d100 Ye Olde Zombee Job Tables



I've gone zombie mad apparently and thought I need a similar fantasy table for those rando zombies on the street or in the graveyard or sewer or swamp or forest or basement. Got to insert some weird lore too. You can roll d10 or d40 or d80 on tables for more boring zombies or just pick one of the the "quick types" categories for the "tens" digit on dth d100 and roll a d10 for the "ones" digit.

Let me know if I fluffed numbers or dropped off a line or anything weird I can fix
