d100 Peculiarity Table for Galbaruc

I made this table f or my Galbaruc campaign, though with some tweaking it might work f or yours. I jotted down 106 entries, but ended up scrapping a lot of them, narrowing it down to the 50 I liked best. My campaign only has 2 PC races in it (Humans and VatSpawn) so this table's f or Human characters, to give them a little distinction. T hese are probably not even remotely balanced.
