If it’s OK to ask for another, then I’d have a use for a table full of weird hermits.

Milarepa, Greta Garbo, John LeCarré and Nikola Tesla having dinner. I’ll be here all week.

Here you go, Heikki. Roll five times.

Random Hermit Generator

Roll 1d10 five times Obsession  Converses with People Tolerated Quirk Secret
1 Meditation No one No one Talks in rhyme Related to party member
2 Prayer Birds Children Crawls on all fours Noble birth
3 Math Plants Sick people Calls everyone same name Great Swordsman
4 Botany Animals Lovers Farts constantly (hilarious) Spying on local child, waiting to train when old enough
5 Magic Rocks Most Unlike Self Collects others’ hair Wanted for crimes
6 Animal Husbandry Invisible Friend* Minstrels Great cook Former entertainer
7 Monster Biology Ghosts Seekers Talks backwards Veteran
8 Translation Puppets Lowest Caste Picks same lock all day Is a polymorphed monster
9 Supernatural Events Dead Mother’s Corpse  Perverts Herds cats Nothing
10 Apocalypse Roll again, but this time the results are imaginary Anyone with food Writer It’s all an act

* In the interests of clarity: a roll of 6 means a real, invisible friend. If you roll a 10 then a 6, then the invisible friend is not real. If someone talks to an imaginary rock, then the rock is not real but he will swear he has to squeeze by this boulder (that he talks to) to get into his cave. OR, if you roll a 10 then an 8, he thinks he has puppets on his hands and basically converses with his hands. A 10 then a 9? Mom might be alive. Or he might have someone else’s skeleton (maybe someone obviously not his mother, like a dwarf). Have fun.

Still reading? You must like tables! Here’s some more!
