1d6 Random Petty Barbarian Warlords NPC's Table For Your Old School Campaigns

There are always those who live on the fringes of the map, those who refuse to settle down into civilization's ways  lest they become soft & lose the razor edge of being a warrior, bandit, or worse. These men & women are laws unto themselves & Heaven help those who cross those under their protection. These leaders often have to be hard to protect those under their wing from the scourge of the wastelands & the dark forces of the supernatural.



There is a 60% chance of these minor warlords having access to a wizard, shaman, witch doctor, or seer of power. These warlords rely on the magick of a minor wizard or hedge sorcerer to warn them of danger to their tribe or forces. Often these barbarian rabble are made up of a motley crew of outsiders, strangers, outlaws, bandits, and escaped convicts. They often have deep ties to the local thieves guild or a sect of the assassins fraternities or lodges.



There is a 40% chance that for every five or so people there will be a family of 2nd level bandit fighters or brigands. These will have type B loot from raids earlier in the month. There is a 20% chance of them having some minor relic or artifact not even realizing what it is. Knights,cataphracts, & even the occasional paladin sometimes take up this life often because of the shifting political scenes of their countries. These armored warriors are often the leaders of groups of veteran fighters who take up the bandit or warlord  life style.




There is a 10% chance that any of these groups will have type C or better treasure from booty and loot that that will be guarded with a full force of 1st thru 3rd level fighters.
