[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6038940, member: 8835"] yes, bad weather does happen. But statistically, it doesn't happen constantly in the same area to the same people. If you look at it as "this one time, bad stuff happened to people" so it should happen to the PCs as well, that's one thing. I'm looking at it as a function of real weather patterns and random generator tables. A group of people choosing to travel a week's journey within the "normal travelling season of Spring to Fall" are not statistically likely to hit constant weather challenges or terrain challenges (that part's more driven by WHERE the party is going), or animal attacks. It's just not plausible that EVERY caravan going from point A to point B for a week long trek experiences animal attacks, horrible weather, avalanches, floods, and other natural catastrophe's. Take Dioltech's example. Look up that season and see how many OTHER events like that happened that year. Though mountains are in the area of more random/dangerous weather, it sure wasn't constant. He just got lucky (or unluck) to have chosen that week to be out there. It is plenty likely that intelligent threats may make the journey dangerous (monster encounters). More so than any given day, yet another storm washes out the bridge, floods the valley, and destroys our supplies that the rapacious racoons didn't steal. [/QUOTE]
