Here is a random D100 table designed for a post-apocalyptic setting using the SIEGE Engine by Troll Lord Games. This blog entry picks right up from d100 Random Sword & Sorcery Barbarian Hordes For Castles & Crusades rpg Campaign
To keep this perfectly tailored to the system, each entry includes essential mechanical anchors: Hit Dice (HD), Armor Class (AC), Primary Attributes (Primes) for saving throws/SIEGE checks, primary weapons, and their specific Combat Abilities or Special Hazards.
How to Use the Primes in Combat:
When characters target these raiders with spells, hazards, or special maneuvers, the listed Primes determine the raider's Challenge Base (12 if it's a Prime, 18 if it's a Secondary).

Castle Keeper’s Tip for the SIEGE Engine:
When your players encounter these raiders, remember that any situational environmental factors (e.g., radioactive ash storms, slick oil slicks, or crumbling highway overpasses) should modify the Challenge Level (CL) of the SIEGE checks. Add the Raider's HD directly to the difficulty when characters try to trick, sneak past, or physically overpower them!
