| d6 | I became a monk because... |
| 1 | I was chosen to study at a secluded monastery. There, I was taught the fundamental techniques required to eventually master a tradition. |
| 2 | I sought instruction to gain a deeper understanding of existence and my place in the world. |
| 3 | I stumbled into a portal to the Shadowfell and took refuge in a strange monastery, where I learned how to defend myself against the forces of darkness. |
| 4 | I was overwhelmed with grief after losing someone close to me, and I sought the advice of philosophers to help me cope with my loss. |
| 5 | I could feel that a special sort of power lay within me, so I sought out those who could help me call it forth and master it. |
| 6 | I was wild and undisciplined as a youngster, but then I realized the error of my ways. I applied to a monastery and became a monk as a way to live a life of discipline. |
