What does Rivalry Generator create?

Create one personal rival and the relationship between them and an established character. Prepare an origin, two recurring triggers, how it appears at the table, who notices, two story hooks, two roleplaying tips and a possible way the relationship could change.

How intense can the rivalry be?

Choose friendly competition, running contest, real rivalry, bitter rivalry, dangerous rivalry or legendary rivalry. Set tone and intensity without forcing hatred, violence, defeat or a particular character response.

What kinds of rival can I prepare?

Choose a fellow adventurer, relative, former friend, scholar or mage, competing heir, champion, trade rival or admirer turned rival. Use the character’s name, established facts and role to make the origin fit.

How do Quick and Deep preparation work?

Quick preparation uses the character’s name, true details, role, intensity and tone. Deep preparation adds rival kind and an origin such as childhood, hard times, admiration, a loss, old success or an accident, plus an established fact, things to avoid and private context.

Can I refine, save and share a rivalry?

Lock, change and edit individual sections. Save versions, duplicate a result to explore a variation and reopen rivalries with origin, triggers, table cues, observers, hooks, tips and possible change. Copy, export as JSON or print the full Dungeon Master dossier or player-facing character note. Review private context and the selected view before sharing.

Does it decide how the character responds?

No. The player chooses how the character answers, avoids or reshapes the rivalry. It applies no mechanic or penalty and sends nothing to Combat Pro. It prepares one personal rival rather than a rival adventuring party, an NPC grudge, an unexpected friendship or a combat encounter.
