The Anti-Wizard SWAT teams. This table probably loses some cohesion when each column is rolled independantly. Recommend rolling d10 then reading left to right.

Squad is led by...
|
Named...
|
And Their Thing Is...
|
1
|
A talking armored crocodile with a lisp.
|
Bub
|
Coming up out of solid ground like they’re a bunch of god-damned land sharks.
|
2
|
A grinning madman to whom nobody should have granted any authority. Teeth like unkempt gravestones.
|
Marty McDoom
|
Blasting open every single door they run into. At first sign of trouble they lob in explosives and keep doing so until resistance ceases.
|
3
|
A Mo-RON in a Kraken-class exosuit. A dozen razor-sharp prehensile tentacles and an intense hatred for “meatsuits”.
|
Logan III
|
Regeneration. Limbs cut off will spawn combat-ready copies within minutes. No physical injury is permanent. They attack reckless and self-destructively.
|
4
|
A woman wearing a tank’s worth of gleaming armor and a combined polehammer / cannon. Eyes ice cold.
|
Mother’s Maiden Name
|
Professionalism, discipline, and hammers. Corner and gang up, then beat their ass into pulp, one foe at a time.
|
5
|
This man looks like a potato that’s spawning more potatoes.
|
“Go Fuck Yourself”
|
Collapse the building first, ask questions later. Interrogate the bodies. Rock to Mud spells galore!
|
6
|
Holy shit is that a sprinting refrigerator?!
|
Chansy
|
Smashing through walls like the Kool-Aid Man. Charging, tackling, and wrestling those wizard nerds.
|
7
|
A giant floating fetus with telekinetic powers riding in a hovering placenta-chair. Prenatal celestial child.
|
Oomoommoooo
|
Illusions out the wazoo. Hallucinatory terrains, fake walls, fake traps, disguised selves.
|
8
|
A cackling skeleton who addresses your bones directly. She calls them out like teasing snails from their shells.
|
Luna Belfry
|
Being undead, with all immunities implied. No minds to charm, no flesh to burn. They live on until every single rune-carved bone is turned to dust.
|
9
|
A sentient blimp that serves as the team’s base of operations and commanding officer. Shark decals.
|
The Overlord
|
Dropping in from the sky, landing on the roof, bursting through windows like a bunch of badasses. Occasionally, dropping bombs from half a mile up.
|
10
|
Nobody is really sure, but they have surprisingly soft hands.
|
Invisibelle
|
Permanent Invisibility. They wait until an opportune time, then stab vital places with knives. Multiple simultaneous throat-slit.
|
The Stewards
The politically-minded Secret Police of the Archmages. Now this table you can go crazy with. Read 'em by row or scramble up with independent columns, your call.

Dressed Like...
|
With...
|
Accompanied By...
|
1
|
A pin-striped lawyer with a giraffe neck.
|
A PhD in Torture Studies. Dissertation on Subliminal Brainfuckery.
|
You are 40% certain that that’s a dog...
|
2
|
Someone you trust. Zipper going down the back. Full-body skin suit.
|
A sociopathic ease of use with Charm and Suggestion spells.
|
A crow that caws whenever it detects bullshit.
|
3
|
Michelangelo’s David, but made of solid gold.
|
Perfect hair.
|
A small boy ludicrously overburdened with all of the Stewards things.
|
4
|
They were a canvas for Jackson Pollock.
|
A disturbingly sunny disposition.
|
A spellbook with a yellow-toothed mouth on the cover that repeats threats and blasphemies.
|
5
|
A really corny tenured college professor: ugly plaid, off-color khakis, sneakers.
|
Enough dirt on important people to make them untouchable.
|
A throng of coo-ing sycophants, hissing and snarling at their enemies.
|
6
|
They’re attending a secret masked cult gathering. Different mask every time.
|
An intense and creepy obsession with trashy romance novels.
|
An ambulatory animated throne. Why is it shaped like a gaping mouth?
|
7
|
A cosmonaut. Opaque bubble helmet and a baggy reflective suit. Do they even have a face?
|
A crackling cattle prod that shoots ranged Shocking Grasp at liars.
|
Whatever it is, it has more teeth than anything else!
|
8
|
They’re at a wedding for serial killers who kill at weddings.
|
Bright blue latex gloves...
|
An exactly copy of themselves. They can talk simultaneously.
|
9
|
The Secretary at the Ministry of Many Hats. Headwear stacked to the ceiling.
|
So much debt that even death won’t let them escape it.
|
A personal court reporter who furiously transcribes every single word said.
|
10
|
You. Wearing exactly what you’re wearing.
|
Eyes containing the writhing trapped bodies of miscreants just like yourselves.
|
Some very, very beautiful people. 10/10s, terrifyingly so. You think they must be assassins?
|
T-Men
Agents of the Bureau of Spatial and Temporal Matters. With this table you can go crazy. Roll multiple times for each agent if you feel like it.

This Asshole...
|
What Space-Time Fuckery Is Going On Around Them?
|
1
|
Has their head constantly slowly rotating 360-degrees like a rotisserie chicken.
|
All their sentences and words are spoken backwards.
|
2
|
Can’t stop twitching, like an invisible demon is poking them in the face with a needle.
|
Every 10 seconds the final second repeats itself.
|
3
|
Went back in time and screwed his mom. This is his sentence.
|
They are simultaneously standing exactly next to every single person.
|
4
|
Won’t stop commenting about “How we’re all fucked anyways, so might as well…”
|
They are always in your peripheral vision, no matter how quickly you turn.
|
5
|
Is literally on fire. They don’t mind.
|
Everything is slow like molasses around them.
|
6
|
Doesn’t breathe, doesn’t move. Not a millimeter. They just are, and then are not.
|
They exist only in reflective surfaces (mirrors, watery eyes, puddles, etc.)
|
7
|
Smells like acetone, looks literally like a fuzzy stick figure - all black and grainy. No face. Just grain.
|
They are always really really far away, but communicate like they’re right next to you.
|
8
|
Has eyes like a mouse’s, blacked-out and without life.
|
Clocks whirl around madly in their presence.
|
9
|
Has so many wrinkles you’d think an elephant's butt was talking.
|
After the conversation is finished a week has passed.
|
10
|
Seems completely normal and unremarkable...
|
They walk on ceilings or walls. Gravity is different for them. They act like this is no big deal.
