Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 4649687" data-attributes="member: 467">While I appreciate the input, neither Jack's nor brock's responses solve the actual problem: creating an encounter chart for a location that's good for levels 1-10 while staying within the bounds of 4E's math. Randomly determining the level of the encounter and having encounters built for all potential encounter levels is the easy part; the hard part is figuring out if it is possible to not have to roll for encounter level (based on PL) separately than rolling for actual encounter.I might have been unclear, so i'll give a completely bogus example:When an encounter is indicated in the Fellwood, roll on this 1-20 chart:1: level 1 goblin encounter2: level 1 elf encounter3: level 2 goblin encounter4: level 2 elf encounter...19: level 10 goblin encounter20: level 10 elf encounter.now, assuming the level breaks are at every odd number (1,3,5... 19) and minimum encounter level is PL-2 and maximum encounter level is PL+3 -- we'll forget about frequency of standard vs more or less difficult encounters at the moment, as that's an adventure creation guideline -- what die do you roll with what modifier for PL to get the proper range of options.In the above example, a 5th level party should be "eligible" for encounters from 3rd to 8th level, or 5 to 16 on the die. That's only with 2 encounters per encounter level, which is a little sparse, IMO.</blockquote>
