d20	Event
1	Your mother or father disappeared in the night, leaving behind a note and a package. The note read, “I’m sorry—there is a duty I am sworn to do. You must protect yourself and family while I am gone.” The package was a+1 longswordwrapped in a quilted blanket. You have proficiency with longswords.
2	You were lost in the wilderness when a terrible storm nearly killed you. When you awoke, you were gravely wounded, but felt a strange power within you. You have the Elemental Adept feat from the Player’s Handbook and the ability to cast a cantrip based on the type of storm you were in. Constitution is your spellcasting modifier for this cantrip. Acid rain (Acid Splash), snowstorm (Ray of Frost), forest fire (Produce Flame), lightning storm (Shocking Grasp), thunderstorm (Booming Blade).
3	The fell voice of the archdevil Zariel spoke to you in a dream. You no longer remember what that voice said, or what you promised to give it in return, but now you can castFind Familiaras a ritual. Your familiar always takes the form of an imp. You also have a random form of indefinite madness, determined by rolling on the Indefinite Madness table in chapter 8 of theDungeon Master’s Guide.
4	You tumbled off a cliff and suffered a fall that should have killed you. When you awoke, you saw a figure that you believed to be the goddess Mystra in the distance through your bleary vision. You now occasionally hear her voice in your dreams, telling you strange secrets about the Weave. You have proficiency in the Arcana and Religion skills.
5	You found a massive footprint while exploring the wilderness. Looking closer, you discovered a runestone smashed into the ground within the print. You touched it, and felt power surge within you as you grew to tremendous size! You shrunk moments later, but can still feel the power within you. You can castEnlarge/Reduceonce per day, using the enlarge option only.
6	A horde of terrible monsters attacked your home, either destroying it (village/town) or doing massive damage before being repulsed (city/fortress). You will never forget the images of wanton slaughter that you saw. You have theAlertfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook.
7	You ventured too deep into a local hill-barrow without sufficient gear and fell through a false floor. You landed in a deep dungeon, and survived in the monster-infested darkness there for years before you managed to escape. You are haunted by what you experienced, but you learned much about how to survive in such a place. You have theDungeon Delverfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook.
8	You were captured by drow or duergar in a raid. You managed to escape slavery, but had to disguise yourself and pretend to be one of them to survive on the streets without being captured again. Eventually, you made your escape. You gain theActorfeat from thePlayer’s Handbookand proficiency with disguise kits.
9	Your family unknowingly gave shelter to a member of the Cult of the Dragon, and unwittingly earned their favor. The cult believes you are one of them, and gave you 1,000 gp to deliver to a secret shrine to Tiamat, along with a map to that shrine.
10	A master horse trainer came to your home one day, seeking refuge from a warlord who had purchased his horses and then sought to kill him to keep his secrets from spreading. He rewarded you by mentoring you as a horse trainer. You have proficiency in the Animal Handling skill, and a warhorse with full tack and harness.
11	A Red Wizard of Thay tortured your family to death before your very eyes, and in a fit of blind rage you killed the cruel wizard with a skewer from your fireplace. You have theMage Slayerfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook.
12	While traveling, you found an elf of Evereska at the side of the road, their chest pierced by manticore spines. They begged you for help, and showed you the gestures to cast a spell of healing. You nearly collapsed from the exertion, but managed to cast the spell. You gain theMagic Initiatefeat from thePlayer’s Handbook, learning two bard, cleric, or druid cantrips and theCure Woundsspell.
13	You were trained in the art of combat by an old travelling warrior. He saved your village from bandits while you were training together, but died in the process. You inherited his weapon and his techniques. You have proficiency with a martial weapon of your choice, and you own one such weapon. It has special features as detailed in chapter 7 of theDungeon Master’s Guide. You also have theMartial Adeptfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook.
14	You were saved from a cult of the Dead Three by a member of the Flaming Fist mercenary company. Their sergeant was an inspiring and charismatic half-orc, and you can still hear her words in your head. You have theInspiring Leaderfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook.
