That's sufficient reason for a difference between indoors and outdoors. Inside of a dungeon, I can reasonably be expected to place everything of value. Outside of a dungeon, it would be impossible for me to place every rabbit and berry, so I use an algorithm which objectively simulates what the likely outcome of such a search would be, if I had been able to place everything beforehand (taking into account such factors as the probability of the character searching in a place where nothing exists, and their ability to spot something if it does exist).One of the reasons I don't like wandering treasure is because I want to avoid the appearance of meta-gaming. I don't want it to look like I'm giving out loot based on my own personal preferences about what they should find or not. If I consult my map before answering what they find, then it looks less suspicious then if I ask them to roll and then give an answer off the top of my head.</blockquote>
