1e Dnd Oriental Adventures Ancestry / Birthright style charts for PF?

[Jay Ellingson]

I was looking at the old OA book and it had charts for honor, ancestry and birthright for characters starting wealth, family wealth, etc. Would be neat to meld that into a characters background creation for some situations. Are there any ideas where I may find something similar (even 3pp)?
Maybe even something that incorporates birth rank (social class)as well?
Thanks folks!

Are you looking for systems/settings where this sort of social class is baked into the game? There are several RPGs that have this sort of thing, like Pendragon, L5R, ASoIaF and more, but the way they are treated mechanically are all quite closely tied to the setting. You can take inspiration and adapt these things to your game, but it might ake a bit of work.

If you are looking for random tables to plug-and-play with 'generic' D&D where social class is a mostly unimportant background for an adventurer, I'd have to look through my collection when I get home. 1e OA obviously, and I'm sure there are others but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Try the background section of Ultimate Campaign.

I liked the addition of "cash strings", family land/farms, etc. to flesh out the background and belongings mostly. I will scope out those other ideas as well. Thanks!
