Character Secrets

Character Secrets is an optional table for your players to roll that give them inspiration for secrets in their characters' backgrounds. These secrets can be kept from other players and revealed at any time, can be shared and integrated into the plot of the adventure, or can be tied to the secrets of other characters.
When a player wants to give their characters a secret, roll the following table:
