In the perilous worlds in which most
AD&D®
game campaigns are set, player
characters often encounter intelligent
opponents who are (through the work of some
other force) or soon become (at the hands
of
the party) helpless to defend themselves.
When such victims are bestial monsters,
treasure is expected when player characters
go looking for plunder — but what if the
victims are 0-level humans, the countless
merchants, craftsmen, beggars, farmers,
and other innocent bystanders who fill
cities
and villages in the fantasy world? What
do
they have “in their pocketses”?
Here are tables to aid the harried DM
when player characters insist on rifling
the
pockets of drunks in alleyways, casualties
in
tavern brawls, innocent or not-so-innocent
targets of hold person spells, corpses
on
battlefields, and the like.
First, decide which of these categories
describes the victim(s) in question:
Merchant
Craftsman
Laborer
Mercenary
Warrior
Farmer
Errand-runner
Knave
Noble
Beggar
Each of these categories is briefly described
hereafter, and for each the combination of tables to roll on is given.
Unless
specific instructions are given to the
contrary, DMs should roll twice or more on
each table that applies, or choose specific
items from the tables (in which case the
tables actually serve as lists).
Merchant:
This category includes all
independent operators engaged in trade
and
commerce, including moneylenders and
moneychangers, ferrymen, and tavernmasters.
It does not include craftsmen (see
below). Most merchants are literate. Roll
on tables B, H, J, K, and I. If traveling,
roll also on D and F.
<B, D, F, H, J, I,
K>
<eg. distinguished
class, aka LUC>
Craftsman:
Craftsmen and women are
those who earn a living by skilled handiwork
of some sort, independently or in the
service of another. This-includes-smiths,
coopers, harness-makers, tanners, potters,
carpenters, masons, wood carvers, and
wagon-makers. Most craftsmen are literate
or semi-literate. Roll on tables A, E,
G, J,
and K. If traveling, roll also on D and
F.
<A, D, E, F, G, J,
K>
<eg. middle class>
Laborer: This
category takes in all
presently-employed individuals who earn
a
living by the strength of their bodies,
per
forming some unskilled or routine task
not
requiring complex training. This includes
miners, farmhands, dock men, and all other
loaders and unloaders of goods, and those
who dig graves, pits, trenches, and the
like.
Most laborers are illiterate. Roll on tables
A, E, and I. If traveling, roll also on
tables
D, G, and K.
<A, D, E, I, G, K>
<eg. lower class>
Mercenary:
This category includes all
hireswords, those independents who fight
for the pay of any master rather than in
the
continuous service of only one. Mercenaries
are generally better fighters than warriors
(see below) but are almost always more
poorly equipped. Roll on tables A, C, D,
G, and K. If traveling, roll also on tables
F
and H. This category includes caravan
guards; caravan masters are usually considered
as merchants (see above) for belongings and warriors (see below) for armor
and
weaponry.
<A, C, D, F, G, H,
K>
<eg. fighter classes>
Warrior: This
category includes both
men-at-arms and guards, sworn to the
service of an individual, family, or guild.
The bodyguards of nobles and other important
personages fall into this category. Roll
on tables B, C, D, G,
and K. If traveling
roll also in F and I.
<B, C, D, F, G, I,
K>
<eg. knight classes>
Farmer: This
category includes all who
independently (or, for a fee, working the
land of another absent individual) earn
their
living by raising produce on the land.
Farmhands are considered laborers (see
above); their masters are farmers. This
category includes independent drovers and
herdsmen. Farmers tend to be middle-aged
and in prime physical condition. Roll on
tables A, D, and J, and as follows: if
traveling to market, roll on tables F, G, and K. If
at home, roll on tables E and I.
<A, D, F, G, J, K>
<eg. low class>
Errand-Runner:
This category includes
apprentices and assistants to all the above
categories; they are generally younger
and
less well-trained than their masters/
employers. Roll on tables A (or B if applicable),
D, E, G, J, and K. If at home, roll on
tables E and I.
<A/B, D, E, G, J,
K>
<eg. children and teenagers>
Knave: This catch-all
category includes
jobless persons: hangers-on, roustabouts,
street youths, and 0-level (NPC) thieves,
the “rabble” of any settlement. Roll on
tables A, D, K, and (if applicable) G.
For
pilgrims, roll also on table H.
<A, D, K, G>
<eg. thieves, assassins>
Noble: This category
includes gentry,
envoys and dignitaries of churches, guilds,
and state, and visiting VIPs. The actual
wealth, dress, or even presence of this
category at all will vary according to your world
and the specific location; it is suggested
that
the DM make deliberate selections from
tables B, D, F, H, K, and perhaps I and
J,
rather than rolling randomly.
<B, D, F, H, I, J,
K>
<eg. nobles>
Beggar: This
category includes diseased
(e.g., with leprosy) and disabled persons,
those forced to beg. (Able-bodied, sham
beggars should be considered as knaves.)
Roll on tables A, D, G, and K (also, perhaps,
on table I).
<A, D, G, I, K>
<eg. low class>
Table A: Everyday garments
Roll once on each subtable. For well-todo
individuals, roll twice on subtables 1 and
3. For beggars and knaves, roll on subtable

Table F: Traveling goods and gear
Follow the four steps below in the order
given. Items considered cargo (materials
carried for trade) should be determined
deliberately by the DM, and are not given
here; Table J gives a random selection.
1. Choose whether victim is afoot (or
afloat) and alone, or using beasts of burden:
mules, horses, oxen, camels, or others
(e.g.,
yaks, dogs, elephants, pack lizards).
2. Choose conveyance (or none): wagon,
litter (covered cargo or passenger cubicle
on
poles, borne on shoulders of 2 or 4 men
or
beasts), travois (two poles with cargo
lashed
to them, and between them ? poles and
ground form triangular shape ? dragged
behind men or beasts of burden), sledges
or
sleighs (dragged behind teams of men or
beasts; best in snow).
