are themselves automotons.
2	4-6	Roll again: 1-3 Arachnopobia - fear of spiders. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who either live on spiders, or are themselves spider- or insect-like 4-6 Ophidiophobia - fear of snakes. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who either live on snakes, or are themselves snake- or lizard-like.
3	1-3	Acrophobia - fear of heights. The GM should re-roll in the case of flying creatures.
3	4-6	Astraphobia - fear of lightning and thunderstorms.
4	1-3	Caligynephobia - Fear of beautiful women.
4	4-6	Claustrophobia - fear of enclosed spaces. Dungeons are likely to contain such spaces. The phobia may also mean that the character can't wear helmets with visors, or suffers penalties when doing so. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who have evolved to live underground, for example dwarves and gnomes.
5	1-3	Galeophobia - Fear of cats. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who either live on cats, or are themselves cat-like.
5	4-6	Hylophobia - Fear of forests. The GM may re-roll in the case of creatures who have evolved to live in forests, for example (in some game worlds) elves.
6	1-3	Xenophobia - fear of a specific, randomly determined intelligent species other than the character's own. If a particular species is very common in your game world (for example humans), it may be too harsh to give a character a phobia of that species. If so, the GM may decide not to have that species as one of the possible targets of xenophobia. Members of a species that the character is afraid of will find it easier to intimidate them, but harder to establish friendly relations.
6	4-6	Triskaidekaphobia - Fear of the number thirteen (or of groups of thirteen things).

Familiars 1: Species

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

This may be used to decide a wizard or witches' familiar.
Obviously this table should be modified in the case of animals which don't exist in your game world.
Optionally, the GM may make another roll to see if the familiar can talk: 1-3 yes 4-6 no.

Titles of an Educated Person

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

In many societies there may be a tendency for learned people to also have priestly positions, and vice versa.

In some, priests may be the only educated people (including the rulers) - in such societies, there will probably be no titles for educated people seperate to titles for priests.

There may be a similar overlap between educated people and magicians.

Colours

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

In European heraldry, colours distinguished different groups. For example, a lion on a red background would represent a different family to a lion on a white background.
In Japanese heraldry, only the emblem mattered - it could appear on any colour.

This table doesn't take account of the rules of European heraldry relating to which colours could be placed next to each other.

The GM may roll only once, for the background colour to be used on flags, shields etc, and assume that the emblem is black or white. Or they may roll twice, re-rolling if they get the same result, with the first result being the background colour and the second being the emblem colour

Emblems

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

For coats of arms, emblems of a city, tribal totems and so on.

Obviously this table should be modified in the case of animals which don't exist in your game world.

Optionally, the GM may roll to see how the emblem is coloured: 1-3 the item is coloured 'proper'; that is, it's coloured like a real example of whatever it is (for example a tree might have green leaves and brown bark) 4-6 roll on the Colours table above, re-rolling if the emblem appears on a flag or shield and the colour rolled for the emblem is the same as a colour on the flag or shield.

In real life, tribal totems were always animals. If rolling for a tribal totem, the GM may want to re-roll if the result is an object.

Meanings are in brackets.

The prefix 'verch' means 'daughter of'. For example, Bannon verch Baden is 'Bannon, daughter of Baden' (note that it was much more common to reference the father's than the mother's name).
You may roll again on this table or the one below to get the character's parent's name.

3	I just washed that shirt!
4	Now you’ll never find the treasure, fools.
5	Oh.
6	This is just the beginning. Soon, you will learn the true meaning of fear!
7	I lay a pox on you and yours. You will never know peace until I am avenged. Everything you touch will turn to dust; all of your endeavours will be for nought. For seven times seven years, this will be so. The lamentation of your women will ring in my ears, even though the veil of death separates me from your suffering. Swords will shatter, oaths will be broken and faith will vanish. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
8	Find the chalice! Find...the...chalice and take it to the...
9	I didn’t do it ma!
10	So, I am done and you have won. Enjoy your victory fools, for even now – Insert name of an NPC ally of the party – languishes in my Lord’s secret fortress. Seven days hence, he will be slain, should I not send word of my victory. You have won the battle, but not the war.
11	Fools! You think that you have slain me. Me! My heart resides in a gilded box guarded by the fiercest warriors. Tomorrow, at sunrise, I shall arise again and I will find you. Be sure of that. 'Till tomorrow.
12	Huh, slain by chattels. I lay the mark of Ta’leth upon you, so that all will know of your deeds.
13	If, I can just reach...the...lever. Minions! Quick, come to...me...unleash the...dogs...uh.
14	Claret, everywhere...Pretty. Like the raiment of the radiant...uh.
15	Well done, brave heroes. You have slain me, my congratulations on your monumental achievement. I would like a statue raised on this spot, if you have the time. I planned to do the same for you.
16	Fly my beauties! Fly into the night! You are free. The spirits of Broman-Dar have been released from the prison of my flesh this night, my friends. May fire and darkness follow their progress.
17	Mortally wounded! My heart doth beat slower and my breath doth rattle betwixt my chattering teeth. Farewell cruel world, may it treat thee and thou better than it has treated me...Arghh.
18	Your faces are ingrained in my memory and your deeds in my heart. I shall return when the blue moon rises and the red bull enters the chambers of the prophet. Then history itself will reverse and this deed will be undone. I will see you again.

Hindquarters of a Centaur

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

Roll 1 dice.

2	as above.
3	Donkey – the centaur will be likely to be less susceptible to fear and intimidation than most centaurs.
4	Zebra – the centaur will be likely to be more attractive, but worse at hiding than most centaurs.
5	Camel – the centaur will be likely to be able to survive in the desert and go without water for longer than most centaurs.

Horse Colour

source or inspiration: James Hutchings

This table may also be used for the horse parts of centaurs, and other creatures.

Grey: grey horses don't have grey hairs. They have white hairs mixed with coloured ones, like a person with 'grey hair'. Optionally, roll again for the other colour (1 black 2 light chestnut 3 dark chestnut 4 light bay 5 dark bay 6 palomino). Greys (including dapple greys), are born with a coloured coat which gets whiter as they get older; again like people, except that it begins sooner in the horse’s life. This process begins on the face. An older grey horse may be indistinguishable from a white one, except that a grey horse has dark skin whereas a white horse has pink skin. The difference is particularly visible around the eyes and muzzle.
