Random Starting Gear

In addition to a random item from the table in the Dungeon Crawl Classics core rulebook, each character gains one roll off the d120 table below. Players may choose to substitute the DCC table with that from Mutant Crawl Classics, the Umerican Survival Guide, etc., if they so desire, for one or all of their characters.
