Roll to flirt

Heard a podcaster mention the "infamous prostitution table" from the first-edition "AD&D - Dungeon Master's Guide". I'd pored over said tome as a baby DM, but could not recall such a saucy chart.

Dug out my current copy (the faux-leather, gilt-edged reprint from 2012) and it turned out the podder was kind of right. There's a teensy table on p.192 for the type of "harlot" adventurers might encounter in a city/town.

I'm not gonna analyse that terminology. Let's just accept this questionable reference was of its time - 1979 - and that Gary Gygax and co., with their wargamer mentality, liked to rules-ify EVERYTHING.
