I’ve written yet another character generator, this one for the 1977 Holmes Basic D&D. As with the other generators, it will create a random first-level character for you, complete with hit points, armor, equipment, armor class, XP and ability bonuses, saving throws and spells. Reload the page to get the class/race combination you want (right-click and save-as to save a text file of a given character). See the player & DM resources page for direct links to all of the generators.
I made one, non-standard addition, after seeing it on the 1st level pregen party sheet at Zenopus’ Holmes Ref – Halfing thieves. This is such a common fantasy trope, and is mentioned in the rules briefly, even if it is not officially presented. As on the pregen sheet, I used the Halfling racial bonuses from the OD&D Greyhawk supplement for the Halfling’s thief skills.
Again, suggestions welcome. Thanks to Untimately for the equipment lists and Zenopus Archives for the Holmesian random names.

Great work. Just for clarification. Are the prime requisites adjusted or unadjusted in the pre-gens?
Thank you! Mostly unadjusted and 3d6 in order. So that could still be done if the player wants. However, I added a bit of logic that bumps the prime requisite up to 9 if the class that was randomly chosen has a PR that is lower than 9. I thought this would mimic how a player would typically choose a class based on ability scores. The result of this is that you’ll never see a pregen with an XP penalty. When I get around to making this interactive that won’t be needed, since the player will be able to see the scores and choose the class.
