Sibling generation seems to be bugged in that all siblings are "brothers", younger or older, and there are no "sisters".

Currently the only backgrounds available are those from the PHB. This should be expanded to support other sources.

"ofyou" needs a space in it.

Roll Again doesn't appear work for any combination when background is Urban Bounty Hunter.

The following appears randomly throughout the document:

You became a acolyte because you ran away from home at an early age and found refuge in a temple.
You became a ranger because you have seen what happens when the monsters come out from the dark. You took it upon yourself to become the first line of defense against the evils that lie beyond civilization's borders.

It often appears just under the actual class and background write up but I have seen it appear in other places too, like under the origin (eg Had an Orc Bard Charlatan that was raised by humans, dwarves, or elves and just under that, the acolyte and ranger thing appeared)

Allow a subrace to be chosen in the main options form.

Hey, there's some great data in this library, and I'd love to use the character generation stuff for https://github.com/mikechabot/pixelwood.

I don't need the UI so much, so I went ahead and forked the repo, and published it to npm as a standalone module, that's available from CLI or within another module.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/this-is-your-life-cli

This is a super rough pass right now, I really just needed access to the generateCharacter function. I can transfer the npm repo over to you if you'd like to begin maintaining this, but I think having this functionality separate out as a separate package is useful.

Install globally
npm install -g this-is-your-life-cli

Execute from CLI:

$ this-is-your-life-cli
{ race: { name: 'Hobgoblin', subraces: [], other: { Origin: [Object] } },
  subrace: undefined,
  class:
   { name: 'Warlock',
     ...

Execute from CLI with options

$ this-is-your-life-cli '' '' Monk
{ race:
   { name: 'Firbolg',
     subraces: [],
     other: { 'Reason for Adventure': [Object] } },
  subrace: '',
  class:
   { name: 'Monk',

CommonJS

const generateCharacter = require('this-is-your-life-cli/lib').default;

ES6

import generateCharacter from 'this-is-your-life-cli/lib/';

console.log(chalk.blue('Generating Random Character'))
console.log(generateCharacter())

console.log(chalk.blue('Generating Monk Class Character'))
console.log(generateCharacter(null, null, 'Monk'))

1. Monstrous races not selectable, but show up when generating random characters.

Straightforward issue.

2. Non-PHB Backgrounds not supported.

While this is understandly less of an issue, non-PHB backgrounds tend to refer to specific PHB backgrounds for traits, flaws, etc. so it may be worthwhile to add these to the list.

3. No support fon-official races.

Understandable, but maybe look into a "blank" race value for people playing homebrew races?

Peace.

As the title says. It'd be nice if we had the option not to leave a character's alignment to chance - especially if you're quickly generating a character for Adventurers' League play (where alignment is effectively restricted to non-Evil) or if you've already chosen that part.

PHB123 says that you should give your character two personality traits. Currently the generator only chooses one trait.

I will endeavour to add the second trait and open a PR in due course, but feel free to add it yourself, @trwolfe13.

Thanks.
