About

Creating a character in Dragon Age: Origins involves navigating a complex web of dependencies where your choice of Race dictates your available Classes, and the combination of both determines your Origin Story. A mismatch here results in an invalid build. This tool acts as a logic engine that ensures every generated character is 100% legal within the game's ruleset.

Unlike simple randomizers, this generator simulates the attribute point allocation system. It calculates starting stats by applying the base racial modifiers and then distributing the standard 5 bonus attribute points according to class proficiency (e.g., weighted_random favors Magic for Mages). It also adheres to lore restrictions, such as the impossibility of Dwarven Mages or Human Commoners.

Formulas

The generator determines total attributes A_total using the base value of 10, racial modifiers R_mod, and class-weighted bonus points C_bonus.

A_total = 10 + R_mod + C_bonus

Where C_bonus is the distribution of the 5 free starting points, allocated via a probability function P depending on the class C:

P(attr) =

{

High if attr ∈ PrimaryStats(class)Low otherwise

Legend: Str = Strength, Dex = Dexterity, Wil = Willpower, Mag = Magic, Cun = Cunning, Con = Constitution.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Dragon Age lore, Dwarves have no connection to the Fade and cannot wield magic. This tool enforces that restriction logic: if Race == Dwarf → Class ≠ Mage.

No. In Dragon Age: Origins, gender does not affect your base Attribute scores or Skills, only social interactions and romance options. Therefore, Attributes are calculated solely based on Race and Class.

While not a hard cap for generation, optimal builds usually aim for Cun ≥ 16 to maximize the Coercion skill early on.

Names are constructed using a syllabic Markov chain tailored to each race. Elves use softer phonemes (e.g., "ae", 'th'), while Dwarves use harder consonants (e.g., "gr", 'd').