15	Your village was burned to the ground by raiders. This band of marauders was led by a being whose image has been seared into your mind forever. Roll on the Rivals and Allies Identities table to determine what type of creature their leader was. You have proficiency in the Stealth and Survival skills.
16	You fell asleep in a forest and awakened in the court of the fey, where you were made to serve the fickle Archfey for a decade. When you finally managed to escape, it was as if no time had passed. You have proficiency with the Deception and Performance skills.
17	A majestic phoenix with wings of flame flew over your home one day, but when you asked other people about it, you learned that you were the only one who saw it. You’ve started having dreams about the fiery bird, and discovered you can manifest its flames. As a bonus action, you can ignite your fists or a weapon you’re holding in flames for 1 minute, causing those attacks to deal fire damage instead of its usual damage. Starting at 5th level, the attacks deal an additional 1d6 fire damage. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
18	A skilled dwarven armorer travelled through your home settlement one day, and held a blacksmithing contest. You impressed him, and he taught you the secret of how to make armor from adamantine, the hardest material on Faerûn. You have a suit of adamantine armor in a style of your choice.
19	You were imprisoned for a grave crime you didn’t commit—or possibly one you did. When you got out of prison, you picked up a number of habits from your inmates. You have proficiency in the Intimidation or Deception skill (your choice) and you know thieves’ cant.
20	You were an apprentice at the grand library of Candlekeep, where you learned secrets beyond most mortals’ knowledge. You gain theSkilledfeat from thePlayer’s Handbook, and can work with your Dungeon Master to create a secret that could change the fate of the world.

d20	Secret
1	While traveling through Elturgard, I had a waking vision that the Companion which glows above Elturel was eclipsed and began to sink into the ground.
2	An agent of the Lords’ Alliance once begged my mother to “reconsider their offer,” but she spat in her face and said “that’s what I think of your offer!” I’ve seen strange people watching her ever since.
3	I remember growing up in a dank and dismal town of pirates called Skullport. My family escaped when I was a child, and we had to leave something very valuable behind. I’ve been trying to get back there ever since.
4	I discovered a passage to the Underdark that no one knows about while exploring in the woods. I see it in my dreams on strange nights—worse, I sometimes see things coming out of it, or climbing into it.
5	While sleeping in an inn in Waterdeep, I overheard a conversation through my window about a gold dragon living somewhere beneath the city. That can’t be right, though—the dragonward keeps all dragons out of Waterdeep.
6	A cleric of Tyr once sheltered in my home for the night. My parents let him stay. When I awoke, he was gone—and when I asked my parents when he had left, no one remembered his arrival.
7	I met a priest of Myrkul once on the streets of Baldur’s Gate. I was quickly pulled away, but not before she cackled and pointed at me, saying, “In time, the curse of death will claim you. It will claim everything!”
8	I stole from a beautiful Waterdhavian nobleman as a child, and later discovered that among the things I stole was his signet ring. I’ve seen wanted posters seeking the thief my entire life.
9	I lived for a year in Ten-Towns in Icewind Dale. One day while living there, a wild-eyed man grabbed me by the collar and shook me, demanding that I tell him where to find the Ring of Winter. His friend slapped his hand and told him I wasn’t the one he was looking for, and they quickly vanished down an alley.
10	One night, I discovered a golden coin with the face of a beautiful lady on one side. In the morning, the face was gone, and a leering, demonic face was there in its place. Whenever I try to get rid of it, I awaken with it in my pocket.
11	I was given a card from a mysterious street performer. It’s in black and white with a disturbing illustration. The card is labelled The Executioner.
12	I was saved from an angry bear as a child when a giant elk leapt in front of me. After it scared the bear off, the elk turned to look at me with such compassion it its eyes, I knew it must be a forest spirit, or even druid in an animal’s form.
