[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7977512, member: 18"] I was looking at the reincarnate table and it's kind of fascinating. 21% chance to be "another bloody elf", 20% chance to be a human, 17% chance to be a Dwarf, 16% chance to be a Halfling, 10% chance to Gnome, and 4% each for Dragonborn, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, and Tiefling d100 - Race: 01-04 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Dragonborn#h-Dragonborn']Dragonborn[/URL] 05-13 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Dwarf#h-Dwarf']Dwarf[/URL], hill 14-21 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Dwarf#h-Dwarf']Dwarf[/URL], [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Creatures%20by%20Terrain%20%28CC%29#h-Mountain']Mountain[/URL] 22-25 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Elf#h-Elf']Elf[/URL], dark 26-34 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Elf#h-Elf']Elf[/URL], high 35-42 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Elf#h-Elf']Elf[/URL], wood 43-46 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Gnome#h-Gnome']Gnome[/URL], [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Creatures%20by%20Terrain%20%28CC%29#h-Forest']Forest[/URL] 47-52 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Gnome#h-Gnome']Gnome[/URL], rock 53-56 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Half-Elf#h-Half-Elf']Half-Elf[/URL] 57-60 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Half-Orc#h-Half-Orc']Half-Orc[/URL] 61-68 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Halfling#h-Halfling']Halfling[/URL], [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Halfling#h-Lightfoot']Lightfoot[/URL] 69-76 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Halfling#h-Halfling']Halfling[/URL], stout 77-96 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Human#h-Human']Human[/URL] 97-00 [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Tiefling#h-Tiefling']Tiefling[/URL] Obviously the table is entirely optional, and the DM can always pick, and there are alternate tables out there, and so on, but I kind of wonder at how they chose these percentages.
