Typically, I'm not a fan of random rolls in character generation/management. I prefer point-buy and fixed hit points these days, due to the problem where one player gets really good rolls and the other really poor rolls. However, just for fun, and inspired by the random career tables in WFRP, I have put together a set of random race/class/alignment tables for D&D, including the PHB races and alignments, and the classes from the PHB and Expanded Psionics Handbook, and some of the classes from the Complete series (specifically, the Swashbuckler, Favoured Soul, Warmage, Scout and Spellthief - the ones I like, and that don't have an Oriental Adventures vibe to them).
I imagine it could be quite interesting to play in a campaign where the characters were generated using the tables to get race and class. Of course, you'd probably end up with an LG Elf Fighter, an NG Halfling Psychic Warrior, a CG Dwarf Cleric, an LG Halfing Psion and a Neutral Elf Cleric. At least, that's what I just got.
I would post the tables, but bit tables in html are a pain to code.
