I don't have the DMG with me at the moment, so bear with me. I'm presuming the standard from DMG is 15%, please adjust these numbers if I'm wrong (and this percentage is to cover all the different types of mages, you can break that number up as you see fit).

I actually don't remember ever seeing a chart that breaks down NPCs by percentage for classes in the DMG. In fact, I just looked again, and I still can't find it. Where is this?

Perhaps you mean in the Monsterous Manual fequency things for humans?

It might not be a good idea to use the "frequency thing" for general
demographics, though. Mages make up a larger part of the "adventurer"
population than they do the general population.

I have never seen those either, but I saw those in a NPC encounter generator
for unix systems, this one was designed for 1st edition, so I would guess they
are in DMG-1st_Ed. Maybe it was left out from 2nd ed as TSR assumed that
everyone would have the 1st ed rules and suppliments.

This by the way was not the table that (I thought) I had seen. Actually I know I've seen it somewhere, but it could just as easily have been a magazine article - Dragon perhaps, or even a local equivalent - I'd read anywhere in the last 1.5 decades - I've been gaming a while now (read: getting old, memory going :-),

Don't worry about it. RPG senility. It happens to the best of us. In fifteen twenty years you've played enough lifetimes as a character that the onset of old age diseases is probably way past due, right?
