What does Character’s Worst Decision Generator create?

What do I enter in Quick or Deep preparation?

Quick starts with the character’s name and true details, role, severity and tone. Deep adds the kind of decision, whether it grew from childhood, hard times, admiration, a loss, an old success or an accident, then an established character fact, things to avoid and private context.

What kinds and severities can I choose?

Build around a bad deal, trusting the wrong person, starting a fight, running away, a reckless gamble, meddling with magic, a lie that grew or wounded pride. Choose a foolish mistake, bad call, poor decision, terrible choice, lasting disaster or the decision that changed everything, without reducing the character to that one moment.

How do I revise, keep and share the result?

Lock, change and edit individual sections, save versions and reopen decisions with their origin, reminders, table cues, observers, hooks and possible change. Duplicate a result to explore a variation. Copy the full Dungeon Master dossier or chosen player-facing character note, download the structured record or print. Review current player-facing details before sharing, especially after edits, and keep private context in your own notes.

Where do I use it, and what are its boundaries?

Open Character’s Worst Decision Generator from the Generators collection in Desktop Command Centre on Windows. It prepares a consequential past decision, rather than a general regret, a current plan going wrong or a task left unfinished. It applies no mechanic or penalty and sends nothing to Combat PRO. The player decides how the character understands or responds to the decision now.
