| d6 | I became a rogue because... |
| 1 | I've always been nimble and quick of wit, so I decided to use those talents to help me make my way in the world. |
| 2 | An assassin or a thief wronged me, so I focused my training on mastering the skills of my enemy to better combat foes of that sort. |
| 3 | An experienced rogue saw something in me and taught me several useful tricks. |
| 4 | I decided to turn my natural lucky streak into the basis of a career, though I still realize that improving my skills is essential. |
| 5 | I took up with a group of ruffians who showed me how to get what I want through sneakiness rather than direct confrontation. |
| 6 | I'm a sucker for a shiny bauble or a sack of coins, as long as I can get my hands on it without risking life and limb. |
