Pathfinder Background Generato

About this app

Struggling to come up with a backstory for your Pathfinder character? No more! One tap and you're set!

Homeland, childhood, family, adolescence, what drove you to your class, and the conflicts that followed...
The decisions that shaped your alignment and the bonds you've forged with fellow adventurers...
Relevant traits and story feats based on your history...

Now you can experience the background generation rules from Paizo's Pathfinder: Ultimate Campaign* without needing to roll on a dozen or so random tables!

Uncertain of alignment? The app will suggest the closest fitting choices based on the choices your character made in their backstory.

Playing an alignment-restricted class like Paladin or Druid? In a campaign that forbids Evil or insists that everyone play Good characters? The app will decrease the probability of your character doing something that'd disqualify them from their class or campaign, and won't suggest any invalid alignments.

Not happy with the results? Feel free to adjust the details to fit your image and your game, or hit "Generate" again. Get a new past in an instant!

So don't delay, make history today!

Ratings and reviews

I've given 4 stars because for the races it includes it's useful, and quite detailed. But personally it wasn't helpful to me, I wanted help with a background for tiefling which I didn't realise when I downloaded it this race (and a few others) weren't included. I also noticed it was just for good and non-evil characters? if so then expanding the app to include other races and evil/neutral etc would be so useful to a lot of people

Interesting and varied, but needs religions. Most of the background generator is useful and gives enough detail to spark a story without so many specifics that you have trouble fitting a character in. Two thing though 1l religion always come up as no religion, even for a cleric! That is disappointing. 2) explaination text in each section should be hidable or at least different enough from the descriptive text so I don't keep reading the explanations over and over to get to the good stuff.

I am looking for options in cults for my characters background. This app feels quite limited as it does not include any of the advanced races or classes. I am playing as a Moonborn Ninja. Because Moonborn is not an official race I thought I would use the race I would have her raised arround which would be Drow or Dark Elves. As a moon born she would have been born under a full moon durring some sort of ritual. I was thinking a cult revolving around the moon would be great, but I want to see what my options are. This doesn't seem to have near enough detail to get that done for me. So I am uninstalling. Its not what I was lookimg for.
