A Demonist, a Berserker and an Alchemist walk into a bar...

I recently found The Colossal Class List, which prompted me to go through my old copies of White Dwarf (before it went all Tabletop) and my old issues of Dragon Magazine (damn how I miss that coming to my mailbox!).  Anyhow I got to thinking about how to use these alternate classes in my Campaign, so I worked up the below Encounter Table for those times when I need the party to encounter something,  or should I say someone different.
I figured this as more of an Urban Encounter table otherwise the bandit, huntsman and other encounter chances would be different. I didn't include Ninjas or Samurai but they are easy enough to add in there.
I hope you get some use out of it. Enjoy!

  1. Ah, I have a fascination with those Dragon "NPC" classes. I have a few of the issues that have some in there. Interesting to see how many times some of those classes were done and re-done.

  2. Timelord! Your class ability is to flit in and out, explain nothing, and land the rest of the party in trouble. Prime req CHA, indistinguishable from a con-man, unless you can rope the DM into your mad schemes as well.
