Lost World Occupations for Adventurers of the Lost World (DCC RPG)

In a previous post, I talked about zero level characters occupations in the Adventurers of the Lost World mainly from the point of view of individuals coming from Our World (the fictional 1930s fantasy pulp version or our world at least). Now it's time to talk a little bit about the zero level occupations for characters hailing from the Lost World itself! In addition, we provide a little information on the usage of zero level trade goods. As usual, this is a draft text and the final version of it might be slightly different.

Lost World Occupations

Lost World characters originate from the various cultures and races that call that savage land home. Many human civilizations still survive in this land. As well as many more non human ones. As before, The judge can allow a player to choose his own occupation or make him roll on the following table. Each of them represent the role the character had in his society before heading out on his adventures.

Zero Level Trade Goods Usage

Some of the trade goods listed on the tables above have broad definitions they will seem almost generic and unclear. That was done on purpose. Whenever one of the players want to use one of those items in a creative way and there is no clear idea if the item would function or allow this kind of use, call for a Luck test. If the character passes the test, it works as intended and some notes might need to be taken regarding the way the item works. If he fails, it's not that kind of item, or it doesn't work for that purpose, or it's batteries run out, or whatever reason makes more sense at the time.

Non Human Characters

Non human characters are generated when using the Lost World zero level occupation table. The first 50 results on the table generate characters that are not human. They are part of unique races, natives to the Lost World and as such have a special treatment by the rules. They can't level up choosing which classes they will follow, they have to level up as their racial class. That makes them more unique, since they will be different from any other class, with special abilities and talents. The complete write up for them can be found under the Lost World Character Classes section below.
