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.
