Using a chatbot to make random pick up and play D&D characters...

Put this into chatgpt: "I will give you a format and can you help me generate random characters for a roleplaying game in character sheet form" (copy and paste the format below). 

Now you can ask the bot for a random warrior, specialist or wizard and it will generate you one. 

(The intention here being a version of D&D a new player could playing just by picking up a randomly generated character. The referee would need to be at least a little experienced [Ref. will need to apply situationally appropriate To Hit bonuses, adjudicate what can be achieved with a spell and how that modifies the attribute test for success / consider the impact of repeated spell casting (HP damage IMO) + decide when and how characters level up + boring stuff like encumbrance if that is a concern of yours)   

Character Sheet Format:

Name: (Random fantasy name - human, not too silly, not too grim)
Class: (Could be Warrior, Specialist, or Wizard)

Description: A very brief 2-sentence description of the random character based on their attribute scores and the skills and magic they have (if any).

HP: (If Warrior = 10, if Specialist = 6, if Wizard = 4)
Armour Class (AC): (If Warrior = 14, if Specialist = 12, if Wizard = 8)

  • (Give random heavy armor for Warrior, medium armor for Specialist, light armor for Wizard)

Melee Attack Damage: (If Warrior = d10, if Specialist = d6, if Wizard = d4)

  • (Give random big fantasy weapon for Warrior, medium fantasy weapon for Specialist, small fantasy weapon for Wizard)

Ranged Attack Damage: (If Warrior = d6, if Specialist = d6, if Wizard = d2)

  • (Give random big fantasy weapon for Warrior, medium fantasy weapon for Specialist, small fantasy weapon for Wizard)

Equipment:

  • (List four random fantasy items, defined in 1 - 3 words, e.g., Healing Potion, Magic Stone, etc. Make sure the equipment does not include the weapon or armor the character is using)

Rules:
For non-combat tests, roll UNDER appropriate attribute on a d20.
