d100 - Mercenary Minutiae & Sellsword Specifics

Eventually, games might reach a point at which the Players will seek out Mercenaries to assist them with achieving certain goals/aspirations. For when this occurs, I wanted to provide a few Resources for generating those Mercenary Companies, so I set about alloying a few existing tables, and even ended up hammering out a new one.

These will all eventually make their way into a “Mercenary Company Generator” I’m working on, but for the time being the newly minted Table is below. I have many thoughts on how to use Mercenaries in these games, but I’ll likely save those for a separate and more dedicated post.
