Reasons to Adventure
Roll 1d30
- Afraid of stagnation more than death, you have discarded the predictable life of an official in exchange for the thrill of adventure.
- Anointed as a future leader, you must first venture forth and bring back proof of your worthiness before you may take your rightful place in society.
- Assuming a false identity to protect your noble name, you seek something that rightfully belongs to you and your family.
- Bored with a life of luxury, you seek danger and excitement at any cost.

- Disowned by your wealthy family, you are determined to find success without their aid.
- You are the 7th child of a 7th child, destined to go down in folklore.

- Family tradition obligates you to have at least one adventure that can be added to the family saga.

- Inspired by the accomplishments of a legendary hero, you aspire to equal or surpass your hero.
- Inspired by the words of a mystic, you are possessed with a zeal to bring truth to the uncivilized corners of the world.
- Leaving behind the comforts of home and plunging into danger is a necessary rite of passage in your community.
- A life debt compels you to accompany the one you owe even into the bowels of the earth or anywhere else the fool decides to roam.
- Mistaken for an evil sorcerer or monster, you scorn civilization and pursue power wherever it may be found.
- Motivated by a life of hardship, you desperately seek to improve your lot in life.
- On the losing side of a bloodfeud, you were banished from your ancestral homeland.
- Pursued by local authorities, going where no sane person would follow for a chance to get rich seems like a sensible plan.
- Roving merrily across the countryside is the best sort of life, and if fate should intervene by proposing adventure, so much the better, you say.
- Thirst for knowledge, unquenched by books and tutors, has led you to slake it in forgotten tombs and ruins.
- Turning your back on a decadent society and seeking your fortune in the cruel wilderness makes you feel alive.
- Unable to face your family's terrible curse, you have left the castle for the anonymous life of a lowly adventurer.
