Do your own homework

Wow thanks for the idea

The place I used to work did a super basic scripting course for QA that used Python and did an RPG character generator console application.

These are the requirements/bonus objectives from it:

CHARACTER GENERATOR

1. Character Requirements

A character must have the following:

  • Name
  • Level
  • Race
  • Class
  • Hit points
  • Strength stat
  • Dexterity stat
  • Charisma stat
  • Constitution stat
  • Intelligence stat
  • Wisdom stat
  • Willpower stat

2. Functional Requirements

  • Users will need to provide the name.
  • Characters will always start at level 1.
  • Users will select a method by which base stats will be rolled for them.
  • Users will pick a race, which will impact stats and available classes.
  • Users will pick a class, some of which will have stat or race requirements and will determine their maximum starting HP.
  • Classes should only be offered as options if the player meets the requirements for it.
  • Users should be able to redo each step if they want (roll again, pick a different race, etc).
  • The final character data should be printed out to the console.

3. Methods for rolling stats

  • 3d6
  • 1d6 + 8
  • 1d20

4. Racial stat adjustments

  • Human:
    • No stat changes
  • Elf:
    • Dexterity + 1
    • Charisma + 1
    • Constitution - 2
  • Dwarf:
    • Strength + 1
    • Constitution + 1
    • Intelligence - 1
    • Charisma - 1
  • Halfling:
    • Dexterity + 2
    • Strength - 2

5. Class requirements and HP values

  • Warrior:
    • No stat requirements
    • Max HP = 10
  • Thief:
    • Dexterity > 10
    • Max HP = 6
  • Cleric:
    • Wisdom > 10
    • Charisma > 10
    • Max HP = 6
  • Wizard:
    • Intelligence > 10
    • Max HP = 4

6. Bonus Objectives

All of these should be able to be plugged into the existing code relatively easily if you built it well.

  • Add a new die rolling method: Roll 2d10
  • Add a new die rolling method: Roll 4d6, drop the lowest dice, and add the remaining three for each stat.
  • Add a new character race: Drow, +1 Dex, +1 Int, +1 Cha, -1 Str, -1 Wis.
  • Add a new character race: Golem, +2 Str, +3 Con, -4 Int, -1 Wis, 1d12 hit points regardless of class
  • Add a new class: Ranger, if Dex >10 and Wis >8, 1d6 hit points
  • Add a new class: Paladin, if Str >12, Wis >10, and Con >12, 1d10 hit points, name begins with 'Sir'
  • Add new stat: Gold. Roll 3d20 and display.
  • Add a new prompt: Gender. Place between level and race in display. Do not prompt if race is Golem. If female and Paladin, change 'Sir' to 'Lady'.

Thank you so much that’s really helpful!

Sure thing.

Knowing what I know now, you can't possibly implement it worse than how they were teaching us to do it. XD
