This list is intended for any Post Apocalyptic / Dark Future setting (like Post-Apocalyptic Blues, Cy-Borg, Cyberpunk (any version), Gamma World, After the Bomb, Aftermath, Fatal Highway, APOCalypse 2500, Shadowrun, Rifts, etc.) where a wide range of madmen, war parties, deranged cults, outlaw gangs, and scheming settlements run rampant in a shattered future world. NOTE: We suggest rolling two or three times (2 for NPCs and 3 for PCs) and then choosing the best result for the character or blending of two results together.
This Roll Percentile list has one hundred possible results in this format:
