Batman Villain Classics



Image result for 60s batman villains

Inspired by some discussion about how good batman villains are, as well as Dan D's excellent Super Smash Classics funnel for Dungeon Crawl Classics, I've started putting together a random character background generator based on classic batman villains. At the moment it's a d20 table with some of the most iconic villains, but I'm working on expanding it to a full d100.
Equipment is listed with fairly general stats, but implies a dB/dX style ruleset.

Edit: Updated with another 20 classic 60s Batman villains in purple down below!
Edit: Added another 20 of the goofier villains from throughout the batman universe, expanding this into a d60 table. Pretty sure that's the last I'll do on this for now.
