Redwald Table 1-1
At 1st Level the party may have to work with Fyrdmen, at 2nd and 3rd they'll sometimes have Fyrdmen under their command. These tables are to make one of those faceless 1hd Fyrdmen a little more interesting, add a little roleplay spice, and in some cases complication.
Roll on tables 1, 2, and 3 then arrange in the way that makes the most sense like these statements for example . . .
1) One of the Fyrdmen is a/an 1 2 called 3
2) One of the Fyrdmen is a/an 2 and a/an 1 called 3
3) One of the Fyrdmen is 1 but is a/an 2 called 3
Ignore or re-roll results that don't make sense or you don't like. If you roll the same name for both elements of the name just use that once (just Wulf, instead of Wulfwulf for example).
On my first effort I rolled 12 on 1, 8 on 2, and on 3 I rolled 58 and 23 so I have Evil, Shitstirrer, Frith, and red. So . . .
. . . One of the Fyrdmen is an Evil Shitstirrer called Frithred.
Another go gives me Fearless, Braggart, Wulf, noth. That could be arranged as . . .
. . . One of the Fyrdmen is a Fearless Braggart called Wulfnoth.
or
. . . One of the Fyrdmen is Fearless, but is a Braggart called Wulfnoth.
It's a very slight difference, but each suggests a slightly different character to me. Wulfnoth the Fearless Braggart rushes into danger and then boasts about how fucking awesome he was. Wulfnoth who is fearless, but is a braggart pisses everyone off with his constant boasting about this and that, but when swords are drawn he's a man to have by your side. But that bastard Fithred is just an evil little shitstirrer and it's his fault the party 'accidentally' killed the King of Westlund's messenger.
