No matter how long you’ve been alive, you have experienced at least one signature event that
has markedly influenced your character. Life events include wondrous happenings and tragedies,
conflicts and successes, and encounters with the unusual. They can help to explain why your
character became an adventurer, and some might still affect your life even after they are long
over.
The older a character is, the greater the chance for multiple life events, as shown on the Life
Events by Age table. If you have already chosen your character’s starting age, see the entry in
the Life Events column that corresponds to how old you are. Otherwise, you can roll dice to
determine your current age and number of life events randomly.
