DCC uses an occupation table for flavoring 0-level peasants. Since you're supposed to tear through a pack of them in the first session it seems an unnecessary bit of characterization, but it guarantees them a starting weapon and a profession. It's actually perfect for differentiating between what would otherwise be similarly statted faceless (and probably nameless) drones. I've hacked the DCC 0-level Occupation table for my campaign, cutting out the bits that don't fit the setting so well as well as switching the halfling entries with goblins.