13	I once overheard my parents saying that, when I was born, my father saw a group of drow with a strange Y-shaped mark on their foreheads gazing in through the window. I’ve seen that Y-shaped mark out of the corner of my eye my entire life, always disappearing when I look closely for it.
14	As a child, I once saw my father meet with a man in full plate armor and a face-covering helm, who called himself Pereghost. When I asked him who that was, he told me he was an old friend and quickly changed the subject. I’ll never forget the look of that armored man.
15	I have a vague memory that I joined a cult when I was young, and I have a tattoo shaped like the cult’s symbol on my bicep. I can’t remember anything else about it, and my head hurts when I try to remember it.
16	I was inducted into the Harpers when I was young, and I’ve been spying on the corrupt leaders in my hometown for years.
17	I found a dragon egg in the forest when I was young. I figure it must be a fake, since it’s never hatched over all these years. But I keep it safe and secret anyway.
18	While travelling along the Trade Way, I discovered a book from Candlekeep lying in the mud. No one else could see it, and when I opened it, all the pages were blank (save for the mark of Candlekeep on its inner cover). I’ve kept the book, but have never written in it.
19	I’ve heard the sound of waves crashing in my dreams for the past five years. Recently, they’ve gotten louder, and I can hear a sinister voice quietly speaking in a language I can’t understand underneath the sound of waves.
20	A paladin in the service of the Order of the Gauntlet killed my uncle for worshipping the evil god Bane. To this day, I don’t know if he truly worshipped dark forces or not.

d20	Prophecy
1	I will uncover a deep corruption at the heart of the Lords’ Alliance. However, this will destabilize the alliances that unify the Sword Coast, inviting even greater danger.
2	I will slay a dragon that has terrorized the North for ages, but this will draw the greed of leaders across the land.
3	I will become a member of the Gray Hands, and I will try but fail to join Force Grey.
4	I will be the catalyst that sparks a revolution in Luskan, but it will come at the cost of a close friendship.
5	I will discover the secret to a power that should have remained forgotten within the Warlock’s Crypt. It will allow me to save the life of one I love, but it will force me to make a choice that no mortal should ever have to make.
6	I will gain the opportunity to take down the Xanathar Guild from the inside. The friends I make within this gang of thieves and villains will make it hard for me to decide if I should destroy it after all.
7	I will uncover a tome of lost knowledge from deep in the archives of Candlekeep, but the being that hid that knowledge will learn that I rediscovered it.
8	I will touch the boundary of the Far Realm and gain great power. It will make me feared throughout the land.
9	I will hesitate at a crucial moment. Another person will suffer for it.
10	I will kill a double agent trying to poison the Harpers from within. Later, I will learn information that makes me wonder if this person was actually trying to save the Harpers.
11	I will bring light to the Underdark, but doing so will cost me my life.
12	I will meet Blackstaff Vajra Safahr without realizing her identity. What I say (or don’t say) in that meeting will shape the fate of the Sword Coast.
13	I will encounter a remnant of the departed world of Abeir. Strange dragonborn will start stalking me after that day.
14	I will find a long-lost family member in a dungeon. They will tell me about a terrible destiny I was prophesied to commit.
15	I will steal a vast amount of wealth from the Bregan D’aerthe, but I will make enemies that will haunt me until I die.
16	I will bring a matter of great importance to Open Lord Laeral Silverhand, but someone will conspire to prevent me from speaking to her.
17	I will learn that one of the gods still walks the land as a mortal, and has kept this secret hidden for over 100 years. After learning this, their church will send assassins to silence me.
18	I will find an item that belongs to a legendary figure of the realms such as Elminster, Wulfgar, or Farideh. This item portends this hero’s inauspicious disappearance.
19	I will shelter a mysterious stranger from the coast of the Moonsea. The dark past that follows them will put us both in danger.
20	I will heal the rift between Corellon and Lolth, but in doing so I will unwittingly unleash an even greater evil than Lolth upon the world.
