Sometimes those Hirelings and Henchmen receive little more than their measly helping of Hit Points and an Armor Class. If we are lucky, we might assign them an appellation. Here are one hundred little eccentricities and affectations that might make them a little bit more memorable should they stick around for more than a session or so. Just as I sometimes do for sentient Magic Swords, I enjoy assigning each companion a number from one to twenty (lower numbers increase the frequency), and should this number come up on a die roll, I endeavor to remember to quip or mention the habit.

Nice. Do you make D30 charts and tables?
ReplyDeleteSome of my Encounter Activity Tables feature 3d30 instead of the d100 (mostly the animals, because there happened to be multiple entries per Monster), but I tend to have plenty more so that I don't get repeats right away :)
DeleteI would like to link to your site from my blog. I am trying to reboot the Order of the D30.
