| d6 | I became a criminal because... |
| 1 | I resented authority in my younger days and saw a life of crime as the best way to fight against tyranny and oppression. |
| 2 | Necessity forced me to take up the life, since it was the only way I could survive. |
| 3 | I fell in with a gang of reprobates and ne'er-do-wells, and I learned my specialty from them. |
| 4 | A parent or relative taught me my criminal specialty to prepare me for the family business. |
| 5 | I left home and found a place in a thieves' guild or some other criminal organization. |
| 6 | I was always bored, so I turned to crime to pass the time and discovered I was quite good at it. |
