Hubris Occupation List for DCC Redone

A bit a go Jez over at Giblet Blizzard wrote a post about the DCC funnel and how the different races didn’t fit into the philosophy that well.  His post is awesome and worth a read.

For me I find that it is the case that there is too high a chance to get a demi-human race in the funnel and that having a town with 3 of X race, 2 of another and then 1 lowly human throws off the whole feel of “these villagers should be freaking the fuck out when they are in a dungeon and see a skeleton with snake eyes.”  Especially when my setting, Hubris, has five races.

I took the original Occupation List and instead of having each race listed 5 times, I reduced them to one each (so there is still a chance to play a different race other than human in the funnel).  If you roll a race, go to the bottom of the page, find that races listing and then roll a d6 for career and starting goods.

For the race as classes- here you be: Murder Machine, Ekrask, Kenku, Half Demon, and Mutant
