Random Fantasy Starting Weapon Generator

Generate a random starting weapon to equip a new character with, from standard gear to something more unusual.

About this generator

This generator draws from 65 tabletop RPG starting weapons across three rarity tiers -- Common, Uncommon, and Exotic -- from standard-issue gear to something a bit more unusual to hand a new character.

Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.

What people use it for

Tabletop RPG players use it to equip a new character without defaulting to the same sword every time. It's one of nine Fantasy generators that together make up the D&D Character preset, which rolls a complete character in one go.

How it works

Generate draws one weapon at random from the full 65-entry pool using the site's cryptographically secure randomness, guaranteed not to repeat whatever result is currently showing in single-result mode. Filtering by rarity tier narrows the pool before drawing.

Common questions

What do the rarity tiers mean?

Common covers standard-issue weapons most settings support, Uncommon covers less typical options, and Exotic covers weapons built for a more unusual character.

Can I filter by rarity?

Yes -- use the filter button to pick one or more of the three tiers. Generate will then only draw from weapons in the tiers you've selected.

Will it show me the same weapon twice in a row?

Not in single-result mode -- each new roll is guaranteed to differ from the one currently on screen.

Is there a way to roll a whole character at once, not just a weapon?

Yes -- the D&D Character preset stacks all nine Fantasy generators together into one window for a complete character in a single click.
