Promise Unkept; also Compositions of Monsters

I should have known I'd never get that next DCC Patron out in a week, even though I've had the basic outline together since before I posted the May Queen.  Something always comes up.  So, I'm still working on the details of that, and maybe will be for a while.

But, I did hammer out a quick set of tables, inspired by Delta's Compositions of Men post.  Delta's main intent was to work out some inconsistencies in the OD&D rules for encounters with groups of men, but as a bonus side effect, he came up with numbers that easily plug into many wargames.  At some point when the fluff wasn't coming to me for the DCC Patron, I crunched some numbers, and worked out similar lists for every monster in the MM, FF, and MM2 with different listed percentages for weapon loadouts.  At least every monster I could find...I might have overlooked something.  So if you want to turn your random encounter into a Battlesystem unit with minimum muss and fuss, here you go:

 I had to make some judgement calls as I went; for instance, whether grimlocks would favor two-handed swords or battleaxes (both at 15% or .15).  I left the proportions of each weapon type in there, so you can switch them out if you don't agree with my priorities.  Some of the decisions I made were based around what I assume each race's fighting style might be, and some based on availability of weapons (grimlocks get battleaxes first, because they're more common than two-handed swords).  Some I pulled out of my ass, so switching them out is most definitely your prerogative. 

I will get that next DCC Patron eventually.
