[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8545332, member: 53980"] 1 in 20 is still absurdly dangerous. A mile is 5280 ft. The area of a square mile is a little under 28 million square feet. 5% of 28 million is 1,400,000 square feet. The standard 5 foot square is 25 square feet, so if we divide 1,400,000 by 25 we get a result of 56,000 standard 5 ft squares of danger in a single square mile of land (actually slightly less than that since I rounded up). You can see how insane that would be, don't you? An old school killer-DM dungeon that makes no allusions towards verisimilitude contains less danger than a single square mile of wilderness? Even if you define it as hostile wilderness, it still doesn't make sense. Short distance teleports to a very familiar place (preferably with an associated object) are all I've been discussing in this thread.
