A group of PCs fighting NPCs all the time will find themselves with alot more treasure than average.As for monsters, there are the occasional predator types that stumble upon the PCs but there are also lairs, dens, tracks, previous kills, etc. that PCs come across and will investigate leading to an encounter (or try to avoid if the signs look like something big and nasty). Out in the wilderness where there is little to no traffic it really doesn't make sense to run into an NPC and would likely stretch believability there if that was all they met out in the boonies.If not in the wilds but simply traveling on well-used roads, then yes, it doesn't make any sense to run into a deep-woods dragon or other nasty beast. Things like that would be more of a rarity with road-patrols about and would create quite a bit of news if it did happen. Nonetheless you can roll up the encounter ahead of time and plan ahead by having incoming traffic battered and hurt after an attack, or rumors/news of the beast ravaging trade along the road or perhaps even a reward out.Just some notes off the top of me head, hope it helps a little.Cheers!</blockquote>
