OD&D-style castle occupants
Inspired by Scott’s recent work on the Castles of Dwarf-land, I decided to start work on my new campaign by making a custom table to stock castles. To get a base-line for my custom table, I pulled some averages from the Type of Guards/Retainers in Castle table on p. 15 of U&WA:
Castle Owners
| Owner Min HD | Owner Mean HD | Owner Max HD |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 9 | 11 |
Principal Retainers
| Min HD | Mean HD | Max HD | Min # | Mean # | Max # |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3+1 | 6+3 | 9 | 1 | 4.6 | 20 |
Based on those numbers, I can pick suitable retainers and the quantities thereof:
| Hit Dice | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quantity | d20 | d12 | d10 | d8 | d6 | d4 |
I plan to finish and post my custom castle occupants table later this week.

This is very useful. I’ve thought about doing the same sort of thing by using the dungeon level of the “henchmen” to select a range of different ones.
