OSR: Table of Races

Here's a d50 table of fantasy/OSR races.

Rather than have races gain a +2 bonus to a characteristic, I prefer to have them grant a reroll. Elves, can reroll their Charisma scores and pick the higher result. It makes them, on average, prettier, but it doesn't lock you into the classic "orc = fighter, elf = wizard, dwarf = paladin" builds of later editions.

Roll	Race	Reroll	Bonus	Weakness
1-10	Human	Choice	Start with 1 extra random item	-4 to resist being mutated or transformed
11-15	Elf	CHA	Eat half as many rations	Save vs Ugliness
